PSMA-PET May Improve Lymph Node Dissection in Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer
Nevertheless, thorough extended pelvic lymph node dissection cannot be omitted, investigators cautioned.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Surgery, Radiation Therapy Offer Similar Survival in High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Investigators analyzed data from 3 randomized controlled trials and data from their own prospective institutional database.
Cytoreductive Radical Prostatectomy for mHSPC Is a Possible Option
Cytoreductive radical prostatectomy for newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer can be performed with minimal morbidity and is associated with a low risk for symptomatic local recurrence.
Prostate Cancer Surgery vs SBRT Outcomes Reported
As far as investigators are aware, their study is the first randomized controlled trial comparing radical prostatectomy and stereotactic body radiation therapy.
Opioid Prescription Can Be Eliminated After Urologic Cancer Surgery
Postoperative opioid prescriptions are associated with delayed recovery, perioperative complications, and opioid misuse, investigators noted.
Robotic Prostate Cancer Surgery Tied to Financial Harm in Younger Patients
Higher risk also seen among patients experiencing increased urinary symptoms
PSMA PET/CT Lymph Node Staging Can Predict Prostate Cancer Surgery Outcomes
Pelvic lymph node metastases visualized on PSMA PET/CT prior to prostate cancer surgery independently predicts an increased risk for biochemical disease progression, a study found.
Upstaging After PSMA PET for High-Risk Prostate Cancer Increasing
Study findings suggest that PSMA PET results may alter treatment decisions in high-risk prostate cancer.
3D Virtual Reality Models Aid Planning for Prostate Cancer Surgery
But difference in positive margin rates between usual planning and 3D virtual reality model planning groups not statistically significant
Adjuvant Radiation Tx May Benefit Select Men With High-Risk Prostate Cancer
