Introduction: Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (Ga-PSMA PET) is being increasingly used in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) for the staging and detection of lymph node (LN) metastases, despite a lack of prospective, validated evidence. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the PSMA PET findings (maximum standardized uptake [SUV] value) and the final histopathology results (Gleason Grade [GG], and LN positivity) in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.
Methods: This is a single centre, prospective, observational study of 63 consecutive eligible patients treated at a tertiary care centre in India.

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes and efficacy of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) using the Versius robotic surgical system, aiming to provide comprehensive data on perioperative outcomes, postoperative recovery, and complications.
Patient And Methods: All cases of RARP using the CMR Versius platform performed at Cairo University Hospital over a two-year period were enrolled in this study. All patients had pathologically confirmed prostate cancer in both localized and locally advanced stages.

Oligorecurrent prostate cancer (PCa) can be treated with metastasis-directed therapy (MDT), which may be performed using radioguided surgery (RGS) as an experimental approach. These procedures have shown promising outcomes, largely due to the high lesion detection rate of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). We present a case series of patients who underwent RGS following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Methods: This study included 2986 men who underwent biopsies at two institutions. We trained the PROstate Cancer detection on B-mode transrectal UltraSound images NETwork (ProCUSNet) to determine whether ultrasound can reliably detect cancer.
