Perineural Invasion Linked to Biochemical Recurrence After Prostatectomy
Patients with perineural invasion had a 4-fold higher risk of biochemical recurrence.
Patients with perineural invasion had a 4-fold higher risk of biochemical recurrence.
The likelihood of conversion from HoLEP to an open procedure to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia increases along with prostate size.
In patients with high-risk prostate cancer, negative PSMA PET/CT does not permit PLND avoidance, investigators cautioned.
Investigators compared the mental health status of men undergoing surgery, radiation therapy, and active surveillance for localized prostate cancer.
From March 23 to July 4, 2020, the number of men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer dropped 48.3% compared with the corresponding period in 2019, according to investigators.
Early salvage radiation therapy was defined as PSA levels of 0.2 to 0.5 ng/mL.
In a phase 2 trial, 44% of men who received abiraterone with or without cabazitaxel prior to radical prostatectomy for high-risk prostate cancer achieved a pathologic complete response or minimal residual disease.
A study of men with prostate cancer found no association between extent of lymph node dissection during radical prostatectomy and survival outcomes.
Patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and were discharged the same day had complication and 90-day readmission rates similar to those who had the procedure as inpatients.
Major complications after cancer surgery doubled the odds of a late readmission for venous thromboembolism.
