Article Synopsis
- The study highlights a lack of epidemiological data on prostate cancer (PCa) in the Mexican population, despite prevalent research in White and Black men, and presents findings from the Can.Prost registry that documents PCa trends in Mexico City over the past 20 years.
- Post-2014, the OPUS program aimed at early PCa detection significantly improved diagnosis outcomes, leading to lower PSA levels at diagnosis and a higher incidence of asymptomatic cases.
- The research involved a retrospective analysis of 2,759 newly diagnosed PCa patients, comparing clinical characteristics and oncological outcomes between those diagnosed before (2000-2014) and after (2015-2021) the early detection initiatives.
Background: The identification of histopathology in metastatic non-seminomatous testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) before post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (PC-RPLND) holds significant potential to reduce treatment-related morbidity in young patients, addressing an important survivorship concern.
Aim: To explore this possibility, we conducted a study investigating the role of computed tomography (CT) radiomics models that integrate clinical predictors, enabling personalized prediction of histopathology in metastatic non-seminomatous TGCT patients prior to PC-RPLND. In this retrospective study, we included a cohort of 122 patients.
Background: Foreign body ingestion is the second cause of endoscopic emergency in the elderly, and dentures are the most frequent accidently ingested objects. Once in the stomach, their expulsion can be expected in 4 to 6 days. The treatment is wait and see in asymptomatic patients, but preventive endoscopic removal can also be performed.
