Older adults are at greater risk of cognitive decline with various oncologic therapies. Some commonly used therapies for advanced prostate cancer, such as enzalutamide, have been linked to cognitive impairment, but published data are scarce, come from single-group studies, or focus on self-reported cognition.
To assess the feasibility and uptake of a community based prostate cancer (PrCa) screening programme selecting men according to their genetic risk of PrCa. To assess the uptake of PrCa screening investigations by men invited for screening.
Myelosuppression is a potential dose-limiting factor in radioligand therapy (RLT). This study aims to investigate occurrence, severity and reversibility of hematotoxic adverse events in patients undergoing RLT with 177Lu-PSMA-617 for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
The conventional imaging flowchart for prostate cancer (PCa) staging may fail in correctly detecting lymph node metastases (LNM). Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) represents the only reliable method, although invasive.
Biochemical recurrence (BCR) is a clinical challenge in prostate cancer (PCa) patients as recurrence localization guides subsequent therapies. The use of positron emission tomography (PET) with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) presents better accuracy than standard imaging practice.
To evaluate the performance of non-erectile MRI in staging and preoperative evaluation of penile carcinomas, compared to postoperative histopathology. In this retrospective study, MRI scans of patients who had undergone surgery for penile carcinoma (n = 54) between January 2012 and April 2018 were read by two radiologists; and disagreement was solved in the presence of a third experienced […]
Metastasis-directed radiation therapy (MDRT) may improve oncologic and quality of life outcomes in patients with metastatic cancer, but data on its use in metastatic bladder cancer is severely limited.
To perform an external validation of this RC-pentafecta. Between January 2014 and December 2019, 104 consecutive patients who underwent RARC with ICUD within 6 urological centers were analyzed retrospectively.
Vaginal prolapse mesh may effectively restore vaginal anatomy. The aim of this study was to investigate how the in vivo mesh position correlates to clinical outcomes. Seventy-one women operated on using Uphold mesh for apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP-Q, C ≥ stage II) were examined 5 years after surgery by introital-perineal 2D ultrasound in a midsagittal plane […]
To assess the prevalence and risk factors of male AUS mechanical failures and non-mechanical failures. The charts of all male patients who underwent AUS implantation between 2004 and 2020 in 16 centres were retrospectively reviewed.
