Predictive ability of partin tables 2001 in a Welsh population.

Objectives: Partin tables are widely used to select and counsel patients prior to radical surgery for prostate cancer. However, Partin tables have been developed in the USA which has a different ethnic mixture from that of North Wales. We aimed to assess Partin tables' predictive ability in a Welsh population.

A study on staging bone scans in newly diagnosed prostate cancer.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the role of bone scan as a staging investigation in newly diagnosed untreated prostate cancers.

Materials And Methods: Bone scan results in patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer were reviewed and correlated with clinical stage, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and Gleason scores from the biopsy specimen.

Results: In all, 124 patients fulfilled inclusion criteria with an age range of 51-94 (mean 72.

The benefits of radical prostatectomy beyond cancer control in symptomatic men with prostate cancer.

Objective: To evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and the symptom-associated quality of life (QoL) after radical prostatectomy.

Patients And Methods: We carried out a prospective study (January 1999 to March 2001) of 50 consecutive men initially assessed in the nurse-led prostate assessment clinic for their LUTS and subsequently diagnosed to have localized prostate cancer. They had a radical retropubic prostatectomy and were assessed before, 3 and 6 months after surgery with a self-administered International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and QoL questionnaires, and measurements of urinary flow rate and postvoid residual urinary (PVR) volumes.

Renal artery embolization for benign obstructive uropathy.

Purpose: We demonstrate safety of renal artery embolization as an alternative to nephrectomy in symptomatic patients with obstructed, poorly functioning kidneys who are unfit for surgery.

Materials And Methods: We performed renal artery embolization in 2 medically unfit patients with benign obstructive uropathy and poorly functioning kidneys. The affected kidney was initially drained with a nephrostomy tube and the kidney was then selectively embolized using absorbable gelatin sponge particles and Gianturco coils.
