Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, accounting for 15% of all diagnosed cancers and is the sixth leading cause of cancerrelated deaths amongst men worldwide. Abiraterone and enzalutamide were the first two novel hormonal agents approved for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer but there is a lack of quality evidence regarding […]
Androgens facilitate entrance of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 into respiratory epithelial cells, and male sex is associated with a higher risk of death from corona virus disease (COVID-19).
Rare tumours such as penile carcinoma have been largely neglected by the urology scientific community in favour of more common – and, therefore, more easily fundable – diseases. Nevertheless, penile cancer represents a rising burden for health-care systems around the world, because a lack of widespread expertise, ineffective centralization of care and absence of research […]
To test the efficacy and safety profile of robotic radical nephroureterectomy compared to the open approach. We enrolled 45 consecutive patients who suffered from non-metastatic, upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma from September 2019 to March 2021 and underwent radical nephroureterectomy.
A recent phase 3 trial of intravesical nadofaragene firadenovec reported a promising complete response rate for patients with bacillus Calmette-Guérin-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
To identify protective and risk factors of early postoperative complications after robot-assisted radical cystectomy for urothelial bladder carcinoma. Data of all robot-assisted cystectomy performed in six french centers between February 2010 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.
Objective: To explore the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic microwave ablation combined with partial nephrectomy in the treatment of renal tumors. Methods: The 65 patients with renal tumors undergoing laparoscopic microwave ablation combined with partial nephrectomy from November 2017 to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common problem among older adults. This study investigated the prevalence of UI in nursing home residents aged ≥75 years in China and examined potential risk factors associated with UI and its subtypes.
To determine the usefulness of mid-urethral slings (MUS) in the surgical management of women presenting with urinary stress incontinence (USI) METHOD: A consensus committee of multidisciplinary experts (CUROPF) was convened and focused on PICO questions concerning the efficacy and safety of MUS surgery compared to other procedures and concerning which approach (retropubic (RP) vs transobturator […]
To improve women’s experiences with mesh mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgery for treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), we sought to qualitatively examine patient perspectives of MUS surgery, organize resulting patient-derived themes, and present our findings as potential springboards for future research and quality improvement efforts.
