Variability in prostate cancer detection among radiologists and urologists using MRI fusion biopsy.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of radiologist and urologist variability on detection of prostate cancer (PCa) and clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) fusion prostate biopsies.

Patients And Methods: The Prospective Loyola University MRI (PLUM) Prostate Biopsy Cohort (January 2015 to December 2020) was used to identify men receiving their first MRI and MRI/TRUS fusion biopsy for suspected PCa. Clinical, MRI and biopsy data were stratified by radiologist and urologist to evaluate variation in Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) grading, lesion number and cancer detection.

Does size matter? Comparing robotic versus open radical nephrectomy for very large renal masses.

Introduction: We evaluated perioperative and mortality outcomes of robotic-assisted radical nephrectomy (RRN) vs. open radical nephrectomy (ORN) for very large renal cell carcinomas (RCC).

Materials And Methods: Adult patients with non-metastatic RCC >10 cm in size (pT2b) were identified from the National Cancer Database (2010-2017).

Synchronous Artificial Urinary Sphincter and Inflatable Penile Prosthesis Implantation: Short-Term Outcomes from a Statewide Claims Database.

Purpose: The 2 most common adverse effects of radical prostatectomy are erectile dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence which often require surgical management with penile prosthesis (PP) and artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation, respectively. There are conflicting reports regarding whether these procedures should be combined into 1 surgical setting or staged. We sought to evaluate the safety of performing these procedures in the same operative setting.
