Article Synopsis
- Asians generally have a lower incidence of prostate cancer compared to Europeans, and a study analyzed the effectiveness of the Prostate Health Index (PHI) test in assessing cancer risk among these groups.
- The study involved 2,488 men (1,688 Asian and 800 European), showing significant differences in the rates of high-grade prostate cancer (HGPC) diagnosed using varying PHI thresholds.
- PHI demonstrated improved cancer risk stratification compared to PSA tests, suggesting that tailored PHI reference ranges for different ethnicities can help reduce unnecessary biopsies and overdiagnosis.
Background And Objectives: To identify predictive preoperative factors of the presence of teratoma in retroperitoneal lymph node dissection specimens.
Methods: We performed a 20 years multicenter retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for residual masses after chemotherapy (PC-RPLND). Patients had undergone PC-RPLND after chemotherapy for advanced testicular cancer.
Objectives: To determine if the epidemiology of testis cancer in military service has followed worldwide trends and if the end of conscription in 2000 in France marked an epidemiologic turn.
Methods: All of the patients who had an orchiectomy for a testis germ tumor from January 1990 to January 2011 were studied. The patients were divided into two groups: orchiectomy before 2000 and after 2000.
