Robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) is an established surgical procedure for the management of obstructive symptoms caused by large adenomas. Traditionally, this is performed according to the trans-vescical (Freyer) or trans-capsular (Millin) technique.
To investigate whether a deep learning model from magnetic resonance imaging information is an accurate method to predict the risk of urinary incontinence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
Testosterone is the major male hormone produced by testicles which are directly associated with man’s appearance and secondary sexual developments. Androgen deficiency starts when the male hormonal level falls from its normal range though, in youngsters, the deficiency occurs due to disruption of the normal functioning of pituitary, hypothalamus glands, and testes.
To explore associations between dietary habits and erectile dysfunction (ED) in a cohort of patients presenting to a high-volume men’s health clinic. All patients presenting to a high-volume men’s health clinic between July 2018 and May 2019 were evaluated for their dietary habits and screened with the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) and Androgen […]
Penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare and aggressive urological malignancy. Advanced penile SCC requires multimodal management, including surgery and systemic therapy. Given its rarity, there have been few substantial advances in our understanding of the molecular and genomic drivers of penile SCC, especially for patients with relapsed or advanced disease.
Sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma (sRCC) represents a rare form of renal cell carcinoma marked by an aggressive biology, poor prognosis and little benefit from anti-angiogenic targeted therapy. More promising results come from the recent therapeutic strategy based on immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) combinations.
In spite of the mixed evidence for their impact, survivorship Care Plans (SCPs) are recommended to enhance quality of care for cancer survivors. Data on the feasibility of SCPs in bladder cancer (BC) is sparse.
miR-375-3p is a significantly downregulated miRNA in bladder cancer (BC). However, its role in BC regulation is still unclear. In this study, we reported that miR-375-3p overexpression inhibited proliferation and migration and promoted apoptosis in BC cells.
We found that FOXO1-shRNA sublines or FOXO1-positive cells co-treated with a FOXO1 inhibitor were significantly more resistant to cisplatin treatment at pharmacological concentrations, compared with respective control sublines or those with mock treatment.
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the prognostic impact of intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). A systematic search was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic Review and Meta-analysis statement.
