The purpose of this study was to compare the results of tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (TPNL) and standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SPNL) for the management of nephrolithiasis in children.
Robotic technology has gained popularity allowing performance of several complex and difficult reconstructive procedures. This video demonstrates the advantages of the robotic approach for a "keel" bladder neck construction in an obese patient.
Laparoscopic prostatectomy and robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy are common procedure performed for the treatment of localized prostate cancer. Port site and peritoneal seeding is an exceedingly rare but known complications associated with this procedure.
African American (AA) men experience more than twice the prostate cancer mortality as White men yet are under-represented in academic research involving prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a biomarker of prostate cancer aggressiveness.
Prostate MRI has been integrated into the diagnostic work-up for men at risk of having clinically significant cancer in multiple clinical care guidelines. Owing to the low false-negative rate of prostate MRI accompanying a sensitivity averaging 91%, we can reduce biopsies (by 30%) and indolent cancer detection, while maintaining (or even improving) detection of significant […]
Purpose: The potential role of prostatic-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in non-prostate cancer tumors has shown promising results. We examined the performance of dynamic 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT (DPSMA) for the evaluation of localized renal mass.
In the USA, it is unknown whether metastatic prostate cancer incidence has continued to increase and whether racial differences have persisted. Combining multiple imputation with age and delay adjustment, we provide an up-to-date, comprehensive assessment of US prostate cancer incidence trends by stage and race.
Men with favorable-risk prostate cancer (PCa) on active surveillance may benefit from intervention strategies to slow or prevent disease progression and the need for definitive treatment. Pomegranate and its extracts have shown antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects in cell lines and animal models, but its effect on human prostate cancer as a target tissue remain unclear.
In 2016, the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) established criteria to evaluate prediction models for staging. No localized prostate cancer models were endorsed by the Precision Medicine Core committee, and 8th edition staging was based on expert consensus.
Non-adherence to dosing schedules for androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) increases risk of testosterone (T) escape for prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Two approved formulations of leuprolide acetate (LA), the most commonly prescribed ADT in the US, use different extended-release delivery technologies: an in situ gel and microspheres.
