This retrospective cohort study examined whether RBC storage duration is independently associated with biochemical recurrence following radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. We analyzed 316 men who underwent radical prostatectomy with perioperative allogeneic RBC transfusion at Cleveland Cli...
