Dosimetric evaluation and variation assessment were performed with two knowledge-based planning (KBP) models created at different periods for volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for prostate cancer at five institutes. The first and second models (F- and S-models) for KBP were created before April 2017 and April 2019, respectively. The S-model w...

The prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS) has revolutionized the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the management of prostate cancer (PCa). The most recent version 2.1, PI-RADS v2.1, provides specific refinements in the performance, relaxing some recommendations which were not found to be helpful, while reinforcing and clar...

To report the precision of a technique of measuring the PZ thickness on T2-weighted MRI and report normal parameters in patients with normal-sized prostates. We also wanted to establish the mean and second standard deviations (2SD) above and below the mean as criteria for abnormally narrow or expanded PZ thickness. Of the initial 1566 consecutive c...

Definitive therapy for prostate cancer includes radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy. Treatment is elected based on patient preference, biological tumor factors, and underlying health. Post prostatectomy, men are surveyed for disease recurrence with serial PSA measurements, digital rectal exam, and imaging studies depending on nomogram predi...

Artificial intelligence is a technique that holds promise for helping radiologists improve the care of our patients. At the same time, implementation decisions we make now can have a long-lasting effect on patient outcomes. In the following article, we discuss four areas with unique considerations for implementation of AI: bias, trust, risk, and de...

To compare the prostate removal speeds of 3 enucleation techniques and to evaluate how the operating times change depending on the prostate volume. Medical records of patients with 80-g or larger prostates who underwent holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (LSP), or open prostatectomy (OP) due to medi...

/Objective(s): Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) have both shown acceptable outcomes in the treatment of low and intermediate risk prostate cancer. Minimal data has been published directly comparing rates of biochemical control and toxicity with these two modalities. We hypothesize that LDR and SBRT wi...

Purpose of ReviewFreedom from medication is a common goal for patients undergoing surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)/lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Knowing medication discontinuation rates following various forms of transurethral prostatectomy may aid patient counseling and assessing the comparative effectiveness of diff...

BackgroundPermethrin and N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) are the pesticides and insect repellent most commonly used by humans. These pesticides have been shown to promote the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease in rats. The current study was designed as an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) to identify potential sperm DNA met...

Prostate cancer continues to be the most commonly diagnosed cancer, and the second leading cause of cancer death among Australian men. Prostate-specific antigen testing is personalised (not dichotomous in nature) and its interpretation should take into account the patient's age, symptoms, previous results and medication (eg, 5-α reductase inhibitor...
