Early treatment of patients at risk for developing aggressive prostate cancer is able to delay metastasis and reduce mortality; as such, up-front identification of these patients is critical. Several risk classification systems, including CAPRA-S, are currently used for disease prognostication.
Dissemination of misinformation through social media is a major societal issue. Bladder cancer is the second most common urological cancer in the world, but there are limited data on the quality of bladder cancer information on social networks.
To evaluate our experience with radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The study consisted of 27 patients treated with cisplatin-based chemoradiation (CCRT), 48 treated with radiation alone (RT), and 42 with locally advanced disease treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation (neoCRT).
There is an underutilization of potentially curative treatments for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Contemporary trimodality bladder-preservation therapy – which includes a maximally safe transurethral resection of the bladder tumor followed by concurrent chemoradiation and close cystoscopic surveillance with salvage cystectomy reserved for invasive tumor recurrence – can help fulfill this unmet need.
Atezolizumab (ATZ) has demonstrated antitumor activity and manageable safety in previous studies in patients with locally advanced or metastatic platinum-resistant urothelial carcinoma. To compare the real-life experience and data of clinical trials on ATZ treatment in metastatic urothelial carcinoma.
The tumults of 2020 have put racial disparities front and center for the nation at large and health disparities are now viewed with increasing intensity, if not clarity. Prostate cancer patients and the treating community have struggled with the question of racial disparities in outcome for some time, and recent events bring this closer to […]
The aim of the present study was to compare the survival outcomes for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) who underwent laparoscopic cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) vs. open CN vs. targeted therapy (TT) alone at our institution.
Prostate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has become a popular initial investigation of an elevated PSA and is being incorporated into active surveillance protocols. Decisions on prostate cancer investigation and management based solely on a normal mpMRI remains controversial.
Some patients who undergo robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) continue to experience long-term urinary incontinence (UI). This study aimed to evaluate easily obtainable factors that can predict long-term UI following RARP.
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are suggested to be at increased risk of urolithiasis, but the magnitude of risk and the impact of medical and surgical treatment on this risk remain unknown.
