Active surveillance (AS) is an option for the initial management of early-stage prostate cancer. Current risk stratification schema identify patients with low-risk disease who are presumed to be most suitable AS. However, some men higher also elect AS; outcomes such have not been widely reported.Men managed AS at University California, San Francisco, were classified as low- or intermediate-risk based on serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA), Gleason grade, extent biopsy involvement, and T...
Purpose: To compare the outcomes of robotic radical nephroureterectomy (RRNU) and laparoscopic (LRNU) within a large multi-institutional worldwide dataset. Materials Methods: The ROBotic surgery for Upper tract Urothelial cancer STudy (ROBUUST) includes data from 17 centers regarding 877 RRNU LRNU performed between 2015 2019. Baseline features, perioperative oncologic outcomes, were included. A 2:1 nearest-neighbor propensity-score matching with 0.001 caliper was performed. univariable...

Abstract BACKGROUND: In the current study, authors propose quantitative Gleason score (qGS), a modification of grading system for prostate cancer, based on weighted average patterns present in pathology specimen. They hypothesize that qGS can improve cancer risk stratification and help prevent overtreatment patients with clinically indolent tumors. METHODS: The was applied to University California San Francisco urologic oncology database tumors determined have GS 7 biopsy or final after...
At our institution the eligibility criteria used to enroll patients in active surveillance are clinical stage T1, prostate specific antigen density less than 0.15 ng/ml, biopsy Gleason score 6 or less, 2 fewer positive cores and 50% involvement of any core. We hypothesized that these may be excessively strict, precluding many men from surveillance.We studied pathological outcomes treated with radical prostatectomy between 1995 2012 who met 4 more 5 criteria. Outcomes included a definition...
Intravesical recurrence (IVR) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) has an incidence of approximately 20%-50%. Studies to date have been composed mixed treatment cohorts-open, laparoscopic and robotic. The objective this study is assess clinicopathological risk factors intravesical RNU UTUC in a completely minimally invasive cohort.We performed multicenter, retrospective analysis 485 patients with without prior or concurrent bladder cancer who...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Recent data have suggested that clinical T stage is not independently associated with biochemical recurrence of localized prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. One explanation for this lack predictive power may be the inaccurate application staging criteria. METHODS: Data from men in Cancer Prostate Strategic Urologic Research Endeavor (CaPSURE) database (clinical T1‐T2) were analyzed. Correct was determined by digital rectal examination (DRE) and transrectal...

Clinical staging criteria for prostate cancer were established before the advent of widespread specific antigen screening and extended biopsy templates. However, clinical stage remains commonly used in modern era to predict outcomes. We hypothesize that context data available from a contemporary biopsy, no longer offers meaningful independent prognostic information clinically localized cancer.We performed an analysis men CaPSURE database with (clinical T1 or T2) who underwent radical...
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) (OMIM %193000), a common cause of childhood renal failure, is strongly influenced by hereditary factors. Familial VUR most closely conforms to autosomal-dominant inheritance, but because variable penetrance and expressivity, large multigenerational pedigrees tractable linkage analysis have been difficult ascertain. A single genome-wide study familial has demonstrated chromosome 1p13, with 78% locus heterogeneity. Previous studies in humans also suggested loci on...
Primary vesicoureteral reflux (pVUR) is one of the most common causes pediatric kidney failure. Linkage scans suggest that pVUR genetically heterogeneous with two loci on chromosomes 1p13 and 2q37 under autosomal dominant inheritance. Absence in parents affected individuals raises possibility a recessive contribution to pVUR. We performed genome-wide linkage scan 12 large families segregating pVUR, comprising 72 individuals. To avoid potential misspecification trait locus, we parametric...
