In a nutshell This study investigated whether adding docetaxel (Taxotere) chemotherapy to standard hormonal therapy (HT) before radical prostatectomy (RP – prostate-removal surgery) improved the survival of men with locally advanced prostate cancer (PCa) compared to hormonal therapy alone. It concluded that the addition of...

Posted by on Jul 31, 2021 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of surgery versus radiation therapy for patients with high-grade localized prostate cancer (PCa). The study concluded that surgery was associated with improved survival compared to radiation therapy in these patients. Some background Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common...

Evaluating the association between the lowest PSA value after prostate surgery and the occurrence of biochemical recurrence in patients with localized prostate cancer

Evaluating the association between the lowest PSA value after prostate surgery and the occurrence of biochemical recurrence in patients with localized prostate cancer

Posted by on Jul 11, 2021 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study investigated the association between the lowest PSA value after radical prostatectomy (RP; surgery to remove the prostate) and the occurrence of biochemical recurrence (BCR) in patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa). The study found that a higher PSA value after RP and a shorter time to reach this...

In a nutshell This study compared the outcomes of Retzius-sparing (RS) robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) with standard RALP (sRALP) for the treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa). The study found that the RS-RALP approach may be associated with better urinary outcomes compared to sRALP. Some background...

Posted by on Jun 25, 2019 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of intermediate risk-risk prostate cancer after different treatments. This study concluded that prostate surgery might have a higher survival than radiotherapy. Some background There a several options to treat intermediate-risk prostate cancer (IR-PC). Radical prostatectomy (RP; surgery to...
