Background: Urodynamic evidence of storage dysfunction such as detrusor overactivity (DO) and/or poor compliance are present in up to 30-40% of patients after Radical Prostatectomy (RP).

Methods: We performed a systematic search of the literature including articles on patients undergoing SUI surgery after prostatectomy with preoperative DO between January 2003 and May 2023 to ensure contemporaneous data was obtained.

  • The study showed that using PARP inhibitors with radiotherapy also boosts the immune system, allowing it to attack the cancer cells better, which could be an important new treatment for kids with DMG.
