PDE5i Use After Robotic Prostate Cancer Surgery Ups Survival
The finding emerged from a propensity-score matched analysis of 1058 men who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Bladder Cancer Risk Higher After Radiation vs Surgery for Prostate Cancer
Radiation therapy for prostate cancer is significantly associated with more than twice the risk for bladder cancer compared with radical prostatectomy, a study found.
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.
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.
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.
Active Surveillance Rate for Low-Risk Prostate Cancer Is Rising
Although most men with low-risk prostate cancer are now managed initially with active surveillance, use of this approach remains suboptimal, according to investigators.
Prostate Cancer PLND Might Be Avoidable in Some Men With Negative PSMA PET CT
In patients with high-risk prostate cancer, negative PSMA PET/CT does not permit PLND avoidance, investigators cautioned.
