Personalized Surgical Management Offers Full Restitution and Unimpaired Quality of Life to Patients with Duplex Kidneys and Associated Pathologies: 30-year Follow-up at a Tertiary Referral Center.

Background: Duplex kidneys may be associated with additional pathologies with an indication for surgery. Various surgical approaches have been described. However, little is known about long-term outcomes and quality of life (QoL) for these patients.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Robot-Guided, Software Based Transperineal MRI/TRUS Fusion Biopsy of the Prostate in a High Risk Population of Previously Biopsy Negative Men.

. In this study, we compared prostate cancer detection rates between MRI-TRUS fusion targeted and systematic biopsies using a robot-guided, software based transperineal approach. .

Single fraction multimodal image guided focal salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy for recurrent prostate cancer.

Purpose: We present a novel method for treatment of locally recurrent prostate cancer (PCa) following radiation therapy: focal, multimodal image guided high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy.

Material And Methods: We treated two patients with recurrent PCa after primary (#1) or adjuvant (#2) external beam radiation therapy. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), choline, positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT), or prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-PET combined with CT identified a single intraprostatic lesion.

Splice variant transcripts of the anterior gradient 2 gene as a marker of prostate cancer.

Anterior gradient 2 (AGR2) is a gene predominantly expressed in mucus-secreting tissues or in endocrine cells. Its expression is drastically increased in tumors including prostate cancer. Here we investigated whether AGR2 transcript levels can be used as a biomarker to detect prostate cancer (PCa).
