  A study of patients treated at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City found "this operation has the ability to cure three of every four men, 15 years after the diagnosis," said Dr. Fernando J. Bianco, Jr., an oncology fellow at the center who delivered the report.
  
  Even for men in whom the cancer recurs after surgery, "the chances that they will make it to 15 years is very high," Bianco said.
  
  Recurrence is indicated by a rising level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein produced by both normal and cancerous prostate tissue.However, the PSA test is not the best and only indicator of prostate cancer
  
  "Even for those who developed a rising PSA after radical prostatectomy, the probability of death from cancer at 10 and 15 years was 23 percent and 38 percent," Bianco said.
