Robotic Prostate Cancer Surgery Tied to Financial Harm in Younger Patients
Higher risk also seen among patients experiencing increased urinary symptoms
Diagnosis & Disease Information
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
A novel scoring system could identify men at increased risk of death after prostatectomy who would benefit from adjuvant radiation therapy.
Prostate Cancer Recurrence After Surgery Linked to Pelvic Inflammation
A recent study is the first to examine the association between pelvic inflammation and prostate cancer biology and outcomes.
Persistent PSA After Salvage RP Predicts Worse Outcomes
Persistent vs undetectable PSA after salvage radical prostatectomy is significantly associated with an increased risk for biochemical recurrence, metastasis, and death, investigators reported.
NeuroSAFE Ups Odds of Nerve-Sparing Prostate Cancer Surgery
Intraoperative pathologic assessment of tissue adjacent to the neurovascular bundles after removal of the prostate increases the likelihood of nerve-sparing surgery.
Perineural Invasion Linked to Biochemical Recurrence After Prostatectomy
Patients with perineural invasion had a 4-fold higher risk of biochemical recurrence.
Larger Prostates Up Odds of Converting From HoLEP to Open Prostatectomy
The likelihood of conversion from HoLEP to an open procedure to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia increases along with prostate size.
