Findings may inform treatment decisions after nephrectomy with positive surgical margins.
Prostate Cancer Found at Radical Cystectomy Usually Clinically Insignificant
Findings are from a case series of men who underwent cystoprostatectomy in China.
Study May Help Define Role of PSMA PET/CT in Recurrent Prostate Cancer
Recent findings suggest that it may be possible to spare patients unnecessary exposure to radiation.

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.
