Published: November 1995

Purpose: The prognostic value of prostate involvement in patients with superficial bladder cancer was analyzed.

Materials And Methods: We studied 96 patients with prostate involvement. Taking progression-free survival rate as an end point, univariate and multivariate analyses were done.

Results: The presence or absence of bladder carcinoma in situ is related to poor and good prognoses, respectively (p < 0.001). Stromal invasion (p < 0.001) and pan-urothelial involvement (p = 0.03) were also identified as independent factors of poor prognosis.

Conclusions: Patients with tumor limited to the mucosa can be treated conservatively. Cystoprostatectomy can be performed in patients with ductal involvement. The prognosis of patients with stromal invasion is poor despite radical treatment.

Cancer is a major global health issue that is usually treated with multiple therapies, such as chemotherapy and targeted therapies like immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a new and alternative approach to treating various types of cancer that are difficult to treat with other methods. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown promise for long-term efficacy, they have limited effectiveness in common cancer types such as breast, prostate, and lung.

Prostate cancer presents a major health issue, with its progression influenced by intricate molecular factors. Notably, the interplay between miRNAs and changes in transcriptomic patterns is not fully understood. Our study seeks to bridge this knowledge gap, employing computational techniques to explore how miRNAs and transcriptomic alterations jointly regulate the development of prostate cancer.

Purposes: The presence of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) is equivocal for patients with prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS) category 3. We aim to develop deep learning models for re-stratify risks in PI-RADS category 3 patients.

Methods: This retrospective study included a bi-parametric MRI of 1567 consecutive male patients from six centers (Centers 1-6) between Jan 2015 and Dec 2020.

Background And Objective: A gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist such as leuprolide is widely used to achieve sustained suppression of testosterone levels, which play a critical role in the treatment of prostate cancer. Recent advances in drug delivery systems have led to the development of long-acting depot formulations, such as the 6-month intramuscular (IM) leuprolide formulation, which aim to simplify dosing and improve convenience for both patients and healthcare providers. Exploring extended dosing intervals for such formulations represents a promising approach to further optimize treatment regimens, potentially balancing efficacy with patient-centered care.
