Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation caused by the larval form of cestode Echinococcus granulosus. Isolated renal involvement quite rare. Surgery mainstay treatment and classically performed through an open approach with kidney-sparing when feasible. The case 33-year-old male patient who underwent laparoscopic unroofing giant hydatid cyst described herein.
No consensus exists on the management of men with nonseminoma and viable nonteratomatous germ cell tumor in postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (pcRPLND) specimen after first-line chemotherapy. We analyzed surveillance versus different adjuvant chemotherapy regimens influence time to pcRPLND oncologic outcomes.Data 117 treated cisplatin-based between 1990 2018 were collected from 13 institutions. All patients had specimen. Surgery was performed a median 57 days, followed...
Current guidelines recommend surveillance in metastatic non-seminomatous germ cell tumour patients treated with first-line-chemotherapy and a complete clinical response (normalisation of serum markers residual masses <1 cm). However, this recommendation is based on series including good prognosis according to International Germ Cell Cancer Cooperative Group prognostic group (IGCCCG-PG). The aim study was analyse the proportion teratoma survival among intermediate/poor IGCCCG-PG after...
Partial nephrectomy is associated with a 1%-2% risk of renal iatrogenic vascular lesion (IVL) that are commonly treated selective angioembolization (SAE). The theoretical advantage SAE preservation parenchyma by targeting only the bleeding portion kidney. Our study aims to assess long-term effect on function, especially this intervention requires potentially nephrotoxic contrast load injection.A retrospective review patients undergoing partial between 2002 and 2018 was performed, who...

Background: Several studies have alluded to a detrimental impact of the surgeon's "learning curve" on outcomes minimally invasive surgery. In this study, we evaluated robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) versus open (OPN) for kidney tumors, during introduction Robotic Urologic Oncology at our institution. Methods: A retrospective review all consecutive nephrectomies (PN), RAPN and OPN, performed American University Beirut Medical Center since inception robotic program in July 2013...

Abstract Introduction The Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) has shown promise in improving the detection of Gleason grade group (GG) 2–5 prostate cancer (PCa) reducing indolent GG1 PCa. However, data on performance PIRADS Black Hispanic men is sparse. We evaluated accuracy scores detecting GG2-5 PCa White, Black, men. Methods performed a multicenter retrospective review biopsy-naïve (n = 108), White 64) who underwent biopsy (PB) following multiparametric MRI. Sensitivity...
Bladder cancer is the sixth most common malignancy in United States and associated with high morbidity mortality rates. To date, no guidelines have been published that clearly establish bladder management recommendations during COVID-19 pandemic. In this short commentary, we strive to outline for treatment of both muscle invasive non-muscle disease based on data from various trials prior studies while taking into account potential lack hospital resources available physicians depending their...
389 Background: Organ confined (stage IA/IB) testicular cancer has a high cure rate regardless of initial treatment modality, making it important to weigh the toxicities against potential benefits. While many clinicians routinely obtain serum tumor markers (STMs) prior radical orchiectomy, their role in predicting recurrence stage IA and IB not been studied. Methods: A multi-institutional database I patients diagnosed between 2006 2018 was created. Univariate multivariate regression models...
Abstract: We present a case of 69-year-old male patient diagnosed with high grade (T 1 HG) urothelial carcinoma the bladder who progressed rapidly towards muscle invasive disease and eventually death despite neoadjuvant chemotherapy radical cystectomy. postulate that this may be due to deleterious underlying somatic gene mutation. Molecular pathologic data obtained on initial, non-muscle tumor final cystectomy specimen, revealed same TP53 mutation (p.Arg110Pro) in both specimens variant...
410 Background: Active surveillance (AS) for stage I germ cell tumor (GCT) typically includes periodic imaging of chest, abdomen and pelvis. Efforts to modify the protocols aim minimize radiation exposure in this young patient population. We report our multi-institutional effort assess effect omitting CT Methods: Using data from three major referral centers GCT (University Southern California, University Toronto, Chicago), all patients with who experienced recurrence on AS were selected....
