Article Synopsis
- This study explores the effectiveness of dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (DCE-CT) in detecting prostate cancer lesions compared to multiparametric MRI (mpMRI).
- Results showed that DCE-CT had a detection rate of 57-79%, while DCE-MRI reached 92%.
- The findings indicate DCE-CT can successfully identify prostate cancer lesions, making it a potential tool for targeted radiotherapy planning.
Objective: To evaluate the prostate cancer (PCa) detection rate, PCa location, PCa significance and complications of a standardized 24-core template-guided transperineal biopsy (TPB) approach in patients with at least two negative transrectal biopsies.
Methods: We prospectively recruited 50 men who had at least two negative transrectal ultrasound-guided extended biopsies in the past 24 months, a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) < 20 ng/mL, a prostate volume < 100 mL, and life expectancy of at least 90 % at 10 years. All patients underwent a standardized 24-core template-guided TPB biopsy.
Objective: To evaluate the frequency of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and detrusor overactivity (DO) in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
Patients And Methods: Our prospective urodynamics database was queried. Inclusion criteria were CRPC and an International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥ 20.
Objective: To evaluate ABO blood group as a prognostic marker in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included 556 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for RCC at a single institution. The associations of ABO blood group with clinical and pathological variables were assessed using Kruskal-Wallis and chi-squared tests.
