Prostate Cancer

Overall survival benefit of androgen suppression in addition to dose-escalated external beam radiotherapy for high-risk prostate cancer: Nationwide real-world data indicates a shift in men that benefit.

To evaluate the real-world added value of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in addition to external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in men with high-risk non-metastatic prostate cancer, in view of advances in radiotherapy and diagnostics.

Assessing Response to PSMA Radiopharmaceutical Therapies with Single SPECT Imaging at 24 Hours After Injection.

Understanding the relationship between lesion-absorbed dose and tumor response in 177Lu-PSMA-617 radiopharmaceutical therapies (RPTs) remains complex. We aimed to investigate whether baseline lesion-absorbed dose can predict lesion-based responses and to explore the connection between lesion-absorbed dose and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response.

Applications of wearable activity monitors for prostate cancer survivors: A systematic scoping review.

Wearable technology is used to monitor and motivate physical activity (PA) and provides continuous, objective PA and sleep data outside the clinical setting. We reviewed the literature to understand how wearables are integrated into prostate cancer (PC) investigations to identify current practices, gaps, and research opportunities.

Perioperative, Oncological and Functional Outcomes Between Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy and Open Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Limited high-quality studies compared robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) versus open retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP). We sought to compare their postoperative outcomes in a randomized setting.

Which men benefit from prostate cancer screening? Prostate cancer mortality by subgroup in the European Randomised Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer.

To evaluate whether a subgroup of men can be identified that would benefit more from screening than others.

This retrospective cohort study was based on three European Randomised Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) centres, Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden.

Incidental prostate cancer after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate: Critical analysis of independent risk factors and impact on surgical outcomes.

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the impact of incidental prostate cancer (iPCa) and its different grade group (GG) on the surgical outcomes of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and, furthermore, to assess the independent risk factors associated with the detection of iPCa.

Defining oligometastatic state in uro-oncological cancers.

Oligometastatic tumors illustrate a distinct state between localized and systematic disease and might harbor unique biologic features. Moreover, these tumors represent a different clinical entity, with a potential of long-term disease control or even cure, therefore they receive growing attention in the field of urologic oncology.

Prostate Cancer Incidence and Mortality in Men Exposed to α1-Adrenoceptor Antagonists.

α1-antagonists are commonly used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. Preclinical studies suggest they induce cell death and inhibit tumor growth. This study evaluates the risk of prostate cancer death in men using α1-antagonists.

A Model for Predicting Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer using Prostate MRI and Risk Factors.

To develop and validate a predictive model for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) using prostate MRI and patient risk factors.

We identified 960 men who underwent MRI from 2015-2019 and biopsy either 6 months prior or 6 months following the MRI.

The association between neighborhood obesogenic factors and prostate cancer risk and mortality: the Southern Community Cohort Study.

Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality among men in the United States. We examined the role of neighborhood obesogenic attributes on prostate cancer risk and mortality in the Southern Community Cohort Study (SCCS).
