Breaking the Rules: Upper Pole Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction Causing Massive Urinary Tract Dilation in a Neonate With Prenatal Diagnosis of Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney.

Prenatal diagnosis of left multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) and ureterocele was made in a male fetus at 24-week gestation. The initial postnatal course was uneventful. At 4 weeks of age, he developed urosepsis and respiratory distress.

Prior Negative Biopsy, PSA Density, and Anatomic Location Impact Cancer Detection Rate of MRI-Targeted PI-RADS Index Lesions.

Background: MRI fusion prostate biopsy has improved the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (CSC). Continued refinements in predicting the pre-biopsy probability of CSC are essential for optimal patient counseling. We investigated potential factors related to improved cancer detection rates (CDR) of CSC in patients with PI-RADS ≥ 3 lesions.

Diagnostic Imaging in Low-Risk Prostate Cancer: More Harm Than Good?

Introduction: Despite guidelines recommending that staging imaging is not needed in very low-risk (VLR) and low-risk (LR) prostate cancer (PCa), there is concern for overutilization in these risk groups. We investigate utilization of staging imaging and implications of findings in newly diagnosed VLR and LR PCa patients.

Methods: A total of 493 patients diagnosed with PCa between 2011 and 2017 were stratified according to American Urological Association and National Comprehensive Cancer Network® VLR and LR groups.

Patient Perceptions Regarding Routine Oncologic Follow-Up for Urologic Malignancies.

Introduction: In colorectal, cervical, and breast cancers, oncologic follow-up can exacerbate or alleviate patient stress about disease recurrence. Such patient experiences are less well defined for urologic malignancies. We developed a cross-sectional prospective survey study to assess kidney (Kid), prostate (Pros), and bladder (Bld) cancer patient perceptions of oncologic follow-up following surgical treatment.
