Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with or without targeted biopsy, is an alternative to standard transrectal ultrasonography-guided biopsy for prostate-cancer detection in men a raised prostate-specific antigen level who have not undergone biopsy. However, comparative evidence limited.In multicenter, randomized, noninferiority trial, we assigned clinical suspicion of prostate cancer had previously undergo MRI, Men the MRI-targeted group underwent (without cores) if MRI was...
To examine the impact of marital status on stage at diagnosis, use definitive therapy, and cancer-specific mortality among each 10 leading causes cancer-related death in United States.We used Surveillance, Epidemiology End Results program to identify 1,260,898 patients diagnosed 2004 through 2008 with lung, colorectal, breast, pancreatic, prostate, liver/intrahepatic bile duct, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, head/neck, ovarian, or esophageal cancer. We multivariable logistic Cox regression analyze...
Minimally invasive radical prostatectomy (MIRP) has diffused rapidly despite limited data on outcomes and greater costs compared with open retropubic (RRP).To determine the comparative effectiveness of MIRP vs RRP.Population-based observational cohort study using US Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results Medicare linked from 2003 through 2007. We identified men prostate cancer who underwent (n = 1938) RRP 6899).We postoperative 30-day complications, anastomotic stricture 31 to 365 days...
New York City was the international epicenter of COVID-19 pandemic. Health care providers responded by rapidly transitioning from in-person to video consultations. Telemedicine (ie, visits) is a potentially disruptive innovation; however, little known about patient satisfaction with this emerging alternative traditional clinical encounter.This study aimed determine if differs between and visits.In retrospective observational cohort study, we analyzed 38,609 Press Ganey survey outcomes clinic...
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and laparoscopic or robotic minimally invasive radical prostatectomy (MIRP) are costlier alternatives to three-dimensional conformal (3D-CRT) open for treating prostate cancer. We assessed temporal trends in their utilization impact on national health care spending.Using Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results-Medicare linked data, we determined treatment patterns 45,636 men age ≥ 65 years who received definitive surgery localized cancer diagnosed...

BACKGROUND To the authors' knowledge, it remains unknown whether race‐based differences in cancer outcomes have changed with time. In current study, authors assessed racial disparities cancer‐specific mortality improved over last 20 years. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program was used to identify 2,713,474 patients diagnosed between 1988 2007 either lung, breast, prostate, or colorectal (the leading 3 causes of cancer‐related among each sex). After exclusions,...
Given the lack of randomized trials comparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and open (ORP), we sought to re-examine outcomes these techniques using a cohort patients treated in postdissemination era.Overall, data from 5,915 with prostate cancer RARP or ORP within SEER-Medicare linked database diagnosed between October 2008 December 2009 were abstracted. Postoperative complications, blood transfusions, prolonged length stay (pLOS), readmission, additional therapies, costs care...
To examine the effect of hospital and surgeon volume on postoperative outcomes to determine whether or is stronger predictor.Using 1997 1998 claims data from a national 5% random sample Medicare beneficiaries, we identified 2,292 men who underwent radical prostatectomy at 1,210 hospitals by 1,788 surgeons. Hospitals were classified as high (> = 60 per year) low (< according experience over 2-year period. Surgeons 40 volume. Multivariate logistic regression was performed control for patient...
While it remains controversial whether LRP or da Vinci RAP offers any advantages over radical retropubic prostatectomy, and are being used more frequently. We reviewed our experience with these minimally invasive techniques.We intraoperative early postoperative complications of 358 LRPs performed from October 2000 to January 2003 those 322 RAPs June 2004. The transperitoneal approach bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection was using each technique. Data acquisition done independently the 3...
Demand for minimally invasive radical prostatectomy (MIRP) to treat prostate cancer is increasing; however, outcomes remain unclear. We assessed utilization, complications, lengths of stay, and salvage therapy rates MIRP versus open whether surgeon volume associated with better outcomes.We identified 2,702 men undergoing during 2003 2005 from a national 5% sample Medicare beneficiaries. the association between surgical approach outcomes, adjusting volume, age, race, comorbidity, geographic...

Given the costs of delivering care for men with prostate cancer remain poorly described, this article reports results time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) competing treatments low-risk cancer. Process maps were developed each phase from initial urologic visit through 12 years follow-up robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), cryotherapy, high-dose rate (HDR) and low-dose (LDR) brachytherapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic body (SBRT), active...
Purpose Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) may contribute to depression, yet several studies have not demonstrated a link. We aimed determine whether receipt of any ADT or longer duration for prostate cancer (PCa) is associated with an increased risk depression. Methods identified 78,552 men older than age 65 years stage I III PCa using the SEER-Medicare–linked database from 1992 2006, excluding patients psychiatric diagnoses within prior year. Our primary analysis was association between...
Purpose Although demographic, clinicopathologic, and socioeconomic differences may affect treatment outcomes of prostate cancer, the effect mental health disorders remains unclear. We assessed previously diagnosed depression on men with newly cancer. Patients Methods performed a population-based observational cohort study using Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results-Medicare linked data 41,275 clinically localized cancer from 2004 to 2007. identified 1,894 depressive disorder in 2 years...
