The role of neoadjuvant and adjuvant hormonal or chemotherapy-based treatments before or after radical prostatectomy in localized or locally advanced high-risk prostate cancer (PCa) is currently debatable. European guidelines recommend adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) only in pN1 patients after extended pelvic lymph node dissection based on outdated evidence on standard hormonal agents. The introduction of new-generation androgen receptor targeting agents (ARTAs) has revolutionized the treatment of metastatic PCa and might also impact the perioperative management of patients with high-risk localized disease.

Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed drugs that have been associated with increased prostate cancer (PCa) cell proliferation in vitro and worse oncological outcomes in vivo. However, data on their influence on PSA levels in the general population are lacking.
Methods: We extracted individual participant data from the 2001-2010 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), in which PSA levels were measured in all male participants aged 40 years or older.

Objective: To assess the oncological outcomes of patients with high-risk (HR) and very high-risk (VHR) non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) treated with upfront radical cystectomy (RC) vs Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) instillations from a contemporary European multicentre cohort.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1491 patients diagnosed with HR- or VHR-NMIBC from a European multicentre database between 2015 and 2024. Patients were included if they received either upfront RC or at least five doses of BCG.

To compare surgical outcomes and sperm retrieval rates (SRRs) between conventional microsurgical-assisted testicular sperm extraction (m-TeSE-Group A) and testicular sperm extraction performed with surgical loupes (l-TeSE-Group B) in adult males with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). A multicentric prospective randomized trial (ethics committee no. 202/2022) in accordance with the CONSORT guidelines was conducted from March 2022 to April 2024.
