Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is integral to detection of prostate cancer (PCa), but conventional apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) cannot capture the complexity of prostate tissues and tends to yield noisy images that do not distinctly highlight cancer.
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radiopharmaceuticals used with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET-CT) are a promising tool for managing patients with prostate cancer. This study aimed to determine the accuracy of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET-CT for detecting tumors in the prostate gland using radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens as a reference method and to determine whether a correlation exists […]
Bladder cancer (BC) is a common malignant tumor in the urinary system with high mortality and recurrence rates. This study sought to identify crucial circular RNAs (circRNAs) associated with BC. The mRNA, miRNA, and circRNA expression profiles of BC were downloaded from GEO database.
Robot-assisted radical cystectomy has steadily gained wider acceptance among urologists compared with open and laparoscopic approaches. Robot-assisted radical cystectomy has shown comparable perioperative and oncologic outcomes compared with open radical cystectomy.
To prove the feasibility of Multimodal Fiber Optic Spectroscopy (MFOS) analysis in bladder cancer (BCa) detection, grading, and staging. Bladder specimens from patients underwent TURBT or TURP were recorded and analyzed with MFOS within 30 min from excision.
(UroToday.com) This study sought to determine the percentage of women with bothersome urinary incontinence (UI) who actually discussed their condition with their primary care provider (PCP). This study also investigated the feasibility of screening for UI in a primary care setting within a tertiary healthcare system.
(UroToday.com) The aim of this study was to evaluate the resident experience in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (FPMRS) procedures between programs and between Urology and Gynecology specialties to assess differences in training. An anonymous survey was sent via email to chief residents graduating from Urology and OB/GYN programs in 2020.
(UroToday.com) Natural supplements are alternative treatments commonly used by patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). But they lack effective research. The aim of this anonymous 40 question online survey, posted to the Interstitial Cystitis Association’s Facebook page, was to better understand the IC/BPS community’s perception of the use of supplements to treat their symptoms.
(UroToday.com) The primary aim of this study was to report the percent of patients completing a voiding diary. A secondary aim was to assess what factors may predict diary completion. This was a prospective cohort study of 93 patients undergoing workup for overactive bladder (OAB).
