TERT Promoter Mutations and Other Prognostic Factors in Patients with Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma Treated with an Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor – Beyond the Abstract

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have become an integral part of the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (aUC).1–5 A significant minority of patients (about 15-20%) may achieve durable responses, but unfortunately, this remains the case in only this small subset of patients. Although increased tumor PD-L1 expression and the presence of a high tumor […]

Safety and Efficacy of Polydimethylsiloxane (Macroplastique®) in Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence: Analysis of Data from Patients Who Completed Three Years Follow-Up – Beyond the Abstract

While it is a strong design to offer the longitudinal, not cross-sectional, outcome it doesn’t include all ROSE study patients at the time of analysis, i.e., patients with less […]

High-intensity interval training or resistance training versus usual care in men with prostate cancer on active surveillance: A three-arm feasibility randomized controlled trial.

This study assessed the feasibility of a phase II randomized controlled trial of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), resistance training (RT), and usual care (UC) in men with prostate cancer (PCa) on active surveillance (AS) and evaluated changes in clinically relevant outcomes.

A comparison of prostate cancer prediction models in men undergoing both magnetic resonance imaging and transperineal biopsy: Are the models still relevant?

To externally validate and compare the performance of the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer risk calculator 3/4 (ERSPC-RC3/4), the Prostate Biopsy Collaborative Group risk calculator (PBCG-RC) and the van Leeuwen model to determine which prediction model would perform the best in a contemporary Australian cohort undergoing transperineal (TP) biopsy.
