At the Canadian Testis Cancer Workshop, the multidisciplinary management of testis cancer care was discussed. The two-day workshop involved urologists, medical and radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, physician’s assistants, residents, fellows, nurses, patients, and patient advocacy group members.
The main goal of this study was to assess the histopathological efficacy of renal mass biopsy and to check the concordance between pathological results and biopsy of the final specimen, as well as interobserver variability in the assessment of biopsy cores.
Introduction: The Pals1-associated tight junction (PATJ) is a Crumbs (CRB) complex component that regulates epithelial cell apico-basal polarity and directional migration. This study assessed PATJ expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) vs.
The impact of paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) on survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is uncertain. This study was conducted to analyze the association of PNS with recurrence and survival of patients with non-metastatic RCC undergoing nephrectomy.
This study proposes optimal tracer-specific threshold-based window levels for PSMA PET-based intraprostatic gross tumour volume (GTV) contouring to reduce interobserver delineation variability. Nine 68Ga-PSMA-11 and nine 18F-PSMA-1007 PET scans including GTV delineations of four expert teams (GTVmanual) and a majority-voted GTV (GTVmajority) were assessed with respect to a registered histopathological GTV (GTVhisto) as the gold […]
Oncologic efficacy of focal therapies in prostate cancer (PCa) depends heavily on accurate tumor size estimation. We aim to evaluate the agreement between radiologic tumor size (RTS) and pathologic tumor size (PTS) and identify predictors of PTS.
For high-risk prostate cancer, standard treatment options include radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiation therapy plus androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). Despite definitive therapy, many patients will have disease recurrence.
To demonstrate the generalizability of PRECISION findings and apply the PRECISION biopsy strategy to a contemporary cohort to characterize cancers missed by employing this strategy. 629 men biopsied between 2/2015-9/2018 met PRECISION inclusion criteria.
Objective: To investigate the HPV DNA prevalence and genotype distribution among penile cancer in China. To identify association between HPV prevalence, different histological subtypes, tumor stage, tumor grade, demographics, comorbidity, and phimosis incidence trend.
Cancer is a leading cause of deaths in the U.S. and across the globe. Cancer screening is an effective preventive measure that can reduce cancer incidence and mortality. While cancer screening is integral to cancer control and prevention, due to the coronavirus outbreak many screenings have either been cancelled or postponed, leaving a vast number […]
