Extended pelvic lymph node dissection in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is an independent risk factor for major complications
AbstractThe aim of this study is to evaluate the major postoperative complication rate after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and to identify related risk factors.  A consecutive series of patients who underwent RARP between September 2016 and May 2021, with or without extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) were analyzed for postoperative complications that occurred within 30 days following surgery. Potential risk factors related to complications were identified by means of a multivariate logistic analysis. Electronic medical records were retrospectively reviewed for the occurrence of major complications...

Effect of Pilates combined with pelvic floor muscle training on continence of post-prostatectomy incontinence in patients with different body mass index
CONCLUSIONS: Pelvic floor muscle training can affect the recovery of urinary continence in patients with different BMI. Maintaining a lower BMI can be beneficial for improving urinary control.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Date of trial registration: November 27, 2023.PMID:38549067 | DOI:10.1186/s12894-024-01451-6 (Source: Cancer Control)

Evaluation of URO17 to improve non-invasive detection of bladder cancer
CONCLUSION: Limitations include cross-sectional design and convenience sampling. URO17 may improve sensitivity of urine cytology in the detection of urothelial cancer, though further study is required to refine the application of this biomarker in clinical practice.PMID:38553264 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.02.012 (Source: Cancer Control)

Is there an indication for local treatment in metastasised hormone-sensitive prostate cancer?
Aktuelle Urol. 2024 Apr;55(2):134-138. doi: 10.1055/a-2175-3159. Epub 2024 Mar 27.ABSTRACTIn case of newly diagnosed metastasised hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, there are two indications for local treatment: to reduce or avoid local symptoms thus improving quality of life and prolonging survival in a subset of patients. Local treatment must be seen in a multimodal treatment approach and is not a replacement of systemic treatment. In the following review, we highlight the current literature for the different local treatment options, radiotherapy and radical prostatectomy, and try to give indications for which option sho...
