We assess the effect of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Moreover, we delineate risk factors for urine retention in such patients.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) following prostate cancer treatment is not uncommon and penile rehabilitation is considered the standard of care in prostate cancer survivorship (PCS), where both patient and his partner desire to maintain and/or recover pre-treatment erectile function (EF).
JAMA oncology. 2021 Mar 01 [Epub] Oncology patient care may be disrupted secondary to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) through delays in diagnostic investigations and surgical procedures, as well as delayed cancer diagnoses because of reduced cancer screening. This study assesses the number of patients undergoing cancer screening tests and of ensuing cancer diagnoses during the […]
Three-dimensional (3D) models improve the comprehension of renal anatomy. To evaluate the impact of novel 3D-derived parameters, to predict surgical outcomes after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).
Long noncoding RNAs have been studied more and more as potential prognostic markers. However, the prognostic of LINC00460 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has not been explored. In this study, the potential role of LINC00460 was investigated in ccRCC.
In 2016, the NIH designated sexual and gender minorities (SGM) a health disparity population. The next year, the American Society of Clinical Oncology highlighted the need to improve the suboptimal cancer and survivorship care received by SGM populations.
Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is a rare but aggressive histologic variant of prostate cancer that responds poorly to androgen deprivation therapy. Hybrid NEPC-adenocarcinoma (AdCa) tumors are common, often eluding accurate pathologic diagnosis and requiring ancillary markers for classification.
Men with prior negative prostate biopsies have a lower risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer in comparison with biopsy-naive men. However, the relative clinical utility of identified lesions on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is uncertain between the 2 settings.
Transperineal (TP) prostate biopsy provides an effective approach to prostate cancer (PCa) detection. Although transrectal targeted biopsy has been well described, the specific advantage of the standard TP template or TP targeted biopsy using multiparametric MRI-ultrasound (mpMRI-US) fusion remains less understood and without consensus.
Staging, restaging, and surveillance of urothelial carcinoma (UC) is challenging due to suboptimal accuracy of standard of care imaging modalities. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) imaging may serve to improve characterisation of UC.
