Clinical risk prediction model and external validation of positive surgical margin in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy based on MRI lesion location
ConclusionThe positive rate of surgical margin in middle PZ was significantly lower than that in other regions, and MRI lesion location was an independent risk factor for PSM. (Source: Clinical and Translational Oncology)

Robot-assisted vs open retropubic radical prostatectomy: a propensity score-matched comparative analysis based on 15 years and 18,805 patients
ConclusionBoth RARP and ORP yielded similar oncological outcomes. RARP offered a slight advantage in terms of continence recovery, but its clinical significance may be less meaningful. RARP resulted in significantly improved postoperative EF, suggesting a potential influence of both surgical experience and minimally invasive approach. (Source: World Journal of Urology)

Evaluating the relationship between contouring variability and modelled treatment outcome for prostate bed radiotherapy
This study focused on post-prostatectomy radiotherapy and aimed to 1) identify if there is a relationship between variations in commonly used contouring similarity metrics and resulting dosimetry and 2) identify the variation in clinical target volume (CTV) contouring that significantly impacts dosimetry.APPROACH: The study retrospectively analysed CT scans of 10 patients from the TROG 08.03 RAVES trial. The CTV, rectum, and bladder were contoured independently by three experienced observers. Using these contours reference simultaneous truth and performance level estimation (STAPLE) volumes were established. Additional CTV...

Association between 3D membranous urethral parameters and urinary continence recovery after RARP
ConclusionThis clinical study shows that patients with larger MUV and longer MUL can return to UC earlier after surgery. Among that, eMUV is a better predictor. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

Patients experience with the use of a penile clamp in post-prostatectomy incontinence - a prospective pilot study
CONCLUSION: The penile clamp shows promising results in reducing leakage with minimal risks of complications. It can be used as a treatment for patients awaiting surgery. However, patient selection is important regarding hand function, cognitive function and the penile anatomy.PMID:38462945 | DOI:10.2340/sju.v59.9586 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Urology)

Late genitourinary toxicity in salvage radiotherapy for prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy: impact of daily fraction doses
CONCLUSION: The present results showed that ≥2.1 Gy/fraction resulted in a higher incidence of late grade ≥2 GU toxicity in SRT.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: The impact of fraction doses on late GU toxicity after SRT remains unknown. The results suggest that higher fraction doses may increase the risk of late GU toxicity in SRT.PMID:38466928 | DOI:10.1093/bjr/tqae055 (Source: The British Journal of Radiology)

Morphologic features of prostate cancer-encased native vessels: An image analysis study
CONCLUSIONS: Similar to the 2000 study, increased media thickness and hypercellularity of vessels encased by PC were evident compared to controls. Borderline grade-dependent increased vessel cellularity changes were seen, suggesting a possible role in PC progression; the predictive value of these changes for outcome is uncertain. Whether the etiology of changes reflects locally increased intravascular pressure of vessels within tumor should be investigated.PMID:38461692 | DOI:10.1016/j.prp.2024.155239 (Source: Pathology, Research and Practice)
