Persistent PSA After Salvage RP Predicts Worse Outcomes
Persistent vs undetectable PSA after salvage radical prostatectomy is significantly associated with an increased risk for biochemical recurrence, metastasis, and death, investigators reported.
Ureteric Stone Treatment Changed During the Pandemic, but Outcomes Did Not
A shift to less invasive management of ureteric stones during the COVID-19 pandemic did not adversely affect the treatment success rate, according to a study conducted in the United Kingdom.
Kidney Failure Risk Higher After Kidney Cancer Surgery
Investigators report a cumulative 10-year incidence of end-stage kidney disease of 2.5% among patients who undergo surgery for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which is 10 times higher than in patients without RCC.
Nocturia Associated With Higher Mortality Risk
In both men and women, nocturia is significantly associated with an increased risk for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, according to investigators.
Shockwave Lithotripsy Effective in Selected Cases of Distal Ureteric Stones
Patients with stones smaller than 7 mm are more likely have a successful treatment than those with larger stones, investigators concluded.
Prostate Cancer Outcomes After HIFU Characterized
Patients who underwent HIFU total ablation of the prostate had a 30-month failure-free survival rate similar to that of patients treated with radical prostatectomy, according to investigators.
UTUC Adjuvant Chemotherapy Beneficial in Selected Cases
Adjuvant chemotherapy prolongs survival among patients with negative surgical margins regardless of number of positive lymph nodes.
Tamsulosin After Shockwave Lithotripsy Ups Stone-Free Rate
A recent study may support use of tamsulosin as medical expulsion therapy following shockwave lithotripsy.
Data Support Trimodal Therapy for Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer
A propensity-score matched comparison revealed no significant difference in oncologic outcomes between radical cystectomy and trimodal therapy.
