Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now recommended before performing prostate biopsies, looking for suspicious lesions to perform targeted biopsies (TB). However, the association or exclusive performance of systematic biopsies (SB), criticized for its morbidity and for the detection of insignificant cancers, remains debated.
To examine the associations between ethnicity and outcomes after radical prostatectomy (RP) among Hispanics. While non-Hispanic Black men have worse prostate cancer (PC) outcomes, there is limited data on outcomes of Hispanic men, especially after RP.
Prostate cancer represents one of the most common forms of cancer affecting men across the globe. Due to late diagnosis of this disease, the mortality of this condition is very high. Conventional diagnostic methods like the direct rectal examination are uncomfortable and, in most cases, delayed, and further confirmation is required with biopsies and Gleason […]
Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor with bone metastasis, and there is still no ideal treatment for bone metastasis of prostate cancer. In this study, a pH and GSH dual sensitive calcium phosphate-polymer hybrid nanoparticle (DTX@Cap/HP) was prepared to co-deliver zoledronate (ZOL) and docetaxel (DTX) to treat bone metastasis of prostate cancer.
It is unknown, whether metastatic prostate cancer (CaP) patients with intermediate life expectancy (5-10 years) should be considered for external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to the prostate. We addressed this void.
During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, providers and patients must engage in shared decision making to ensure that the benefit of early intervention for muscle-invasive bladder cancer exceeds the risk of contracting COVID-19 in the clinical setting.
While survival outcomes of locally advanced bladder cancer patients undergoing radical cystectomy are known to be poor, less is known regarding patient-reported outcomes and predictive features for survival in this patient subgroup.
Cisplatin based chemoradiation has been commonly used as a definitive treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The aim of the current study is to evaluate oncologic results and toxicity profile of bladder-sparing treatment with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and gemcitabine chemotherapy (ChT) in patients with MIBC.
The Albumin-Globulin Ratio (AGR; albumin/total protein - albumin) has been associated with oncological outcome in various malignancies. However, its role in urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) has not been clearly established.
Currently, markers are lacking that can identify high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) patients who fail BCG-treatment. Therefore, we evaluated the prognostic value of T1-substaging in primary HR-NMIBC.
