Purpose: We evaluated whether a positive surgical margin at the apex confers a different likelihood of biochemical recurrence than at other sites.Material and Methods: A total of 3,087 men underwent radical prostatectomy between January 2000 and June 2008. Patients with prior treatment, positive seminal vesicles, lymph node involvement or less than 6 months of followup were excluded from analysis. The remaining 1,667 men were grouped by margin status, including negative surgical margins, a solitary positive apical margin, a solitary nonapical positive margin and multiple positive margins. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare biochemical recurrence across groups. Cox proportional hazards models were constructed to determine whether a solitary positive apical margin is an independent risk factor for biochemical recurrence.Results: Median followup was 21.1 months. Of the cases 1,295 (77.7%) had negative surgical margins, 96 (5.8%) had a solitary positive apical margin, 82 (4.9%) had a solitary positive nonapical margin and 194 (11.6%) had multiple positive margins. The likelihood of biochemical recurrence in solitary positive apical margin cases was between that of negative surgical margins and a solitary positive nonapical margin with multiple positive margins showing the highest likelihood of biochemical recurrence (p
