Prostate cancer (PCa) patients undergoing image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) experience a low incidence of treatment-related urinary incontinence (UI), researchers reported at the American Urological Association 2012 annual meeting.
Preoperative cross-sectional imaging can prevent unnecessary adrenalectomy in patients undergoing radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), according to findings presented at the American Urological Association 2012 annual meeting.
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md.—Renal ultrasound use for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not changed significantly since the release of guidelines in 2002 recommending imaging studies for patients with CKD or who are at risk for it as a result of urinary stones, infections, and other factors.
Most men with incidental prostate cancer do not require staging imaging, according to guidelines.
SAN FRANCISCO—Percutaneous image-guided renal mass biopsy (RMB) combined with immunohistochemical (IHC) results can accurately distinguish between benign and malignant tumors, a finding that could help prevent unnecessary nephrectomies, researchers reported at the 37th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society of Interventional Radiology.
SAN FRANCISCO—Image-guided ablation of primary renal cancers smaller than 4.8 cm may be performed with minimal morbidity and produce excellent results in terms of long-term survival, according to a new study presented at the 37th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society of Interventional Radiology.
Ultrasound imaging works as well as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluating renal mass size, a new study suggests.
Although urinary tract infections (UTIs) in childhood are considered a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD), a literature search revealed that in the absence of structural kidney abnormalities evident in imaging studies after the first UTI, the etiologic fraction of recurrent childhood UTIs as a main cause of CKD appears small, investigators reported in Pediatrics.
Targeted prostate biopsies using a technique that combines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with real-time 3D ultrasound may improve prostate cancer detection, according to a report in the online May/June issue of the journal Urologic Oncology.
Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) endorectal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis may offer an effective method of assessing for local recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa) after prostatectomy, according to Texas researchers.
