Urothelial tumors represent a spectrum of diseases with range prognosis. After diagnosis is established at any point within the urothelial tract, patient remains risk for developing new lesion different or same location and similar more advanced stage. Continued monitoring recurrence an essential part management, because most recurrences are superficial can be managed endoscopically. Within each category disease, refined methods to determine prognosis guide based on molecular staging, under...
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...
Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis represents approximately 0.5% all cancers among men in United States and other developed countries. Although rare, it is associated with significant disfigurement, only half patients survive beyond 5 years. Proper evaluation both primary lesion lymph nodes critical, because nodal involvement most important factor survival. The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines Oncology for Penile Cancer provide recommendations on diagnosis management this devastating...
A multicentre study of survivors an anterior myocardial infarction is reported. The trial consisted 720 patients and was a double-blind, placebo-controlled with propranolol 40 mg three times day. Trial entry at two to 14 days (mean 8.5 days) follow-up one, three, in most centres, six nine months. designed detect 50 per cent reduction mortality this not shown. non-fatal reinfarction rate similar both groups. Subgroup analysis identified several prognostic risk factors for death, none which...
To explore the views of experts about development and validation a robotic surgery training curriculum, how this should be implemented. An international expert panel was invited to structured session for discussion. The study mixed design, including qualitative quantitative components based on focus group interviews during European Association Urology (EAU) Robotic Section (ERUS) (2012), EAU (2013) ERUS meetings. After introduction aims, principles current status curriculum development,...

We determined whether prostate weight has an impact on the pathological and operative outcomes of robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.We reviewed records 1,847 consecutive patients who underwent prostatectomy at our institution. Variables were compared across quartile distributions size as defined by weight, including group 1-less than 30 gm, 2-30 to 49.9, 3-50 69.9 4-70 or greater. Factors assessed in this analysis patient age, body mass index, specific antigen, Gleason score,...
We report on outcomes of robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy as salvage local therapy for radiation resistant prostate cancer.We retrospectively reviewed the charts all patients who underwent biopsy proven cancer after primary treatment. Patient characteristics, intraoperative and perioperative data, oncological functional were assessed.A total 18 identified with a median followup months (range 4.5 to 40). Primary treatment was brachytherapy in 8 external beam 8, while 2...
Ability to perform cytogenetic interrogations on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from the blood of cancer patients is vital for progressing toward targeted, individualized treatments. CTCs are rare compared normal (bystander) cells, found in ratios as low 1:10(9). The most successful isolation techniques have been immunocytochemical technologies that label separation based unique surface antigens distinguish them bystander cells. method discussed here utilizes biotin-tagged antibodies bind...
To determine the peri-operative outcomes of men undergoing salvage robot-assisted prostatectomy (RARP) and to examine complications, functional consequences need for additional treatments after RARP.At total 51 consecutive patients underwent RARP previous failed local therapy. Biochemical recurrence (BCR) was defined as two postoperative PSA measurements ≥0.2 ng/mL. Complications at any time postoperatively were recorded prospectively using a modified Clavien system. The Kaplan-Meier method...
