This study objectives to investigate a range of Partin table and several machine learning methods for pathological stage prediction and assess them with respect to their predictive model performance based on Koreans data.

To determine the actual incidence of prostate cancer (PC) in the healthcare areas of Castilla-Leon in 2014.

A multicentre study was conducted with the participation of 7 of the 9 healthcare areas of Castilla-Leon.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of arterial input functions (AIFs) measured from dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI following a low dose of contrast media injection. The AIFs measured from DCE computed tomography (CT) were used as 'gold standard'.

The management of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is challenging, attributable to a lack of efficacious therapies. Chemotherapy is one of the most important treatments for CRPC. Doxorubicin has been extensively used in many different tumors and is often combined with other drugs to enhance effects and reduce toxicity.

Breast cancer anti-estrogen resistance 1 (BCAR1/p130cas) is a hub for diverse oncogenic signaling cascades and promotes tumor development and progression.

To understand the effect of BCAR1 in prostate cancer, we analyzed its expression on more than 11,000 prostate cancer samples.

We performed a comprehensive literature review and meta-analysis evaluating the association of inflammation on prostate needle biopsies (PNB) and prostate cancer (PCa) risk.

We searched EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science from January 1, 1990 to October 1, 2016 for abstracts containing PCa, inflammation, and biopsy keywords.

Elevated levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are associated with carcinogenesis and cancer progression. However, the molecular mechanisms by which IGF-I promotes prostate cancer development remain to be elucidated.

Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI) has become a very useful tool in the management of low risk Prostate Cancer (PCa) patients eligible for Active Surveillance (AS). The aim of this systematic review was to critically review the latest literature concerning the role of mpMRI in this clinical setting, underlying current strengths and weakness.

The survival benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy (ART) in prostate adenocarcinoma, with limited numbers of pathologically involved lymph nodes (LNs) after radical prostatectomy (RP), is controversial.

From 2004 to 2014, data for prostate cancer patients categorized as N1M0 after RP were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common and growing procedure in the United States. Concomitantly, there has been a rise in patients diagnosed with certain types of malignancies including solid organ ones.

Chronic hyperglycemia increases production of reactive oxygen species, which favors carcinogenesis. The association between diabetes and prostate cancer is controversial. Melatonin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative properties.

Our previous studies revealed that the downregulation of Suppressor of cytokine signaling 6 (SOCS6) was correlated with malignant progression of human prostate cancer (PCa). In the current study, we aimed to investigate the tumor suppressive roles of SOCS6 and the underlying mechanisms in PCa.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men, accounting for 15% of all cancers in men worldwide. Asian populations consume soy foods as part of a regular diet, which may contribute to the lower PCa incidence observed in these countries.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in the elderly population. The standard treatment is radical prostatectomy (RARP). However, urologists do not have consents on the postoperative urine drainage management (suprapubic tube (ST)/ urethral catheter (UC)).

Radiotherapy and radical prostatectomy are the definitive treatment options for patients with localized prostate cancer. A rising PSA after radical prostatectomy indicates prostate cancer recurrence, and these patients may still be cured with salvage radiotherapy.

To describe the dramatic and rapid unmaking of Urinary pubic symphysis fistula and chronic osteomyelitis (UPF) following artificial urinary sphincter implantation (AUS). This has never been reported as UPF is usually an insidious sequelae of radiotherapy/energy ablation for prostate cancer (PCa).

This work investigated the preparation of chitosan nanoparticles used as carriers for doxorubicin for targeted cancer delivery. Prepared nanocarriers were stabilized and functionalized via zinc ions incorporated into the chitosan nanoparticle backbone.
