To provide 12-month unbiased outcomes with The Rezūm System (Rezūm), a convective water vapor thermal therapy for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Finasteride (FND) is a competitive inhibitor of 5α-reductase, an enzyme involved in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and androgenic alopecia. FND is administered in oral, often lifelong treatments, increasing the pill burden of polymedicated patients.
The incidence of many hormone-dependent diseases, including testicular cancer, have sharply increased in all high-income countries during the 20th century. This is not fully explained by established risk factors.
Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are the most common solid tumors affecting men between ages of 20 and 34 years. Most of the cases, even in advanced disease, will have good prognosis. However, around 20-30% of advanced disease will be refractory or develop relapse after treatment.
To test the value of preoperative and postoperative cystatin C (CysC) as a predictor on kidney function after partial (PN) or radical nephrectomy (RN) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients with normal preoperative renal function.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a very aggressive and often fatal heterogeneous disease that is usually asymptomatic until late in the disease. There is an urgent need for RCC specific biomarkers that may be exploited clinically for diagnostic and prognostic purposes.
The association of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) with insurance status and cancer stage at diagnosis among patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is unknown. To test the hypothesis that the ACA may be associated with increased access to care through expansion of insurance, which may vary based on income.
Major changes in the field of prostate cancer over the last 25 years include the implementation of prostate specific antigen screening and the recognition that BRCA confers hereditary risk of prostate cancer.
There is growing evidence that the microbiome is involved in development and treatment of many human diseases, including prostate cancer. There are several potential pathways for microbiome-based mechanisms for the development of prostate cancer: direct impacts of microbes or microbial products in the prostate or the urine, and indirect impacts from microbes or microbial products […]
Purpose of the study: To report the safety evaluation of 177Lu-PSMA-617 derived from the cohort of 64 patients exposed to 177Lu-PSMA-617 in the RESIST-PC trial NCT03042312 Methods: RESIST-PC was a prospective multicenter phase 2 trial.
