Background: Post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (pcRPLND) is integral to multimodal treatment of patients with metastatic non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT). We review pathologic and long-term outcomes of pcRPLND following first-line chemotherapy with a focus on residual mass size and primary tumor histology. Our goal was to identify new predictive approaches that can refine surgical indications.

Our aim was to determine which patients with GG 2 cancer should undergo cBx before treatment decision-making by evaluating the probability of downgrading to GG 1 or no cancer on cBx.
Methods: This was a single-institution retrospective analysis of patients with GG 2 prostate cancer who underwent cBx.
Article Synopsis
- Erectile dysfunction (ED) can occur in men who have had bilateral nerve-sparing surgery, with corporo-venocclusive dysfunction (CVOD) being a primary cause of permanent ED after radical prostatectomy (RP).
- A study examined comorbidity factors linked to CVOD in men without prior ED who underwent RP, finding significant associations with increased age and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
- The research highlights that comorbidities, particularly OSA, influence recovery of erectile function post-surgery; however, the findings may not apply broadly to all patients, as the study focused on men already seeking treatment for ED.
Background And Objective: Lymph node dissection (LND) has been standard in cancer surgery for more than a century, yet evidence from randomized trials showing a benefit is scarce. We conducted a clinically integrated randomized trial comparing limited versus extended pelvic LND (PLND) during radical prostatectomy and previously reported comparable biochemical recurrence (BCR) rates. We report updated BCR rates and compare rates of metastasis between the study arms.
