If the PSA level before the prostatectomy was > 10 ng/ml few patients had an undetectable PSA at 5 years. However, clinical local control was excellent and the actuarial cancer-specific survival rate at 8 years was 85%.;Salvage radical prostatectomy is a technically challenging procedure and ...
Chicago-Patients under 65 years of age are more likely to return to baselinecontinence, potency, and physical health 1 year after radical prostatectomy,according to results from a multicenter study presented yesterday. Also,RP patients without comorbidities and those with high health self-ratingsare...
Importance No prior trial has compared hypofractionated postprostatectomy radiotherapy (HYPORT) to conventionally fractionated postprostatectomy (COPORT) in patients primarily treated with prostatectomy. Objective To determine if HYPORT is noninferior to COPORT for patient-reported genitourinary (GU) and ...
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Due to improved diagnostic tools salvage surgery is getting more popular after failure of primary local treatment as radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy. We analyzed PSA progression free survival (PFS) afte... D Pfister,Y Pullankavumkal,F Haidl - 《Journal of Urology...
The addition of 24 months of androgen-deprivation therapy to postoperative radiotherapy after radical prostatectomy provided a metastasis-free survival benefit and improved the time to salvage therapy in patients with prostate cancer, according to the preliminary results from theRADICALS-HD trial... ...
Previously patient reported quality of life (QOL) was reported in men with prostate cancer a mean 2 and 6 years post treatment with open radical prostatectomy (RP), 3D conformal radiation therapy (3D CRT), or 125I low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy (BT). Herein we update the results 15 ...
prostatectomy include preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, tumor stage, Gleason’s score, and surgical margin status [3,4]. While these predictors are often used for determining BCR-free survival probabilities following radical prostatectomy [4], they are nonmodifiable characteristics of...
Radical cystoprostatectomy is the current standard procedure for locally confined bladder cancer; however, a major drawback of this approach remains the frequently ensuing postoperative erectile dysfunction (ED). This aspect represents a frequent cause of fear and concern for patients and their partners...
