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.
Mesh removal or revision was a top complication across all racial and ethnic groups, investigators reported.
Intraoperative pathologic assessment of tissue adjacent to the neurovascular bundles after removal of the prostate increases the likelihood of nerve-sparing surgery.
Cytoreductive partial nephrectomy and robotic radiosurgery appear to have a place in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma, research findings suggest.
Men undergoing radical cystectomy are most likely to recover erectile function if they have good function before the surgery and receive nerve-sparing, according to investigators.
Number of days alive and out of hospital within first 90 days greater for robot-assisted surgery, but clinical significance of findings unclear
Positive surgical margins in patients undergoing robotic partial nephrectomy for renal tumors are associated with adverse oncologic outcomes, a study revealed.
Investigators examined outcomes of robotic radiosurgery in patients with lung, visceral, and lymph node metastases from renal cell carcinoma.
No difference seen in percentage of patients recovering at each time point for robot-assisted versus open radical cystectomy
A minimally invasive approach does not increase risk for atypical sites of kidney cancer recurrence, a recent study suggests.
