The presence of a cribriform pattern is now recognized as a clinically important, independent adverse prognostic indicator for prostate cancer. For this reason the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) recently recommended its inclusion in standard reporting.
Photodynamic diagnosis and white-light TURB with adjuvant intravesical chemotherapy (ICT) is widely used in treatment of bladder cancer. This non-inferiority trial is designed to demonstrate non-inferiority regarding recurrence-free survival (RFS) of Hexvix® TURB followed by immediate instillation compared to white-light TURB with immediate instillation followed by maintenance ICT.
The goals of transurethral resection of a bladder tumor (TUR) are to completely resect the lesions and to make a correct diagnosis in order to adequately stage the patient. It is well known that the presence of detrusor muscle in the specimen is a prerequisite to minimize the risk of under staging.
ASCO Perspective “This study lends weight to the importance of discussions between doctors and individual patients about the risks and benefits of PSA screening. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach, particularly for patients at higher risk of prostate cancer, such as African American men. This observational study shows us that screening may be useful even […]
ASCO Perspective “This study shows that states with expanded Medicaid income eligibility limits have improved cancer survival rates, consistent across cancer type and stage. Health insurance coverage is associated with improved access to cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, allowing us better opportunities to provide the right care to the right patient at the right time,” […]
Alicia Morgans: Hi, my name is Alicia Morgans and I’m a GU Medical Oncologist and Associate Professor of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago in the United States. I’m so excited to have here with me today, Dr. Ewan Gibb, who is a Senior Scientist and the Bladder Cancer Lead at Decipher Biosciences in Vancouver, […]
This article provides you with a sneak peek of some of the in-demand courses organised by the European School of Urology (ESU) for the EAU21 congress. These ESU courses cover a myriad of topics: from prostate cancer, female urology to trauma, to name a few. View the list of topics and explore the ESU courses via […]
The role of urodynamic study in the diagnosis and prognostication of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is still controversial. This study evaluated the correlation of the baseline voiding dysfunctions and long-term treatment outcome in patients with non-Hunner’s ulcer IC (NHIC).
Chronic pelvic pain with various etiologies and mechanisms affects men and women and is a major challenge. Monotherapy is often unsuccessful for chronic pelvic pain, and combinations of different classes of medications are frequently prescribed, with the expectation of improved outcomes.
The international Intermediate Clinical Endpoints in Cancer of the Prostate working group has established metastasis-free survival as a surrogate for overall survival in localised prostate cancer based on the findings of 19 predominantly radiotherapy-based trials.
