Background: Cyclin D1 is a key protein involved in cell cycle regulation. A common A870G single nucleotide polymorphism in exon 4 of the cyclin D1 gene (CCND1) has an effect on the transcription of two different cyclin D1 mRNAs. Association of the genetic polymorphism of A870G of CCND1 with several cancer risks has been reported.

Materials And Methods: We performed a case-control study consisting of 99 familial prostate cancer cases and 115 noncancer controls to examine the genotypic frequency of the CCND1 polymorphism.

Results: We did not observe a significant association of the genotypic frequency of CCND1 with overall cases and controls. However, the AA genotype of CCND1 showed a tendency to increase prostate cancer risk in subjects aged 70 years or older (odds ratio [OR] = 2.14, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.86-5.27, p = 0.096). Stratification of cases according to clinical stages showed that the AA genotype was significantly frequently observed in metastatic cancer in comparison with GG + AG genotypes (OR = 3.03, 95% CI = 1.11-8.23, p = 0.026).

Conclusion: The present study suggested that the genetic polymorphism might be associated with familial prostate cancer risk in a Japanese population.

Aim: To investigate the predictive value of lesion length in multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging with respect to prostate volume for clinically significant prostate cancer diagnosis in targeted biopsies.

Materials And Methods: The data of biopsy-naïve patients in the Turkish Urooncology Association Prostate Cancer Database who underwent targeted prostate biopsies were included in this study. Lesion density is calculated as the ratio of lesion length (mm) in MR to prostate volume (cc).

Background: Despite providing valuable staging and prognostic information, the therapeutic benefit of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) remains uncertain. We sought to assess the effect of extended PLND (ePLND) on the biochemical recurrence (BCR) of patients with National Comprehensive Cancer Net (NCCN) high- or very high-risk prostate cancer treated via robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Methods: We used a multi-institutional database (six centers) to assess 989 patients who underwent RARP from 2014 to 2022 with or without ePLND, among which 699 patients underwent BCR analysis.

Background: It has been more than a decade since fusion prostate biopsy (FPB) has been used in the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). Therefore, patients with a previous history of negative FPB and ongoing suspicion of PCa are beginning to emerge. This study investigated whether the first biopsy type (standard or fusion) should be effective in deciding on a second biopsy.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with the risk of developing prostate cancer (PCa) through a population-based study.

Materials And Methods: Male patients aged ≥40 years, diagnosed with IBD from 2010 to 2013 and without IBD were identified and followed-up till 2019. A matched cohort of male patients with and without IBD in a ratio of 1:4 was created based on age, income level, and Charlson comorbidity index.
