Different nomograms exist for the preoperative prediction of pelvic lymph-node metastatic disease in individual patients with prostate cancer (PCa). These do not incorporate modern imaging techniques such as prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET).To determine predictive performance Briganti 2017, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), and 2019 addition PSMA-PET an international, multicenter, present-day cohort undergoing robot-assisted radical...
The prognostic value of PSMA intensity on PET/CT due to underlying biology and subsequent clinical implications is an emerging topic interest. We sought investigate whether primary tumour PET contributes pre- post-operative prediction oncological outcomes following radical prostatectomy.We performed a retrospective cohort study 848 men who underwent all multiparametric MRI (mpMRI), transperineal prostate biopsy, 68 Ga-PSMA prior prostatectomy. intensity, quantified as maximum standard uptake...
Objective To examine national trends in the medical and surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) using Australian Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) Pharmaceutical Scheme (PBS) population data from 2000 to 2018. Patients methods Annual was extracted MBS, PBS Institute Health Welfare databases for years 2000–2018. Population‐adjusted rates BPH procedures therapies were calculated compared relation age. Cost analysis performed estimate financial burden due BPH. Results Overall...
Preoperative assessment of the probability pelvic lymph-node metastatic disease (pN1) is required to identify patients with prostate cancer (PCa) who are candidates for extended dissection (ePLND).
Objectives To construct and externally calibrate a predictive model for early biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) incorporating clinical modern imaging characteristics of the primary tumour. Patients Methods who underwent RP following multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, prostate biopsy prostate‐specific membrane antigen‐positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA‐PET/CT), from two centres in Australia Netherlands. The outcome was recurrence‐free...
This paper describes a method for creating confidence interval the ratio of rates using score statistic. non-iterative and easy to apply procedure produces intervals that are suitable use with Poisson data simulation results indicate it is close nominal level wide range scenarios.
This study aimed to describe perioperative, oncological and learning curve outcomes for robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) across the first 100 cases performed by an Australian high-volume, fellowship-trained robotic surgeon.A retrospective cohort was on a consecutive group of patients who underwent RARC between 2010 2016 in Brisbane, Australia. Perioperative, survival data were collected. Demographic, analyses MedCalc.A total over period. Median operative time 389 min, with...
This report describes a boy in his early adolescence who was referred to urologist with large, painless right scrotal mass. Following thorough workup, the patient underwent surgical removal of mass, which revealed be paratesticular fibrous pseudotumour (PFP) on histopathological analysis. diagnosis is rare and can often prove difficult distinguish from malignant lesion within scrotum. We have conducted review current literature surrounding PFP compliment case discussion.
