BackgroundObesity and aggressive prostate cancer (PC) may be linked, but how local peri-prostatic fat relates to tumour response following androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is unknown.ObjectiveTo test if volume (PPFV) predicts ADT.Design, setting, participantsWe performed a retrospective study on consecutive patients receiving primary ADT. From staging pelvic magnetic resonance imaging scans, the PPFV was quantified with OsirixX 6.5 software. Statistical (univariate multivariate) analysis...
To evaluate diagnostic performance of the emotional domain VoiSS questionnaire compared with Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).Cross-sectional study.Tertiary referral centre voice clinic.210 consecutive clinic patients.Screening HADS questionnaires. Paired comparison, correlation, multinomial logistic regression receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.A total 177 returned complete data sets. Ninety-six patients (54.2%) had functional dysphonia, 81 (45.8%) organic...
Objectives: Chest computed tomography (CT) is recommended by the European Association of Urology guidelines as part evaluation patients presenting with renal tumours. There are no direct recommendations for use pelvis, but this often included routinely in assessment metastatic disease. The incidence disease cT1a cell carcinoma (RCC) low. Predictive algorithms may be able to guide selective chest CT pre-operative patients. We sought primarily assess clinical utility these predicting lung and...
To define reference levels for intraoperative radiation during stent insertion, ureteroscopy (URS), and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL); to identify variation in exposure between individual hospitals across the UK, low- high-volume PCNL centres, grade of lead surgeon.In all, 3651 patients were identified retrospectively 12 UK over a 1-year period. Radiation was defined terms total fluoroscopy time (FT) dose area product (DAP). The 75th percentiles median values each hospital used...
Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) is a prognostic, palliative, and potentially therapeutic procedure for patients with malignant phenotype Leydig cell tumours of the testis. We reviewed records diagnosed testis treated by RPLND. Modified template was performed in all cases extra-template excision tumour mass Stage II disease. Routine clinico-radiological follow-up performed. Six open RPLNDs (1 re-do procedure) were on 5 I (n = 3) 2) Median age 63 years (range 55-72)....
Abstract Objectives To evaluate outcomes of patients diagnosed with oncocytic renal neoplasms on routine mass biopsy and to describe the natural history these tumours when managed surveillance as opposed immediate intervention. report disease‐specific survival. Patients methods were identified from a retrospective review pathology databases three tertiary referral centres that utilise in clinical practice. All biopsy‐proven included online patient records was undertaken. Results There 184...
Objective: Circumcision is a commonly performed urological procedure, histology often requested with unexpected malignancy cited as the reason. This paper aims to determine if routine following circumcision alters clinical management of patients. Patients and methods: The records 508 consecutive adult patients circumcised at district general hospital between 1/1/12 31/12/16 were retrospectively reviewed. Two groups available for comparison, those histological diagnosis (359 patients) only...
Abstract Aim Provide insight into the incidence of disease recurrence following a positive margin partial nephrectomy in Renal cancer patients. Allowing analysis current surveillance protocols for early detection recurrence. Method A retrospective review all patients undergoing Partial Nephrectomies (PN) within single centre between 2016 and 2021 was performed. Demographic data including age sex, as well tumour-specific histology, RENAL score, tumour margin, surveillance, recorded. Follow-up...
Abstract Introduction Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the upper urinary tract (localised high-risk disease) is treated with a radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). Evidence shows laparoscopic and robotic-assisted RNU have similar oncological outcomes to open RNU, but improved peri-operative outcomes, namely length stay (LOS) time mitomycin C (MMC) – given reduce bladder recurrence. Standard The European Association Urology (EAU) Guidelines suggest MMC instillation should occur 2-10 days...
