Real-world Clinical Outcomes and Prognostic Factors in Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer.

Background: Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) encompasses pure NEPC and tumors with mixed adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine histology. While NEPC is thought to confer a poor prognosis, outcome data are sparse, making risk stratification and treatment decisions difficult for clinicians.

Methods: This retrospective study identified patients with morphological and/or immunohistochemical NEPC features on pathological review of high-grade prostate cancer cases.

Time to surgery for acute uncomplicated appendicitis in an adult university teaching hospital.

Aims: Both patient and hospital-related factors determine the timing of appendicectomy for acute uncomplicated appendicitis. Recent literature suggests appendicectomy more than 24 h after hospital admission is associated with increased morbidity in adults. Current guidelines from the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) recommend surgery within this timeframe to reduce the risk of complications.
