Prostate Cancer
68Ga-PSMA-11 PET has the potential to improve patient selection for extended pelvic lymph node dissection in intermediate to high-risk prostate cancer.
Radical prostatectomy with extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) is a curative treatment option for patients with clinically significant localised prostate cancer. The decision to perform an ePLND can be challenging because the overall incidence of lymph node metastasis is relatively low and ePLND is not free of complications.
Novices in MRI-targeted prostate biopsy benefit from structured reporting of MRI findings.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether structured reports (SRs) of prostate MRI results are more suitable than non-structured reports (NSRs) for promoting the more accurate assessment of the location of a single prostate cancer lesion by novices in MRI-targeted biopsy.
Validating the European randomised study for screening of prostate cancer (ERSPC) risk calculator in a contemporary South African cohort.
Numerous prostate cancer predictive tools have been developed to help with decision-making in men needing prostate biopsy. However, they have been modelled and validated almost exclusively in Caucasian cohorts, hence limiting their use in other population groups.
Results from Blue Earth Diagnostics’ FALCON Trial Show 64% of Patients with Suspected Recurrent Prostate Cancer Had Change in Management Following 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT Scan
Decision Regret after Radical Prostatectomy Does Not Depend upon Surgical Approach: 6-Year Follow-Up of a Large German Cohort Undergoing Routine Care.
Numerous studies have compared outcomes of open (ORP) and robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), but only one study focused on patient satisfaction and regret. Our study aimed to evaluate intermediate-term decision regret after ORP and RARP.
Current trend of worsening prognosis of prostate small cell carcinoma: A population-based study.
To determine the accurate age-adjusted incidence of prostate small cell carcinoma (SCC), update the clinical and pathological characteristics, as well as survival data of prostate SCC from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) datasets.
Health-related quality of life by human immunodeficiency virus status in a cross-sectional survey of gay and bisexual prostate cancer survivors.
Prostate cancer is the most common invasive cancer in gay and bisexual men (GBM). Despite the unique sexual and urinary concerns of this group, studies of prostate cancer rehabilitation have primarily focused on heterosexual men.
Global Variation in Opioid Use in Prostate Cancer Trials.
Regional variation in opioid use may be attenuated when pharmaceutical-sponsored trials include care that is often standardized by protocols. Understanding such variation is important for global trials that sometimes include time to opioid use as an end point.
Informing informed decision making in Primary Prostate Cancer treatment selection.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in 2019 have just published their updated topics in the diagnosis and management of new prostate cancer (1). This is a welcome update to a much-needed area by using evidence to guide the best way to diagnose and manage a growing disease demographic.
