Background: Current cross-sectional imaging modalities exhibit heterogenous diagnostic performances for the detection of a lymph node invasion (LNI) in bladder cancer (BCa) patients. Recently, Node-RADS score was introduced to provide standardized comprehensive evaluation LNI, based on five-item Likert scale accounting both size and configuration criteria. In current study, we hypothesized that accurately predicts LNI tested its performance. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed BCa patients...
Prostate cancer (PCa) management is moving towards patient-tailored strategies. Advances in molecular and genetic profiling of tumor tissues, integrated with clinical risk assessments, provide deeper insights into disease aggressiveness. This study aims to offer a comprehensive overview the pivotal genomic tests supporting PCa treatment decisions, analyzing-through real-world data-trends their use growth literature evidence.
We evaluated the accuracy of detrusor wall thickness and intravesical prostatic protrusion, association each test to diagnose bladder obstruction in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms.We enrolled study 100 consecutive symptoms due benign hyperplasia. Baseline parameters were International Prostate Symptom Score, prostate volume, flow rate, thickness, Schaefer class, minimal urethral opening pressure resistance algorithm outlet index. A ROC curve was produced calculate AUC evaluate...
(I) To determine Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) score 5 accuracy in predicting locally advanced bladder cancer (BCa), so as to potentially identify those patients who could avoid the morbidity of deep transurethral resection tumour (TURBT) favour histological sampling-TUR prior radical cystectomy (RC). (II) explore predictive value VI-RADS on time-to-cystectomy (TTC) outcomes.We retrospectively reviewed patients' ineligible or refusing cisplatin-based combination...
To determine the clinical, pathological, and radiological features, including Vesical Imaging-Reporting Data System (VI-RADS) score, independently correlating with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (BCa), in a multicentric national setting.
To evaluate MRI diagnostic performance in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) peripheral-zone PI-RADS 4 lesions, comparing those with clearly restricted diffusion (DWI-score 4), and equivocal pattern 3) positive dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI.This observational prospective study enrolled 389 men referred to and, if (PI-RADS 3 PSA-density [PSAD] ≥ 0.15 ng/mL/mL, 5), MRI-directed biopsy. Lesions DWI-score DCE were classified as "PI-RADS 3up," instead of 4. Univariable...

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether micro-TESE can improve sperm retrieval rate (SRR) compared conventional single TESE biopsy on same testicle or contralateral multiple TESE, by employing a novel stepwise approach in population poor prognosis patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA).Sixty-four NOA men undergoing surgical testicular for ICSI, from March 2007 April 2013, were included this study. Patients inclusion criteria a) previous unsuccessful b) unfavorable...
Objectives To compare long‐term functional outcomes of off‐clamp or on‐clamp partial nephrectomy patients two high‐volume centers with cT1–2/N0 M0 renal tumors and baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate >60 mL/min. Methods A 3:1 propensity score‐matched analysis was used to select homogeneous cohorts versus nephrectomy. Joinpoint regression the 2–8‐year probabilities modifications in both selected cohorts. The Kaplan–Meier method assessed risk developing a stage ≥3b chronic kidney...
We evaluated possible factors predicting testicular cancer in patients undergoing testis sparing surgery.We retrospectively analyzed the records of all who underwent surgery for a small mass at total 5 centers. All with 1 solitary lesion 2 cm or less on preoperative ultrasound were enrolled study. Testis consisted tumor enucleation frozen section examination. Immediate radical orchiectomy was performed cases malignancy examination but otherwise testes spared. Univariate and multivariate...
Objective To describe the trend in surgical volume urology Italy during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, as a result of abrupt reorganisation Italian national health system to augment care provision symptomatic patients with COVID-19. Methods A total 33 urological units physicians affiliated AGILE consortium (Italian Group for Advanced Laparo-Endoscopic Surgery; www.agilegroup.it) were surveyed. Urologists asked report amount elective procedures week-by-week, from beginning...
