The World Journal of Men's Health, 2023 Purpose: Persistent levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a poor prognostic factor for recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP). We investigated the impact of the percentage of residual PSA (%rPSA) [(post-/preoperative PSA)×100], representing

Modeling Recovery Curves With Application to Prostatectomy [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 We propose a Bayesian model that predicts recovery curves based on information available before the disruptive event. A recovery curve of interest is the quantified sexual function of prostate cancer patients after prostatectomy surgery. We illustrate the utility of our model as a pre-treatment medical decision aid, producing personalized predictions ...

The Prostate, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background An accurate estimation of progression risk in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) amenable to active surveillance (AS) is still an unmet need. Among available biomarkers, we considered Prolaris cell‐cycle progression (CCP) test, “triple hit” phenotype (ERG overexpression, PTEN and prostein expression loss) and elevated expression ...

Optimal MRI sequences for 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI in evaluation of biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. [PDF]
, 2017 BackgroundPET/MRI can be used for the detection of disease in biochemical recurrence (BCR) patients imaged with 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET. This study was designed to determine the optimal MRI sequences to localize positive findings on 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET of patients

Registration of pre-surgical MRI and whole-mount histopathology images in prostate cancer patients with radical prostatectomy via RAPSODI [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has great potential to improve prostate cancer diagnosis. It can spare men with a normal exam from undergoing invasive biopsy while making biopsies more accurate in men with lesions suspicious for cancer. Yet, the subtle differences between cancer and confounding conditions, render the interpretation of MRI challenging.

UroPrecision, EarlyView.Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) is a multifaceted disease that envelops 1.41 million new cases globally. It is the second most common cancer reported in men. Its heterogeneity and indolent growth, coupled with incompetent early screening methods such as serum prostate‐specific antigen level estimations and digital rectal examinations, contribute to its ...

Nerve-targeted probes for fluorescence-guided intraoperative imaging. [PDF]
, 2018 A fundamental goal of many surgeries is nerve preservation, as inadvertent injury can lead to patient morbidity including numbness, pain, localized paralysis and incontinence.

Adjuvant radiation therapy, androgen deprivation, and docetaxel for high-risk prostate cancer postprostatectomy: Results of NRG Oncology/RTOG study 0621. [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Phase 3 trials have demonstrated a benefit from adjuvant radiation therapy (ART) for men who have adverse factors at radical prostatectomy (RP). However, some patients have a high risk of progression despite ART.

Vesicourethral anastomosis facilitated by a new disposable instrument
International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2004 The author presents a prototype of a disposable device that enables, in one single movement, the passing of all suture stitches in the urethral stump that will be anastomosed to the bladder or to a neobladder, with the advantage of a regular distribution

The World Journal of Men's Health, 2023 Purpose: Neurogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common side effect of radical prostatectomy (RP) because of cavernous nerve damage. In these patients, the production of nitric oxide (NO), which is important for erection, is decreased in the corpus ...
