Can we rely on magnetic resonance imaging for prostate cancer detection and surgical planning? Comprehensive analysis of a large cohort of patients undergoing transperineal mapped biopsies.

Purpose: To evaluate MRI and histological concordance in prostate cancer (PCa) identification via mapped transperineal biopsies.

Methodology: Retrospective per-lesion analysis of patients undergoing MRI and transperineal biopsy at the Valencian Institute of Oncology (2016-2024) using CAPROSIVO PCa data. Patients underwent MRI, with or without regions of interest (ROI), followed by transperineal biopsies (3-5 cores/ROI, 20-30 systematic).

Comparative evaluation of continence and potency after radical prostatectomy: Robotic vs. laparoscopic approaches, validating LAP-01 trial.

Background: Minimally invasive techniques have demonstrated several advantages over the open approach. In the field of prostate cancer, the LAP-01 trial demonstrated the superiority of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) over laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) when comparing continence at 3-month after surgery, with no statistically significant differences at 6 and 12 months of follow-up.

Objectives: Externally validate the LAP-01 study and compare functional outcomes between the two minimally invasive approaches.

Prostate cancer patients with lymphatic node involvement detected by immunohistochemistry. Is the effort worthwhile?

Introduction: Lymph node (LN) status is one of the main prognostic factors in localized prostate cancer (CaP) patients after surgery. Examining palpable lymph nodes with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) is the most common approach in clinical practice; however, immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been reported to increase the LN detection rate. We reviewed the oncological results of patients with LN metastasis detected by IHC.

[Erectile dysfunction and YouTube: Quality of videos in Spanish].

Introduction: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the most prevalent urological diseases, but there is limited data about the quality of its information in social networks. The aim of our study was to assess the quality of ED information contained in YouTube videos.

Material And Methods: Descriptive study of the first 50 Spanish-language videos, published on YouTube, evaluated by three urologists.

Quality of bladder cancer information on YouTube.

Introduction: YouTube is one of the social networks most widely used as a source of information. However, there are doubts about the scientific quality of the information available. This study aims to characterise this by analysing videos about bladder cancer posted on YouTube.

[Effectiveness and safety of intravesical hyaluronic acid for symptom control in chronic bladder diseases.].

Introduction: Chronic bladder disorders are a common condition. Endovesical hyaluronic acid is one of the therapeutic options for these patients. It is intended to verify the effectiveness and safety of treatment with intravesical instillations of hyaluronic acidin patients with bladder symptoms.
