[Metastasis in testis from prostate cancer].

We present a case of an 89-year-old male diagnosed with a prostatic adenocarcinoma. He developed a metastasis to his left testis and was treated with bilateral orchiectomy. Histology showed a ductal adenocarcinoma with positive immunohistochemical markers for PSA and p501.

Prostate cancer: a review of active surveillance.

The objective of this paper is to review the current recommendations for active surveillance in prostate cancer from the present prospective studies. Worldwide, there are increasing numbers of men with prostate cancer. It is now accepted as standard care that a number of men with favorable-risk disease can be followed with active surveillance.

[18F]fluoromethylcholine (FCH) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for lymph node staging of prostate cancer: a prospective study of 210 patients.

Unlabelled: Study Type--Diagnostic (exploratory cohort) Level of Evidence 2a. What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Staging of patients with prostate cancer is the cornerstone of treatment. However, after curative intended therapy a high portion of patients relapse with local and/or distant recurrence.

Effect of endocrine treatment on voiding and prostate size in men with prostate cancer: a long-term prospective study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess and quantify changes in voiding parameters and prostate size in men with prostate cancer from before the start of endocrine treatment and during long-term follow-up.

Material And Methods: Seventy-seven patients were recruited from three clinics and followed prospectively until death, clinical deterioration making the patient unfit for participation, or the end of the study. Median age was 74 (range 54-85) years, and the median follow-up was 18 (3-90) months.

[18F]-fluorocholine positron-emission/computed tomography for lymph node staging of patients with prostate cancer: preliminary results of a prospective study.

Objectives: To evaluate prospectively [(18)F]-fluorocholine positron-emission/computed tomography (FCH PET/CT) for lymph node staging of prostate cancer before intended curative therapy, and to determine whether imaging 15 or 60 min after radiotracer injection is preferable.

Patients And Methods: In all, 25 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer (Gleason score >6, and/or a prostate-specific antigen level of >10 ng/mL, and/or T3 cancer) were scanned before lymphadenectomy. Each patient was assessed twice with imaging, at 15 and 60 min after the injection with FCH.

[Laparoscopy-assisted cryoablation of small kidney tumours].

Introduction: During the last 10 years, the number of incidentally found renal tumours has increased from 60 to 75%. Treatment modalities for these small tumours include nefron sparing surgery performed as partial nefrectomy, RFA (radio frequency ablation) or cryoablation. The purpose of this study is to present the first Danish experiences with laparoscopic assisted cryoablation of small kidney tumours.
