Prostate Cancer Active Surveillance Rates Rising, But Still Suboptimal
The trend emerged from an analysis of data from 84,596 men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Outpatient Partial Nephrectomy Safety Probed
Study reveals an elevated risk for cardiac arrest and 30-day mortality associated with outpatient vs inpatient minimally invasive partial nephrectomy.
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.
4Kscore Predicts Prostate Cancer Progression on Active Surveillance
A 4Kscore of 20% or higher is independently associated with a 1.7-fold increased risk for disease progression compared with a lower score, a study revealed.
Complications Requiring Reoperation Common After Radical Cystectomy
A single-institution study revealed that 37% of patients who underwent radical cystectomy experienced at least 1 additional intervention.
Antibiotic Prophylaxis Guidelines for Radical Cystectomy Often Not Followed
Only 27% of patients undergoing radical cystectomy with ileal conduit received antibiotic prophylaxis according to AUA guidelines, a study found.
Renal Function Dips in First Year After Bladder Cancer Trimodal Therapy
Trimodal therapy for bladder cancer results in a slight decline in eGFR in the first year but stabilizes thereafter for up to 10 years, a study found.
Scoring System Differentiates Malignant and Benign Renal Masses
A validated algorithm for assessing solid renal masses could be useful in clinical practice.
How Patients Choose Small Renal Mass Treatment Characterized
Patients choosing active surveillance perceived cancer and metastasis risks to be lower compared with those opting for surgery and ablation, a study showed.
Progression Criteria Could Improve Active Surveillance for Renal Masses
Recent findings may be useful for patient counseling and in designing active surveillance research studies.
