To assess the impact of body mass index (BMI) on peri-operative outcomes of kidney and upper tract robot-assisted surgery. Medical audit of patients who underwent robot-assisted kidney and upper tract cancer surgery at a single institution between 2017 and 2019, categorized on BMI into obese patients with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 and a control group with BMI < 25 kg/m2.

Mutations in DNA damage repair genes, in particular genes involved in homology-directed repair, define a subgroup of men with prostate cancer with a more unfavorable prognosis but a therapeutic vulnerability to PARP inhibition.

To investigate the effect of time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) nadir (TTN) after radiation therapy (RTx) for prostate cancer (PCa) on biochemical recurrence (BCR) and overall survival (OS) rates.

Determine the multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) appearance of the prostate following focal laser ablation (FLA) for PCa and to identify imaging characteristics associated with recurrent disease.

This paper (1) sought to compare sleep, mood and physical symptom profiles of men with prostate cancer (PCa) who experienced subjective and objective cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) during the first year of treatment and (2) examine if fluctuations in mood and physical symptoms are associated with change in subjective or objective CRCI.

The Prostate Imaging Quality (PI-QUAL) score assesses the quality of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI). A score of 1 means all sequences are below the minimum standard of diagnostic quality, 3 implies that the scan is of sufficient diagnostic quality, and 5 means that all three sequences are of optimal diagnostic quality.

To report survival trends and oncological outcomes of penile cancer surgically treated patients, at a high-volume center, treating more than 25 patients each year, in a high incidence country. Clinical charts of all patients that underwent surgical management for PC were reviewed.

Molecular markers associated with breast cancer are assumed to be associated with outcome in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). We retrospectively investigated the association of the mRNA expression of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and 2 (ESR2), progesterone receptor (PGR), MKI67, and HER2 (ERBB2) with recurrence-free (RFS), cancer-specific (CSS), and overall survival (OS) in 80 patients with […]
