Objective To evaluate predictors of more aggressive disease and the role multiparametric 3.0‐ T magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) in selecting patients with prostate cancer for active surveillance AS ). Patients Methods We retrospectively assessed 298 who met Prostate Cancer Research International: Active Surveillance PRIAS criteria, defined as 1c/ 2, PSA level ≤10 ng/mL, density PSAD <0.2 ng/mL 2 , G leason score <7, one or two positive biopsy cores. All underwent preoperative...
Abstract The World Health Organization/International Society of Urological Pathology (WHO/ISUP) grading renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is classified from grade 1–4, regardless subtype. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines (2022) state that if there an adverse pathological feature, such as 3 or higher RCC in stage 1 patients, more rigorous follow-up imaging recommended. However, the do not provide specific treatment policies by tumor grade. Therefore, this study attempted to...
To investigate the ability of six contemporary active surveillance protocols to appropriately select candidates among Korean men who underwent radical prostatectomy.Between January 2001 and December 2011, 1968 patients prostatectomy for prostate cancer at Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. Patients met criteria according currently used criteria, including those from Johns Hopkins Hospital, University Toronto, California San Francisco, Prospective Prostate Cancer Research International...
Purpose: To evaluate the significance of preoperative and follow-up neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) as prognostic factors for recurrence in patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma (NMCCRCC). Materials Methods:We retrospectively reviewed medical records 309 NMCCRCC who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy.The various clinicopathological variables, NLR (pNLR) PLR (pPLR), at quasi-recurrence (rNLR rPLR) recurrence-free survival (RFS) was...
Summary There has been little data regarding the role of intracavernosal injection ( ICI ) treatment, its discontinuation rate and reasons withdrawal in patients with erectile dysfunction ED era phosphodiesterase type 5 PDE 5) inhibitors. The aim this study was to investigate associated undergoing therapy. Patients who were prescribed treatment two times or more included since introduction sildenafil K orea 1999. Telephone surveys performed evaluate intercourse rates, rates their reasons,...
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) as a prognostic factor in patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma (RCC).Materials and methods Between June 1994 July 2012, 469 RCC underwent radical or partial nephrectomy at two hospitals. Among these patients, 65 non-clear type histology 16 lymph-node distant metastasis were excluded. medical records remaining 388 retrospectively reviewed. mGPS calculated using selective...
Abstract Purpose Penile carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm with largely unknown molecular pathogenesis. Telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter ( TERT- p) mutations have been detected in several types of human malignancies. The aim this study was to investigate the presence p penile squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) and their associations clinicopathologic features. Methods In retrospective study, Sanger sequencing performed detect formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples from 37...
Objectives To analyse actual long‐term medical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH ) and compare the incurred cost with that patients who underwent early surgery. Patients methods were first diagnosed from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2010 identified using Clinical Data Warehouse. Hospital billing data generated by electronic hospital management system collected until 2015. For outpatient care, only procedures, materials drugs directly related selected for analysis. inpatient...
Objectives To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tamsulosin dose increase to 0.4 mg daily in A sian patients with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary benign prostatic hyperplasia refractory 0.2 treatment. Methods We carried out a 12‐week, single‐center, randomized, placebo‐controlled trial 220 patients. Patients treated without other medication for more than 3 months this treatment were enrolled. defined “refractory” as an International Prostate Symptom Score 13 or greater maximum flow...
In patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), sites of involvement have been reported to be associated a difference in survival. However, the frequency and survival according different metastases Korean mRCC remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed assess site association between mRCC.
We investigated the relationship between preoperative uric acid and glomerular filtration rate preoperatively postoperatively in patients with renal cell carcinoma.Included study were 1,534 who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy for carcinoma 1994 2008. Uric was measured preoperatively. The estimated calculated using MDRD (Modification of Diet Renal Disease) equation within 7 days, at 3 months, 1 years. looked correlations rate, patient demographics comorbidities. also evaluated...
Summary In recent reports, an association between altered TRPC channel function and the development of various diabetic complications has drawn attention many investigators. The aim this study was to investigate expression TRPC4 channels corpus smooth muscle (CSM) cells in diabetes, evaluate erectile dysfunction (ED) function. penile tissue human, normal rat investigated using RT‐PCR, western blotting immunohistochemistry (IHC). vivo gene transfer dominant negative (DN) into CSM conducted....
To investigate the treatment pattern of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients among urologists in Japan, Korea and Taiwan, with emphasis on compliance important guidelines.A Web-based questionnaire survey was conceived by representative members each country's urological oncology society open from June 2016 to February 2017 society's members. Descriptive statistics multinomial logistic regression analysis were used.A total 2334 invited 701 responded a response rate 30.0%. Instruments...
SUMMARY: Epidural hematomas occasionally have a prolonged clinical course with gradual evolution of the neurologic symptoms. Seven such cases are reviewed in this report. Although is insidious, there certain features which should signal presence slowly expanding hematoma. After an apparently minor head injury, patient who usually younger age group, develops headache. This persists and accompanied by other non-specific symptoms may lead to mistaken diagnosis “post-concussion syndrome”....
Traditionally, urologists recommend an interval of at least 4 weeks after prostate biopsy before radical prostatectomy. The aim our study was to evaluate whether the from prostatectomy affects immediate operative outcomes, with a focus on differences in surgical approach. population 1,848 patients divided into two groups according approach: open or minimally invasive. Open group included perineal and retropubic approach, invasive laparoscopic robotic cut-off biopsy-to-surgery weeks. Positive...
We aimed to compare the results of long-term use two types metal stent for chronic benign ureteral strictures. Our study included 46 ureter units (UUs) that underwent placement from 2010 2017. strictures causes by variety reasons could not be solved other treatment and malignant obstructions were excluded. Covered mesh (Uventa™) a thermo-expandable (Memokath 051™) used. Primary success was defined as maintaining patency without procedures overall with additional procedures. placed covered...
Although there are several methods for assessing erectile function in rats, the standard telemetric monitoring have not been established. Theoretically assessment of spontaneous erection (SE) seems to be a physiologic method but it needs long measuring time and additional efforts. Apomorphine-induced (AIE) is one available simple method; however, correlation with SE has assessed. We compared profiles AIE normal two disease rat models using intracavernosal pressure (ICP). Seven-week-old male...
Purpose: Few reports have documented psychopathological abnormalities in patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP).We analyzed the results of a multiphasic personal inventory test to investigate psychopathologic impact PSP young Korean males.Materials and Methods: The authors reviewed military (KMPI) administered conscripts South Korea.A total 234 males participated this study.The normal volunteer group (n=175) comprised individuals who did not any lung disease.The (n=59) included...
