Objective: We assessed the pattern of local recurrence after salvage cryoablation of the prostate, and the impact of local recurrence on intermediate-term outcome.
Methods: One hundred twenty-two patients who underwent salvage cryoablation were studied after a mean follow-up of 56 months. Serial prostate biopsy was carried out after cryoablation.
Background: The optimum treatment of prostate cancer recurrence following radiation therapy (RT) remains controversial due to the lack of long-term data.
Objective: Our aim was to review the survival of patients who underwent salvage cryotherapy to the prostate gland for biopsy-proven recurrent prostate cancer and establish prognostic indicators.
Design, Setting, And Participants: A retrospective analysis was performed on all patients undergoing salvage cryotherapy at an academic urology unit for biopsy-proven locally recurrent prostate cancer after RT from 1995 to 2004.
Purpose: We assessed the efficacy of cryoablation of the prostate with an emphasis on finding predictive factors that lead to improved outcome.
Materials And Methods: A total of 187 patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy underwent salvage cryoablation of the prostate, and were studied after a mean followup of 39 months. Survival analysis was performed with the Kaplan-Meier method.
Aim: To evaluate the usefulness of urodynamic study in young men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
Methods: We reviewed the charts of 50 men with LUTS aged 50 years and below. Those with neurological diseases, urethral trauma or strictures were excluded.
