(TNM) systems to classify prostate cancer. Many differences, however, existed between these latter two systems. In 1987, these two staging systems were combined, and the AJC/UICCTNMclassification for prostate cancer resulted (Table 8.1).5Yet, even today, many urologists believe that the TNM ...
The following patient-level and study effect modifiers were recorded to facilitate possible meta-regression for covariates: prostate-specific antigen value (PSA), age, tumour stage (TNM), and Gleason score (GS). Ongoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which is known to make PSMA-radiotracer ...
Prostate cancer, with an incidence that is correlated to age, is the most common cancer tumor diagnosed among men older than 50 years, and an even higher incidence is found among patients older than 75. It is estimated that 234,460 men will be diagnosed during 2006 and 27,350 deaths will...
reported that, for 15 patients with primary prostate cancer, PSMA PET led radiotherapy (RT) modality change in 33.3% (5/15) of all patients because TNM staging changed in 53.3% patients [164]. PSMA PET/CT led to changes in 36% of intermediate- and high-risk patients, compared with ...
the involvement of other multidisciplinary team members is essential before a definitive treatment discussion. Initial referral is commonly from the general practitioner. Diagnosis involves histology and radiology, while treatment may involve a radiation oncologist or a full surgical team, including recovery...
Pathologic TNM stage was determined according to the 2010 TNM classification. The prostatic tumor volume was calculated as the sum of the tumor areas on HE slides (cm2)× section thickness (0.3 cm) × 1.33. Statistical analysis All demographic data, including continuous and variables, was ...
