To externally validate the currently available nomograms for predicting lymph node invasion (LNI) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) and to assess potential risk of complications extended pelvic dissection (ePLND) when using recommended threshold.A total 14 921 patients, who underwent radical prostatectomy ePLND at eight European tertiary referral centres, were retrospectively identified. After exclusion incomplete biopsy or pathological data, 12 009 included. Of these, 609 had undergone...
Abstract Objectives To build a machine learning (ML) model to detect extraprostatic extension (EPE) of prostate cancer (PCa), based on radiomics features extracted from MRI index lesions. Methods Consecutive exams patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for PCa were retrospectively collected three institutions. Axial T2-weighted and apparent diffusion coefficient map images annotated obtain lesion volumes interest feature extraction. Data one institution was used training, selection (using...
To assess the outcomes of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) transperineal targeted fusion biopsy (TPFBx) under local anaesthesia.We prospectively screened 1327 patients with a positive mpMRI undergoing TPFBx (targeted cores and systematic cores) anaesthesia, at two tertiary referral institutions, between September 2016 May 2019, for inclusion in present study. Primary were detection clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) defined as (1) International Society...

Abstract Objective To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of PI-RADS v2.1 multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) features in predicting extraprostatic extension (mEPE) prostate cancer (PCa), as well to develop and validate a comprehensive mpMRI-derived score (mEPE-score). Methods We retrospectively reviewed all consecutive patients admitted two institutions for radical prostatectomy PCa with available records mpMRI performed between January 2015 December 2020. Data from one...
The preservation of the bladder neck during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) could improve urinary continence recovery and limit risk positive surgical margins (PSMs). We refined our lateral approach to technique compared its outcomes with those standard anterior approach. From a retrospective analysis 599 consecutive RARPs, 171 patients treated were pair-matched 1:1 on basis age, grade, pathological stage. described two approaches in terms basal PSMs, continence, complications....
When performing targeted biopsy (TBx), the need to add systematic biopsies (SBx) is often debated. Aim of study evaluate added value SBx in addition TBx terms prostate cancer (PCa) detection rates (CDR), and test concordance between multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) findings fusion results location.We performed a retrospective, multicentric that gathered data on 1992 consecutive patients who underwent elastic 2011 2020. A standardized approach was used, with (2-4 cores per...
Focal therapy has emerged as an interesting option for localized low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa). Targeted microwave ablation (TMA) is a novel FT modality involving targeted delivery of energy under multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/ultrasound guidance.To describe the step-by-step procedure TMA and report early functional outcomes.This was experimental phase 1-2 trial in 11 patients diagnosed with single, MRI-visible PCa lesion up 12 mm, scored International...
Purpose of review Oligometastatic (om) cancer is considered as a transitional state in between locally confined disease and widespread metastases, accessible to multimodal treatment, combining systemic local therapy. In urothelial bladder (BCa), the definitions approaches this condition are poorly standardised mainly based on retrospective data. We aim portray framework for uro-oncologic terminology omBCa go through latest evidence future perspectives. Recent findings Retrospective registry...

Currently, the majority of prostate cancer (PCa) recurrences after non-surgical first-line treatment are managed with androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). Salvage radical prostatectomy (sRP) is a curative alternative to ADT but yields significant morbidity. Preliminary evidence from focal salvage treatments shows similar oncological control lower morbidity compared sRP. Among available ablative energies, irreversible electroporation (IRE) modality that proved promising, especially in treating...
