Cancer Of Prostate Articles

The aim of this study was to describe age- related prostate cancer (PCa) characteristics in men after radical prostatectomy (RP).

There were 2,373 men who underwent RP for clinically localized PCa between 2002 and 2017 and had complete data that were included into the study.

Rectal bleeding after radiotherapy impacts the quality of life of long-term surviving prostate cancer patients. We sought to identify factors associated with late rectal bleeding following intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) using TomoTherapy for prostate cancer.

In prostate cancer treatment, lower urinary tract symptoms significantly improve with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone antagonists use compared with agonists. However, it is unclear whether luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone antagonists can decrease acute urinary tract toxicity during external beam radiotherapy.

Surgery for prostate cancer is associated with adverse effects. We studied long-term risk of adverse effects after retropubic (RRP) and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

In the National Prostate Cancer Register of Sweden, men who had undergone radical prostatectomy (RP) between 2004 and 2014 were identified.

The aim of this study was to compare cancer detection by targeted fusion-guided biopsy with systematic biopsy, and to evaluate the value of combined biopsy, in a daily clinical practice scenario. Furthermore, we aimed to assess the influence of previous biopsies on cancer detection.

We examined post-prostatectomy orgasmic function (OF) and assessed for potential predictors.

Between 2005 and 2013, 499 men underwent radical prostatectomy and completed quality of life questionnaires prospectively preoperatively and at regular postoperative intervals.

Identifying predictors of positive surgical margins (PSM) and biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) may assist clinicians in formulating prognosis. Aim of the study was to report the midterm oncologic outcomes, to identify the risk factors for PSM and BCR and assess the impact of the PSM on BCR-free survival following robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP).
