To evaluate and provide a comprehensive literature review of Prostate specific antigen (PSA) dynamics after various surgical procedures for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A thorough PubMed database search was performed over last 30 years including terms "PSA" and various surgical procedures for BPH.
The role of renal tumor biopsy (RTB) in the management of small renal masses (SRMs) is progressively being recognized as a tool to decrease overtreatment. While an increasing number of studies assessing its role in diagnostics are becoming available, RTB remains variably used amongst urologists.
The CARMENA trial in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) demonstrated that treatment with sunitinib alone was noninferior to cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) followed by sunitinib (nephrectomy-sunitinib).
To compare the clinical outcome of males with low-risk and favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer managed within a standardized modern protocol of active surveillance. This was a prospective cohort study with strict and expanded active surveillance criteria in males with prostate cancer.
Care coordination is a strategy to reduce healthcare navigation challenges for cancer patients. The objectives of this study were to assess the association between having a cancer care coordinator (CCC) and long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and to evaluate whether this association differed by level of health literacy.
We examined prostate cancer patients’ participation in research and associated factors by race/ethnicity in a multiethnic sample. Men with a new diagnosis of prostate cancer were identified through the California Cancer Registry.
GSTP1 is a member of the Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) family silenced by CpG island DNA hypermethylation in 90-95% of prostate cancers. However, prostate cancers expressing GSTP1 have not been well characterized.
The Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related Oropharyngeal and Uncommon Cancers Screening Trial of Men (HOUSTON) was designed to determine the prevalence of IgG antibodies to HPV type 16 E proteins (HPV16EAbs), to screen for persistence of HPV and/or detect HPV-related premalignancies and cancers, and to assess acceptance of screening among middle-aged men.
Radical cystectomy (RC) for the management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer remains a morbid procedure with high rates of perioperative complications. The role of pre-operative immuno-nutritional supplementation (Pre-INS) in improving post-RC outcomes is promising and needs further validation.
Tumors in non muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) often occur multifocally, tend to be resistant to chemotherapy, and show a high recurrence rate after their transurethral resection. In a proof-of-concept study for the first time, the T-cell engaging trifunctional antibody CATUMXOMAB was intravesically administered to two patients with recurrent NMIBC. CATUMXOMAB targets the epithelial cell […]
