Article Synopsis
- A study examined how prostate size affects the results of Plasmakinetic enucleation of the prostate (PkEP) for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) by reviewing data from 892 patients.
- The research identified four groups based on prostate size, noting that surgical efficiency increased with larger prostates, but complications and recovery times were similar across all groups.
- Post-surgery, improvements in symptoms and urinary function were consistent among all prostate sizes, suggesting that PkEP effectively treats BPH regardless of prostate size.
Background: Uncoordinated 51-like kinase 1 (ULK1) plays a vital role in autophagy. ULK1 dysregulation has recently been found in several human cancers.
Methods: mRNA expression levels of ULK1 and clinical information were analysed from The Cancer Genome Atlas data.
The current study is a retrospective analysis of 49 patients with bone metastatic prostate cancer: 26 receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone versus 23 receiving cytoreductive cryosurgery of the primary tumor plus ADT treatment. Progression-free survival (PFS) was the primary outcome variable, and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to identify predictors for PFS. The baseline characteristics were generally comparable between the 2 groups.
