Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the surgical and cancer-related results of salvage radical prostatectomy (sRP) after treatment failure in patients who initially received primary therapy.
  • Researchers analyzed data from patients who underwent either primary or salvage surgery, comparing outcomes like recurrence-free survival, surgical complications, and recovery times.
  • Findings indicated that sRP performed by experienced surgeons yielded similar outcomes in terms of cancer control and recovery compared to primary radical prostatectomy, though the study's retrospective design was a notable limitation.

Background And Objective: Stockholm3 is a comprehensive blood test amalgamating protein biomarkers, genetic indicators, and clinical data to predict clinically significant prostate cancer risk (International Society of Urological Pathology grade ≥2 upon biopsy). Our study aims to externally validate Stockholm3 and compare its performance with the use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and the Rotterdam Prostate Cancer Risk Calculator (RPCRC) for clinically significant prostate cancer detection.

Methods: We gathered data from men subjected to prostate biopsies at the Martini-Klinik, Germany, between 2014 and 2017.

Objectives: To evaluate the long-term oncological outcomes and functional results of the neurovascular structure-adjacent frozen-section examination (NeuroSAFE) during nerve-sparing (NS) radical prostatectomy (RP).

Materials And Methods: A 10-yr survival analysis on 11069 RPs performed with or without the NeuroSAFE, between January 2002 to June 2011 was carried out. In the NeuroSAFE cohort, the neurovascular structure-adjacent prostatic margins are removed and stained for cryo-sectioning during RP.

Purpose: To compare oncological, functional, and surgical outcomes of a large cohort of patients who underwent open retropubic radical prostatectomy (ORP) or robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Materials And Methods: Data from 18,805 RPs performed with either the open or the robot-assisted approaches at a single tertiary referral center between 2008 and 2022 were analyzed. The impact of surgical approach on biochemical recurrence-free survival, salvage radiotherapy-free survival, and metastasis-free survival was analyzed by log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier analysis in a propensity score (PS)-based matched cohort.

Background: Intraoperative impairment of cerebral autoregulation (CA) has been associated with perioperative neurocognitive disorders. We investigated whether intraoperative fluctuations in cardiac index are associated with changes in CA.

Methods: We conducted an integrative explorative secondary analysis of individual-level data from 2 prospective observational studies including patients scheduled for radical prostatectomy.
