Prostate Cancer Recurrence Risk Lower With Anterior Tumors
Following laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, men with posterior index tumors had 76% increased risk of biochemical recurrence vs those with anterior prostate tumors.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Bladder Cancer, UTUC More Common in Kidney Transplant Recipients
A study found that bladder cancer and UTUC occurred in 122.22 and 113.97 per 100,000 persons per year, respectively, among kidney transplant recipients.
Gleason Score at Surgical Margin Affects BCR Risk
Gleason score at the margin can better stratify biochemical recurrence-free rates, according to study findings.
AS May Be Safe for Selected Men With Gleason 3+4 Prostate Cancer
Men with Gleason 6 and Gleason 3+4 prostate cancer who undergo radical prostatectomy after a period on active surveillance have similar surgical outcomes.
UroVysion Results Predict Post-BCG Bladder Cancer Outcomes
Positive results before BCG treatment and at the 6-week instillation are associated with an increased likelihood of disease recurrence and/or progression.
Partial vs Radical Nephrectomy Lowers Elderly Patient Mortality Risk
Study shows that partial nephrectomy for small renal tumors is associated with lower risk of cancer-specific and other-cause mortality in patients aged 75 years and older.
Predictors of Post-cystectomy C. difficile Infection Identified
Female sex and need for a blood transfusion are associated with development of Clostridium difficile infection following radical cystectomy.
Novel Blood Test Improves Detection of High-Grade Prostate Cancer
IsoPSA can correctly rule out high-grade prostate cancer 93% of the time and thus has the potential to reduce the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies.
Urinary Incontinence Highly Prevalent Among Men Seeking LUTS Care
In a study, researchers found that 51% of men seeking care at tertiary referral urology clinics reported some form of urinary leakage.
Optimal Post-Radical Prostatectomy Follow-up Schedule Proposed
Investigators suggest PSA testing frequencies based on post-operative baseline PSA.
