Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) to avoid misclassification of patients with clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa) into active surveillance (AS).
Materials And Methods: Patients with Gleason grade group (GG) 1 PCa on systematic biopsy who underwent mpMRI before radical prostatectomy (RP) were included. mpMRI and pathologic results were compared between the AS and NOT-AS candidates.
We investigated the clinical characteristics of patients with varicocele according to the presence or absence of scrotal pain. We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who underwent varicocelectomy. The age, body mass index, grade, laterality of varicocele, testicular volume difference, time to hospital visit, serum testosterone level and semen parameters were evaluated.
