Concurrent urinary incontinence (UI) and erectile dysfunction (ED) can greatly damage a patient’s quality of life. Owing to the intertwined anatomy, treatment options for one most certainly have implications on the other.
Penile cancer represents a rare pathology whose natural history of treatment is poorly understood. To illustrate the dynamic survival profiles in surgically treated patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis (SCCP) using the conditional survival (CS) estimates.
To validate models currently used to predict metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) outcomes in a cohort of patients undergoing cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN). Ten renal cell carcinoma (RCC) prognostic models (International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium [IMDC]; Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center [MSKCC]; Culp; Leibovich; University of California at Los Angeles Integrated Staging System [UISS]; Stage, Size, […]
Non-malignant pathology (NMP) has been reported in 15-20% of surgeries for cT1 renal masses (cT1RM). We seek to identify opportunities for improvement in avoiding surgery for NMP. MUSIC-KIDNEY started collecting data in 2017.
To describe the crucial factors related to the implementation of the da Vinci SP system, and the early outcomes after the introduction of this robot for radical prostatectomy (RARP).

To explore radiation oncologists’ attitudes and practice patterns of radiotherapy for hormone-naïve prostate cancer with bone metastases in Japan. An internet-based survey was distributed to board-certified radiation oncologists of the Japanese Society of Radiation Oncology.
We investigated whether there is an association between testosterone levels and prostate cancer aggressiveness in patients treated with radiation therapy who underwent a prostatectomy or prostate radiotherapy (EBRT).
Many elderly localized prostate cancer patients could benefit from conservative management (CM). This retrospective cohort study examined the associations of patient-reported access to care and multimorbidity on CM use patterns among Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) beneficiaries with localized prostate cancer.
