[Clinical and morphological assessment of the results of a standard robot-assisted nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy and with the use of Retzius-sparing technique].

Objective: To compare the perioperative, functional, clinical and morphological results of a standard robot-assisted nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy and with the use of the Retzius-sparing technique.

Materials And Methods: A prospective analysis was performed of two groups of patients (n=54) who underwent nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (period from 2017 to 2018). The first group included 29 patients who underwent nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with Retzius-sparing technique, the second - 25 patients operated on according to the standard method of bilateral nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy.

Myosin 1C isoform A is a novel candidate diagnostic marker for prostate cancer.

Early diagnosis of prostate cancer is a challenging issue due to the lack of specific markers. Therefore, a sensitive diagnostic marker that is expressed or upregulated exclusively in prostate cancer cells would facilitate diagnostic procedures and ensure a better outcome. We evaluated the expression of myosin 1C isoform A in 5 prostate cell lines, 41 prostate cancer cases, and 11 benign hyperplasias.
