Abstract:
Testosterone levels in a patient predicts whether or not the patient is likely to recover sexual potency following radical prostatectomy. Lower levels of testosterone are associated with a lower rate of potency recovery and with more aggressive prostate cancers. Therapeutically increasing circulating testosterone leads to improved rates of return to potency.
