The STONE score can help diagnose urolithiasis and decrease the use of CT scans
Commentary on: Moore CL, Bomann S, Daniels B, et al.. Derivation and validation of a clinical prediction rule for uncomplicated ureteral stone—the STONE score: retrospective and prospective observational cohort studies. BMJ 2014;348:g2191. Context In the USA, symptomatic nephrolithiasis leading to flank or kidney pain is responsible for over two million annual visits to the emergency department, amounting to a burden on the country's healthcare system of over $5 billion (£3 billion) annually.1 CT is the most accurate imaging modality for the evaluation of suspected acute renal colic due to its superior sensitiv...

Radical prostatectomy reduces prostate cancer-specific mortality among men with intermediate-grade disease, but provides minimal benefit for men with low-grade and high-grade disease
Commentary on: Bill-Axelson A, Holmberg L, Garmo H, et al.. Radical prostatectomy or watchful waiting in early prostate cancer. N Eng J Med 2014;370:932–42. Context As a consequence of testing for prostate-specific antigen (PSA), over 130 000 American men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. A significant majority of these men harbour localised disease. The recent update of the Scandinavian Prostate Cancer Group Study Number 4 (SPCG-4) by Bill-Axelson and colleagues provides significant new data that carry important practical implications for contemporary practice. Methods The SPCG-4 was initiated in th...

Extensive scheduled CT and CEA follow-up are equivalent in detecting recurrent colorectal cancer that is surgically treatable with curative intent, and superior to minimal follow up
Commentary on: Primrose JN, Perera R, Gray A, et al.; FACS Trial Investigators. Effect of 3 to 5 years of scheduled CEA and CT follow-up to detect recurrence of colorectal cancer: the FACS randomised clinical trial. JAMA 2014;311:263–70. Context Recurrence after attempted curative colorectal cancer surgery remains problematic with up to 50% developing metastases by 5 years.1 More aggressive surgical approaches likely improve prognosis,2 and there is a reasonable assumption that early detection by intensive patient follow-up improves outcomes. Two meta-analysis suggest regular measurement of carcinoembryonic anti...
