In recent years, a paradigm shift from single-photon-emitting radionuclide radiotracers toward positron-emission tomography (PET) radiotracers has occurred in nuclear oncology. Although PET-based molecular imaging of the kidneys is still in its infancy, such a trend has emerged in the field of functional renal radionuclide imaging.
Historically, open techniques have been favored over minimally invasive approaches for complex surgeries. We aimed to identify differences in perioperative outcomes, surgical footprints, and complication rates in patients undergoing either open or robotic reoperative partial nephrectomies (RePN).
Prostate cancers are considered to be immunologically ‘cold’ tumors given the very few patients who respond to checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy. Recently, enrichment of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) predicted a favorable response to CPI across various disease sites.
To determine if benign glandular tissue at the surgical margin (BGM) is associated with detectable PSA and/or biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP). Participants underwent RP for localized prostate cancer between 2004 and 2018.
The phase III PROSELICA (NCT01308580) and FIRSTANA (NCT01308567) trials investigated taxane chemotherapy among men with post-docetaxel metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) or chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC, respectively.
To determine the capability of Gadolinium-free arterial spin labelling (ASL) sequences as novel, contrast-free, non-invasive alternative perfusion imaging method to differentiate prostate cancer (PCA) from benign prostate tissue compared to conventional DCE MRI.
For men with radiation-managed prostate cancer, there is conflicting evidence regarding the association between androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and cardiovascular mortality (CVM), particularly among those who have with preexisting comorbidities.
Penile metastasization is an uncommon condition, mostly derived from primitive advanced abdominal cancers, with disabling symptoms. Palliative treatment, in reason of poor prognosis patients, is frequently surgical with destructive management.
The antibody-drug conjugate enfortumab-vedotin acts by targeting nectin-4, a protein that is nearly ubiquitously expressed in conventional urothelial cancer. However, expression of nectin-4 in morphologic variants of urothelial carcinoma and nonurothelial histotypes was unknown.
Atezolizumab is an anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor recommended for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) after prior platinum-containing chemotherapy, regardless of PD-L1 status, among other treatment settings.
