US guidelines recommend that physicians engage in shared decision-making with men considering prostate cancer screening.To estimate the association of decision aids decisional outcomes screening.MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched from inception through June 19, 2018.Randomized trials comparing for screening usual care.Independent duplicate assessment eligibility risk bias, rating quality aids, random-effects meta-analysis, Grading Recommendations,...
Abstract BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in clinical and pathologic characteristics prostate cancer patients who underwent surgery at a large tertiary care center the context increased use active surveillance (AS) minimally invasive (MIS). METHODS: authors retrospectively reviewed 6624 with localized radical prostatectomy from 2000 2010 Memorial Sloan‐Kettering Cancer Center. Patients were stratified by surgical approach (open, laparoscopic, or robotic) risk...
To attempt to quantitate the carbon footprint of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) through approximated scope 1 3 CO(2) emissions identify its potential role in global warming.To estimate national usage, we determined number inpatient and outpatient MIS procedures using International Classification Diseases, ninth revision-clinical modification codes for all a 2009 sample collected databases. Need was considered essential, therefore traditional open used as comparator. Scope (direct)...
Introduction: Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) is a procedure of significant therapeutic and diagnostic value in the management testicular cancer. This study aimed to conduct contemporary review surgical outcomes following RPLND procedures performed North America over last decade. Methods: We queried National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database from 20122022 (n=9 857 040) identify patients who underwent were diagnosed with The primary outcome was 30-day...
We compared renal function and oncologic outcomes of parenchymal sparing ureteral resection with radical nephroureterectomy for the treatment upper tract urothelial carcinoma confined to ureter.Review a large institutional database identified 367 patients treated primary or from 1994 2009. Patients known pelvis tumors, muscle invasive carcinoma, prior cystectomy, contralateral metastatic disease chemotherapy were excluded, leaving 120 analysis. Estimated glomerular filtration rate was...
Published outcomes of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) demonstrate significant variability. The purpose the study was to compare PLND in patients at risk for involvement (LNI) who were undergoing radical (RP) by different surgeons and surgical approaches.Institutional policy initiated on January 1, 2010, mandated that all RP receive a standardized with inclusion hypogastric region when predicted LNI ≥ 2%. We analyzed consecutive...
Testicular lymphoma is a rare and deadly disease representing 1% to 2% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) approximately 5% testicular neoplasms. Our objective this study was identify the presenting signs symptoms, treatment outcome patients with diagnosed at our institution from 1992 2005, any differences in survival based on Ann Arbor Stage International Prognostic Index (IPI).A retrospective chart review performed demographic characteristics, outcomes. Survival assessed using Kaplan-Meier...
It is well accepted that the aortic plexus a network of pre- and post-ganglionic nerves overlying abdominal aorta, which primarily involved with sympathetic innervation to mesenteric, pelvic urogenital organs. Because comprehensive anatomical description its connections adjacent plexuses are lacking, these delicate structures prone unintended damage during surgeries. Through dissection fresh, frozen human cadavers (n = 7), present study aimed provide first complete mapping ganglia in males....
Antiangiogenic therapies, such as sunitinib, have revolutionized renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treatment. However, a precarious understanding of how resistance emerges and lack tractable experimental systems hinder progress. We evaluated the potential primary RCC cultures (derived from tumors tumor grafts) to signal endothelial cells (EC) fibroblasts in vitro stimulate angiogenesis ex vivo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assays. From 65 patients, 27 cultures, including several patients with...

Background: Scoring systems are a method of risk assessment used to stratify patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and guide systemic therapy. The variables weighed equally when calculating total score. However, the difference even 1 positive predictor can change one's category Objective: To compare relative strength association between predictive overall survival (OS) in mRCC. Methods: A search Medical Literature Analysis Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) Embase was...
The choice of urinary diversion at cystectomy is a life altering decision. Patient decision aids are clinical tools that promote shared making by providing information about management options and helping patients communicate their values. We sought to develop evaluate patient aid for individuals undergoing with diversion.We used the IPDAS (International Decision Aids Standards) guide systematic development process. A literature review was performed determine incidence outcomes. created...
