Objective: To report the treatment and clinical monitoring in patients with prostatic evanescent carcinoma at Hospital Carlos Andrade Marin.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 148 patients undergoing by robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in Carlos Andrade Marin hospital. The cases reported between January 2016 to December 2018. The diagnosis was carried by taking a transrectal prostate biopsy with 12 cylinders. This samples are studied by the pathologist who reviews the radical prostatectomy surgery.
Results: Three patients had prostatic evanescent carcinoma, which those cases showed Gleason 6 (3+3) prostate cancer. Two received neoadjuvant hormone therapy and the other patient presented minor tumor invasion in 1 out of 12 cylinders used during the biopsy. In the three cases, after the sample analysis, there was no residual tumor evidence. Therefore, they were classified as pT10.
Conclusions: In this study, the results obtained from the patients studied presents the incidence of prostatic evanescent carcinoma is 2%. The combination of these different factors such as clinical status, preoperative PSA, number of positive cylinders and the invasion percentage, additionally to the usage of neoadjuvant hormone therapy prior the radical prostatectomy can help to predict evanescent carcinoma of the prostate.

Objective: To determine the incidence and clinical and histopathological characteristics of patients with prostatic evanescent carcinoma in the Urology Department of the Hospital Universitario de Caracas.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 257 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for a previous diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma in the period January 2010 to June 2016.
Results: Four patients had evanescent carcinoma corresponding to 1.
Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy benefits from high-sensitivity, low background noise, low photo-toxicity and high-contrast imaging of sub-cellular structures close to the membrane surface. Although, TIRF microscopy provides high-contrast imaging it does not provide quantitative information about morphological features of the biological cells. Here, we propose an integrated waveguide chip-based TIRF microscopy and label-free quantitative phase imaging (QPI).
