TRT Speeds Potency Recovery After Prostate Surgery
In a study, all men who received testosterone replacement therapy within 1 year of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy had full potency recovery at 24 months.
TRT Reduces Post-RARP Recurrence Risk in Low-Risk Prostate Cancer
Testosterone replacement therapy prolonged time to disease progression among men who underwent radical surgery for localized prostate cancer.
Metabolic Syndrome Increases Risk of Kidney Stone Recurrence
Kidney stone recurrence risk increases along with the number of metabolic syndrome components, which include abdominal obesity, hypertension, elevated fasting glucose, low high-density lipoprotein, and elevated triglycerides.
Intense ADT Prior to RP May Improve Outcomes in Locally Advanced PCa
A phase 2 study demonstrated higher rates of pathologic complete response or minimal residual disease.
Long-Term Use of Low-Dose Aspirin May Lower PCa Mortality
A population-based study found no effect of low-dose aspirin use within 1 year of diagnosis on prostate cancer death risk.
Kidney Cancer Linked to Adolescent Overweight, Obesity
Overweight and obesity, compared with normal weight, in adolescence are associated with a 1.8- and 2.9-fold increased risk of renal cell carcinoma later in life, respectively, a study found.
Time from Definitive Therapy to ADT Predicts mCRPC Risk
Time from definitive therapy for localized prostate cancer to the start of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) independently predicts the risk of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and death, a new study suggests. The study, led by Neeraj Agarwal, MD, of the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, included 253…
Higher Vitamin D Levels Reduce the Likelihood of Kidney Cancer
Higher circulating concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D are associated with a lower risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), new data suggest. The data are from a study in which investigators in China compared 135 newly diagnosed cases of RCC with 135 controls matched by age and sex. Average plasma levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH) D]…
Prostate Cancer Risk After Single Negative Biopsy Quantified
Almost one quarter of men who have a single negative prostate biopsy are eventually diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) within 20 years, according to investigators. The finding is from a study of 95,675 men who had a negative first transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy from January 1994 to October 2014. The 5-, 10-, 15, and…
