Comparing Retzius-sparing and conventional robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for men with localized prostate cancer

Comparing Retzius-sparing and conventional robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for men with localized prostate cancer

Posted by on Jun 5, 2022 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This review compared the outcomes of 2 techniques for robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP; complete removal of the prostate gland using robotic arms): Retzius-sparing (RS)-RARP and conventional (C)-RARP in patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa). The analysis showed that RS-RARP was associated with improved urinary...

In a nutshell The study compared the effectiveness and safety outcomes of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) with either apalutamide (Erleada) or darolutamide (Nubeqa) for the treatment of non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The data showed that apalutamide plus ADT was safe and more effective in improving...

In a nutshell This study compared the outcomes between radical prostatectomy (RP; prostate-removal surgery) and different types of radiotherapy (RT) in older patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa). The study found that RT offers similar cancer-specific outcomes to RP for low- to intermediate-risk patients. Some background...

In a nutshell This study compared 2 approaches of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for the treatment of localized prostate cancer (PCa). The authors concluded that both transvesical (T) and posterior (P) approaches had similar results in these patients. Some background Localized prostate cancer (PCa) is cancer that is...

In a nutshell This study compared the outcomes of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with standard laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) for the treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer. The study found that the RARP approach was associated with better outcomes compared to LRP. Some background Localized prostate cancer (PCa)...

Long-term outcomes of focal cryotherapy in low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer.

Posted by on Jun 5, 2021 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study looked at the use of focal cryotherapy (FC) for the treatment of low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PC). The authors found that the use of FC was safe and increased time to further therapy with similar survival compared to active surveillance (AS).  Some background PC is one of the most common forms of...

Comparing cryosurgery and hormonal therapy for locally recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy

Comparing cryosurgery and hormonal therapy for locally recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy

Posted by on Jun 4, 2020 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study compared local cryosurgery (CRYO) against androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for the treatment of locally recurring prostate cancer (LRPC). The study found local cryosurgery had a longer overall survival (OS) when compared to ADT. Some background LRPC is cancer that has re-occurred in the prostate gland...

Searching for patients to try a radiation treatment strategy for prostate cancer.

Posted by on Dec 20, 2019 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This trial is examining the effectiveness of ultra-high-dose hypofractionated or single-dose radiotherapy for intermediate (medium) risk prostate cancer. The main outcome that will be measured will be the number of patients that experience side effects. This study is being conducted in New York City, NY, the US. The details...
