We examined the effect of radical nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy and radio frequency ablation on renal function in patients with stage T1a masses.A total 242 consecutive from July 1995 to March 2005 undergoing primary treatment for unilateral masses smaller than 4 cm a normal contralateral kidney were identified. Renal was calculated using modified Modification Diet Disease equation. The rate decrease glomerular filtration below 60 ml per minute 1.73 m2 compared among 3 modalities.A 86, 85...
We evaluated the incidence of infectious complications requiring hospitalization after transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy, comparing an augmented regimen antibiotic prophylaxis to standard regimen, and established cost-effectiveness at our center.Our consisted 3 days ciprofloxacin or Bactrim™ DS in perioperative period. An increase hospital admissions related infection biopsy from January 2010 through December led us initiate Bactrim addition 1 dose intramuscular gentamicin before...
We examined the incidence, characteristics and treatment of patients with tumor bed recurrence after partial nephrectomy.We retrospectively reviewed charts 2,256 sporadic small renal masses treated nephrectomy between 2000 2014. Local was strictly defined as detection a new enhancing lesion 1) specifically in surgical defect or 2) same region (eg lower pole) site. To determine differences multiple 44 (1.9%) local were compared to 163 randomly selected who underwent no recurrence.Patients...
Objective: To evaluate temporal trends in clinicopathological features and oncological outcomes after radical nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Methods: Utilizing a multi‐institutional database of patients treated with between 1983 2007, we compared survival over the past three decades using following cohorts: group 1 comprised before 1990s ( n = 106), 2 from 1990 to1999 655), 3 2000 to 2007 701). Survival rates were Kaplan−Meier analysis. Results: The study included...
Isolated local retroperitoneal recurrence after radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma poses a therapeutic challenge. We investigated outcomes in patients with localized treated surgical resection.
Study Type – Diagnostic (cost effectiveness analysis) Level of Evidence 3a What's known on the subject? and What does study add? Multiple studies have shown an increase in hospital admission rates due to infectious complications after transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)‐guided prostate biopsy (TRUSBx), mostly related a rise prevalence fluoroquinolone‐resistant organisms. As result, multiple series advocated use more intensive prophylactic antibiotic regimens augment effect widely used...
We present patient reported outcomes from our 5-year experience using penile plication to correct a wide variety of Peyronie disease malformations.We reviewed the records all men who underwent for disease, as performed by one us (AFM). All patients were treated with tunical without degloving via 2 cm longitudinal incision regardless curvature severity or erectile function. A concomitant inflatable prosthesis was placed in refractory dysfunction. questionnaire administered assess perception...
Background Testicular germ cell tumors (T-GCTs) occur from infancy to adulthood, and are the most common solid tumor in adolescent young adult males. Traditionally, pediatric T-GCTs were perceived as more indolent than T-GCTs. However, there few studies comparing these groups none that specifically evaluate adolescents. Methods An institutional database of T-GCT patients was reviewed categorized into Pediatric, aged 0–12 years, Adolescent, 13–19 Adult, older 20 cohorts. Demographics,...
630 Background: Adenocarcinomas of the urinary tract, including urachal (UA) and non-urachal (NUA) subtypes, are rare tumors. Triplet regimens combining gemcitabine, a taxane or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (L), cisplatin (P), have been developed. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records patients receiving frontline (1L)GemFLP (Gemcitabine 200 mg/m 2 IV on days 1 5; 5-FU 1, 2, 3, 4, L 10mg/m P 20mg/m 5) in advanced UA NUA at MDACC between 2003 2023. Advanced disease is defined as...
We initiated a biomarker-informed preoperative study of infigratinib, fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitor, in patients with localized upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), population high unmet needs and tumor frequency FGFR3 alterations.
Endoscopic management (EM) is an increasingly accepted option for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Feasibility can be dependent on a variety of variables. The objective this study was to identify anatomic and phenotypic tumor characteristics that affect EM, using structured expert forecasting, develop obtain consensus assessment score, perform initial validation the score in retrospective database. We used modified Delphi method elicit opinions, scale, gain consensus. Two survey...
Management of metastatic renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid dedifferentiation remains a therapeutic challenge no standard treatment strategies. We evaluated whether metastasectomy has any survival benefit in patients treated radical nephrectomy.From an institutional database 273 nephrectomy we matched 80 synchronous and asynchronous metastases for age, ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status, histology lymph node status. Matched pairs were then retained only if who...
