<ns4:p>Advanced prostate cancer includes a wide spectrum of disease ranging from hormone naïve or sensitive to castration resistant, both containing populations men who have demonstrable metastatic and non-metastatic states. The mainstay treatment for hormone-sensitive is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). However, recent level 1 evidence demonstrates that the addition chemotherapy abiraterone acetate ADT results in significant survival advantage as compared with alone. Furthermore,...
We applied nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer AUA (American Urological Association)/SUO (Society of Urologic Oncology) guidelines for risk stratification and analyzed predictors recurrence progression.We retrospectively reviewed the records 398 patients with treated between 2001 2017. Descriptive statistics were used to compare AUA/SUO groups. Predictors progression determined by multivariable regression. Kaplan-Meier analysis was done, a Cox proportional hazards regression model created time...
Abstract Purpose Despite the growing adoption of HIFU treatment for localized prostate cancer (PC), standardized criteria evaluating success and predicting recurrence remain undefined. Herein, we analyze predictive value noninvasive tools such as PSA dynamics MRI to determine recurrence. Methods We identified from our therapy prospective registry patients who developed biopsy-proven recurrence, between 2016 2023. Clinically significant (CS-R) was defined presence GG 2 or greater on control...
We designed a prospective randomized, controlled pilot trial to investigate the effects of an enriched oral nutrition supplement on body composition and clinical outcomes following radical cystectomy.A total 61 patients were randomized or multivitamin multimineral twice daily during 8-week perioperative period. Body was determined by analyzing abdominal computerized tomography images at L3 vertebra. Sarcopenia defined as skeletal muscle index less than 55 cm/m in males 39 females. The...

A new coil-based metallic ureteral stent offers greater radial strength with longer indwelling time compared plastic stents. This multicenter retrospective study reviews the clinical experience this for malignant or benign chronic obstruction.Patients had placement in a retrograde fashion. We analyzed preplacement and postplacement renal imaging to determine degree of hydronephrosis. Stent encrustation was determined by either visual inspection at change plain abdominal radiography....
There are growing concerns regarding the overtreatment of localized prostate cancer. It is also relatively unknown whether there has been increased uptake observational strategies for disease management. We assessed temporal trend in observation clinically cancer, particularly men with low risk disease, who were young and healthy enough to undergo treatment.We performed a retrospective cohort study using SEER-Medicare database 66,499 cancer between 2004 2009. The main outcome was within 1...
To compare survival outcome between chemoradiation therapy (CRT) and radical cystectomy (RC) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with MIBC (≥cT2, N0, M0) in the National Cancer Database (2004-2013). CRT was defined as radiation dose ≥40 Gy chemotherapy within 90 days radiation. Descriptive statistics were used to groups. RC propensity matched. Kaplan-Meier overall (OS). Multivariable Cox regression determine predictors survival.In all,...
Objectives To evaluate the performance of mpMRI and 4Kscore test together for detection significant prostate cancer. Material methods We selected a consecutive series men who were referred evaluation cancer at an academic institution underwent test. The primary outcome was presence Gleason 7 or higher on biopsy prostate. used logistic regression Decision Curve Analysis to report discrimination clinical utility using detection. modeled probability harboring based findings. Finally, we...
What's known on the subject? and What does study add? It is that men of African descent in USA Jamaica have both a higher incidence prostate cancer mortality than Caucasian men, but it unclear whether they worse pathological biochemical recurrence (BCR) outcome their counterparts after radical prostatectomy (RP) for cancer. We found African‐American (AA) present at younger age mean PSA level Caucasian‐American (CA) Afro‐Caribbean (AC; Jamaican) with highest level, Gleason score tumour stage...
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine tobacco use knowledge and attribution cause in patients with newly diagnosed bladder cancer. METHODS A stratified, random sample cancer survivors between 2006 2009 obtained from the California Cancer Registry. Respondents were surveyed about use, risk factors, sources information on causes Contingency tables logistic regression analyses used evaluate beliefs. RESULTS Of 1198 eligible participants, 790 (66%) completed survey. Sixty‐eight...
