This study assessed the impact of dosimetry to both the target and normal tissue when either bony anatomy (BA) or prostate (PRO) was used as surrogates for image guidance for pelvis and prostate radiotherapy using a dose accumulation process. Thirty patients who were prescribed 50-54Gy to the pelvic lymph nodes (PLN) and 78Gy to the prostate/semina...

Objective To assess the association between prostate volume index (PVI), and prostatic chronic inflammation (PCI) as predictors of prostate cancer (PCA). PVI is the ratio between the central transition zone volume (CTZV) and the peripheral zone volume (PZV). Materials and methods Parameters evaluated included age, prostate specific antigen (PSA), t...

Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P), a clinicopathological entity characterized by malignant prostatic epithelial cells growing within ducts and/or acini, has a distinct architectural pattern, cytological features, and biological behavior. Whereas most IDC-P tumors could be derived from adjacent high-grade invasive cancer via retrograde s...

Lymph node metastases (pN1) at prostatectomy are infrequent but impact prognosis. Traditional prostate nomograms assess age, serum prostatic-specific antigen (PSA), clinical stage, and biopsy parameters to inform decisions on pelvic lymph node dissection. The impact of intraductal carcinoma (IDC) and cribriform pattern 4 (CC) on nodal metastases ha...

Hormonal and vascular changes affecting the canine prostate after castration were investigated to identify the effects of hormones and perfusion on the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Concentrations of serum testosterone and estrogen and intraprostatic dihydrotestosterone (DHT) were compared between 5 normal dogs, 6 dogs with mil...

Gleason score 7 prostate cancer with a higher proportion of pattern 4 (G4) has been linked to genomic heterogeneity and poorer patient outcome. The current assessment of G4 proportion uses estimation by a pathologist, with a higher proportion of G4 more likely to trigger additional imaging and treatment over active surveillance. This estimation met...

Urology Case Reports
Sarcomatoid carcinomas are a rare type of prostate cancer and are associated with a poor prognosis. We present the case of an 80-year-old gentleman who presented with rectal bleeding and his CT scan revealed an incidental pelvic cystic mass. He initially underwent attempted ultrasound-guided drainage and transurethral resection for this. Definitive...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common cause of lower urinary tract symptoms in the elderly male population, has conventionally treated by transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). During recent years, newer minimally invasive therapies (MITs) have entered the playing field and challenged TURP with their convenience, lack of sexual side...

Radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is the standard of care for unfavorable risk prostate cancer. We investigated dissection practice patterns and their impact on overall survival using a large national database. Men with prostate adenocarcinoma diagnosed between 2004 and 2013 were identified from the National Cancer Data...

Biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) combined with prostate-specific antigen density (PSAd) may be an effective strategy for selecting men for prostate biopsy. It has been shown that performing biopsy only for men with bpMRI Likert scores of 4-5 or PSAd ≥0.15 ng/ml/cm3 is the most efficient strategy. To externally validate previously pub...
