Garnick discussed the early treatment of metastatic prostate cancer, total androgen blockade, and the cost of 1 year of flutamide therapy. He stated that 165 000 new cases of prostate cancer are expected to be diagnosed in the United States in 1993, with 25% of patients presenting with stage...
A Study of Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Men with Untreated Localised Prostate Cancer on Active Surveillance Tumour apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) may be a useful marker of prostate cancer behaviour, ...

Men with localized prostate cancer who opt for surgery instead of surveillance are more than twice as likely to regret their decision.
PCN13 COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS OF APREPITANT IN THE PREVENTION OF CHEMOTHERAPY-INDUCED NAUSEA AND VOMITING IN PATIENTS RECEIVING EITHER CISPLATIN-BASED ... Purpose Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCN) management consists of non-invasive imaging studies (CT, MRI), with a high resource burden. We aimed...
Upper tract cancer on initial evaluation resulted in confirmatory testing consisting of ureteroscopy, CT, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) depending on the initial diagnostic modality. False-positive findings for lower tract cancer resulted in confirmatory testing consisting of cystoscopy and biopsy. ...
Transrectal (TR) and transperineal (TP) approaches for prostate biopsy have different morbidity profiles. Our institution transitioned to a preference for multiparametric MRI-based triage and TP biopsy since 2014. The aim of this study was to compare clinical, microbiological and health economic outcome...
