Large prostates and bladder neck sparing also predict longer time to return of continence.
Testosterone Replacement Safe for Men With Prostate Cancer
Findings emerge from a study of hypogonadal men who underwent radiation therapy, surgery, or active surveillance for prostate cancer.

Radiation therapy also is associated with a greater likelihood of fractures.
Adjuvant Docetaxel Does Not Help Biochemical DFS in High-risk PCa
In prostate cancer, adjuvant docetaxel without hormone therapy did not improve biochemical disease-free survival after radical prostatectomy.
TRUS-biopsy Inferior for Prostate Cancer Detection
Transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) prostate biopsy poorly detects and rules out clinically significant prostate cancer.
Enzalutamide-Abiraterone-Leuprolide Ineffective for Localized PCa
