Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Transurethral Ultrasound Ablation of Prostate Cancer.

Purpose: Magnetic resonance imaging-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation uses directional thermal ultrasound under magnetic resonance imaging thermometry feedback control for prostatic ablation. We report 12-month outcomes from a prospective multicenter trial (TACT).

Materials And Methods: A total of 115 men with favorable to intermediate risk prostate cancer across 13 centers were treated with whole gland ablation sparing the urethra and apical sphincter.

[Targeted biopsies using magnetic resonance imaging/ultrasonograpgy fusion compared with sistematic biopsies prostate cancer detection. Initial experience.].

Objective: To describe the initial experiencein our center on targeted prostate biopsies (TB) using Magnetic Resonance imaging/ultrasonography (MRI/US) fusion and to compare PCa detection with systematic biopsies (SB).

Patients And Me Thods: A retrospective, descriptive and comparative study was conducted on the first 94 men who underwent TB using MRU/US fusion in our center since February 2017 to March 2018. All patients underwent a protocol of 6-12 cores of systematic biopsies (SB) (except 9) and 2-6 targeted coreson the MRI index lesion.

Management of urethral recurrence in patients with Studer ileal neobladder.

Objective: The overall risk of urethral recurrence (UR) of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) in patients with orthotopic neobladder ranges from 2% to 6%. We are presenting herein our experience in order to evaluate and define the management of these patients, since the cases with urethral recurrence in patients with orthotopic neobladder are very scarce.

Materials And Methods: Five hundred and sixteen radical cystectomies due to TCC were performed at our Centre between January 1990 and February 1998.
