Decision aids (DAs) can improve knowledge for prostate cancer treatment. However, the relative effects of DAs delivered within the clinical encounter and in more diverse patient populations are unknown.
Despite higher risks associated with prostate cancer, young African American men are poorly represented in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) trials, which limits proper evidence-based guidance. We evaluated the impact of PSA screening, alongside primary care provider utilization, on prostate cancer outcomes for these patients.
Randomized clinical trials demonstrated improved overall survival in chemotherapy exposed metastatic prostate cancer patients. However, real-world data validating this effect with large scale epidemiological data sets are scarce and might not agree with trials.
The introduction of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) has improved almost every aspect of the prostate cancer diagnostic pathway. However, the novel imaging technique, prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) may have demonstrable accuracy in detecting and staging prostate cancer.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a significant etiologic driver of penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC). The integration pattern of HPV and its carcinogenic mechanism in PSCC remain largely unclear. We retrospectively reviewed 108 PSCC cases who received surgery between 2008 and 2017.
High-risk muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) has a poor prognosis. Old trials showed that external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) after radical cystectomy (RC) decreases the incidence of local recurrences but induces severe toxicity.
This study aimed to examine the prognostic significance of preoperative inflammation-associated blood cell markers in the metachronous contralateral recurrence of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).
In a recent phase 3 randomized trial of 700 patients with advanced urothelial cancer (JAVELIN Bladder 100; NCT02603432 ), avelumab/best supportive care (BSC) significantly prolonged overall survival relative to BSC alone as maintenance therapy after first-line chemotherapy.
(UroToday.com) In a plenary session at the Society of Urologic Oncology Annual Meeting focused on early prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Caroline Moore and Dr. Daniel Spratt provided a point/counterpoint debate on the role of focal therapy for localized prostate cancer. Following Dr. Moore’s presentation, Dr. Spratt argued against focal therapy.
(UroToday.com) In a plenary session at the Society of Urologic Oncology Annual Meeting focused on early prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Caroline Moore and Dr. Daniel Spratt provided a point/counterpoint debate on the role of focal therapy for localized prostate cancer. Beginning first, Dr. Moore argued that focal therapy should be considered.
