National trends of surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia in Finland
CONCLUSION: The implementation of PVP did not challenge the dominating position of TURP in Finland, but it has probably influenced the overall use of other surgical therapies, excluding transurethral incision of the prostate. The results might suggest that the conservative treatment is accentuated, patient selection is more thorough, and surgical intervention might be placed at a later stage of BPO.PMID:38647246 | DOI:10.2340/sju.v59.32425 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Urology)

The impact of mpMRI-targeted vs systematic biopsy on the risk of prostate cancer downgrading at final pathology
ConclusionsDowngrading rates are highest when PCa is present in TBx only and, especially when the highest grade PCa is diagnosed by TBx cores only. Conversely, downgrading rates are lowest when PCa is identified with the same ISUP through both SBx and TBx. The presence of clinically significant disease at SBx + TBx may indicate a more reliable assessment of the disease at the time of biopsy potentially reducing the risk of downgrading at final pathology.
