Performance of cognitive vs. image-guided fusion biopsy for detection of overall and clinically significant prostate cancer in a multiethnic population
CONCLUSIONS: CFB and IGFB offer similar detection rates of cs-CaP in a multiethnic population. CFB represents an effective and accessible means of accurately diagnosing prostate cancer.PMID:38114350 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2023.11.005 (Source: Urologic Oncology)

Rational use of Ga-68 PSMA PET-CT according to nomograms and risk groups for the detection of lymph node metastasis in prostate cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Patients in the D'Amico high-risk group and those with high nomogram scores are the best candidates who will benefit from preoperative PSMA PET-CT staging to estimate lymph node metastasis.PMID:38114351 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2023.11.006 (Source: Urologic Oncology)

Contemporary sex-specific analysis of the association of marital status with cancer-specific mortality in primary urethral carcinoma patients
CONCLUSIONS: Married status was associated with lower CSM in PUC patients. However, this benefit applies to female PUC patients, but not to their male counterparts.PMID:38101989 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2023.10.013 (Source: Urologic Oncology)

Antibiotic use reduces the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with urothelial carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Antibiotic use significantly reduced OS and PFS in UC patients receiving ICI. While antibiotics remain crucial for the treatment of infections in UC patients, antibiotics should be prescribed cautiously in UC patients receiving ICI.PATIENT SUMMARY: Antibiotic use is associated with worsened survival in UC patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors.PMID:38101990 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2023.11.017 (Source: Urologic Oncology)

Exploring the opportunities and challenges of implementing artificial intelligence in healthcare: A systematic literature review
This study aimed to synthesize empirical studies on the challenges and opportunities of using AI by conducting a systematic review. We reviewed 33 articles published between 2015 and 2022 in the PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and Science Direct databases. The results show that artificial intelligence has the promise of improving health care and faces obstacles when implemented. Most of the reviewed studies indicated that the use of AI provides several opportunities, including teamwork and decision-making, technological advancement, diagnosis and patient monitoring, drug development, and virtual health assistance. However, the findin...
