Filter by:Background: Prostate biopsies are essential to diagnose prostate cancer (PCa). Transrectal prostate biopsies (TR-PB) are commonly performed, however disadvantages include the requirement of antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) and higher complication rates than transperineal prostate biopsies (TP-PB). Guidelines still recommend the use of AP for TP-PB due to the limited evidence regarding complication rates after their omission. However, the rising rates of antibiotic resistance is of concern. The aim of this study was to compare the complication and detection rates of freehand TP-PB without AP versus TR-PB with AP. Methods: This single center retrospective study was performed in an academic hospital. TP-PB were introduced in 2019 and implemented as the main technique by late 2020. To compare the two techniques, data was collected for freehand TR-PB with AP between 2017-2018 and freehand TP-PB without AP between 2021-2022. The data from 2019 and 2020 were excluded to rule out the effects of the initial learning curve during the transition period. Primary outcome measure was post-biopsy complications occurring within 2 weeks, focusing on infectious complications. Secondary outcome measures were detection rates and upgrading/reclassification in the repeat biopsy in active surveillance (AS). Statistical analysis was performed using a Fisher exact or Chi-Squared test.
The goal of this observational study was to compare the perioperative outcomes, postoperative urinary control rates and positive surgical margin (PSM) rates of the robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy combined anterior and posterior approach (AP-RARP) with the Retzius-sparing approach (RS-RARP) and anterior approach (anterior-RARP) in the treatment of prostate cancer. The main question it aims to answer was: • The early therapeutic efficacy of the robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy combined anterior and posterior approach Participants has been underwent: - AP-RARP - RS-RARP - anterior-RARP Researchers compared the three groups to see if AP-RARP combines the advantages of anterior and posterior RARP and is a feasible surgical option for the treatment of prostate cancer.
Study Design : A randomized, open-label, four-sequence, four-period, crossover, single dosing, phase 1 study
To optimize precision for secondary resection (SR) in frozen section (FS) controlled nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (NS-RARP) by using a personalized 3D-printed prostate model.
This phase III trial determines how well the Minority Prostate Cancer (MiCaP) Research Digest works in providing information to black men about the latest prostate cancer research. MiCaP Research Digest may be an effective method to help people learn about prostate cancer.This goal of this trial is to create educational programming that helps Black men make informed decisions about their prostate healthcare since Black men are diagnosed with prostate cancer more than any other race or ethnicity.
The study team will evaluate the impact of video characteristics on health consumers' trust in online videos. Participants will be randomized to watch a video by one of four speakers about prostate cancer screening or clinical trials and complete a questionnaire (approximately 15 minutes total).
This is a prospective pilot study to evaluate the mean increase of bowel symptoms after pelvic radiotherapy (RT) in prostate cancer (PCa) patient using the validated & newly translated EORTC-QLQ PRT20 module.
Single dose versus double dose tamsulosin in Management of Moderate and severe lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia
The aim of this study was therefore to investigate a new unrolled DL super resolution reconstruction of an initially low-resolution Cartesian T2 turbo spin echo sequence (T2 TSE) and compare it qualitatively and quantitatively to standard high-resolution Cartesian and non-Cartesian T2 TSE sequences in the setting of prostate mpMRI with particular interest in image sharpness, conspicuity of lesions and acquisition time. Furthermore, the investigators assessed the agreement of assigned PI-RADS scores between deep learning super resolution and standard sequences.
The overall goal is to provide an innovative approach to restage patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer by using hybrid PET/MR with innovative radiotracers (68Ga-PSMA and 68Ga-RM2)
