Article Synopsis
- The study looked at men's experiences after getting an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) surgery again after having it fixed multiple times.
- Most men felt good about their initial surgery, but some didn't know the device needed future fixes and wanted better follow-up care.
- Overall, the AUS helped reduce how many pads they used for incontinence, showing it worked well for most of them.
Objective: To analyze marital outcomes, divorce or separation, and its association with demographic, socioeconomic, and clinicopathological factors among breast cancer (BC) survivors after 2-years of diagnosis.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of marital status at baseline and at years 1 and 2 of follow-up of women aged ≥ 18 years diagnosed with invasive BC participating in the AMAZONA III (GBECAM0115) study. The BC diagnosis occurred between January 2016 and March 2018 at 23 institutions in Brazil.

- The study investigated how previous radiation therapy impacts the lifespan and failure rates of artificial urinary sphincters (AUSs) in men.
- It found that men with a history of radiation experienced significantly shorter times to device failure compared to those without (1.4 years vs. 3.5 years).
- Specifically, prior radiation dramatically increased the risk of erosion or infection related to the AUS but did not affect the risk of urethral atrophy or mechanical failures.

We aimed to describe sociodemographic and clinicopathological characteristics and quality of life of patients with cervical cancer at diagnosis in Brazil.
