    This study analyzed the impact of body mass index (BMI) on biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy in Dutch men with prostate cancer.

  • 2

    A total of 1,116 prostate cancer patients were included, with a median age of 66.3 years and a median BMI of 25.3 kg/m2.

  • 3

    No significant differences in clinical or pathological findings were observed among different BMI groups in the study population.

  • 4

    The 5-year risk of BCR was similar across normal weight, overweight, and obese patients, with no statistically significant differences.

  • 5

    BMI was not a significant prognostic factor for BCR after radical prostatectomy in either univariable or multivariable analyses.
