Intralesional Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCh) was the first non-surgical therapy approved for Peyronie’s disease (PD). However, CCh’s cost and poor market uptake has led to its discontinuation in Europe and Canada.
Ejaculatory dysfunction (EjD) and erectile dysfunction after cancer treatment are clinically important complications, but their exact prevalence by various kinds of cancer site and type of treatment is unknown.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is common in older adults. Although BPH may be asymptomatic in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with low diuresis, the condition may become troublesome when diuresis resumes after transplantation.
Subcutaneous emphysema (SCE) is a complication associated with laparoscopic surgery. Severe SCE complicated by excessive hypercarbia may afford detrimental effects in surgical patients with cardiac dysfunction.
Testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) are stratified into seminomas and non-seminomas. Seminomas share many histological and molecular features with primordial germ cells, whereas the non-seminoma stem cell population – embryonal carcinoma (EC) – is pluripotent and thus able to differentiate into cells of all three germ layers (teratomas).
To determine the rate of incisional hernia after surgery for renal cell carcinoma, to compare the rate after open vs minimally invasive surgery and radical nephrectomy vs partial nephrectomy and to identify risk factors for incisional hernia.
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the tumor types with sensitivity to ferroptosis, and immunotherapy has emerged as a standard pillar for metastatic ccRCC treatment, while it remains largely obscure whether ferroptosis influences the tumor immune microenvironment in ccRCC.
Prostate heterogeneity on multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) may confound image interpretation by obscuring lesions; systematic biopsy may have a role in this context. To determine if prostate heterogeneity (1) correlates with clinical risk factors for prostate cancer and (2) associates with higher-grade tumor in systematic biopsy (SB), compared with MRI-directed target biopsy (MDTB), i.
To determine whether phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor documentation is associated with biochemical relapse-free and overall survival of patients with prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy.
While being in a committed relationship is associated with a better prostate cancer prognosis, little is known about how marital status relates to its incidence. Social support provided by marriage/relationship could promote a healthy lifestyle and an increased healthcare seeking behavior.
