Surgical Approach Not Tied to Decision Regret After Prostatectomy
Functional and oncologic outcomes, autonomous decision-making, and follow-up time influence regret.
Prostatectomy
Individualized Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Improves Post Prostatectomy-Related Incontinence, Pain
A retrospective chart review demonstrated that pelvic floor muscle training can help relieve prostatectomy-related incontinence and pain in men with prostate cancer.
Prostate Cancer Treatment Side Effects Worse With Prostatectomy
In a study, localized prostate cancer patients reported clinically meaningful differences in urinary, bowel, sexual, and hormonal function by management option up to 5 years of follow-up.
Guidelines Updated for Radiotherapy After Prostatectomy
Updates include adjuvant radiotherapy for patients with adverse pathologic findings, hormonal therapies.
Prostate Cancer Mortality Lowest With Radical Prostatectomy
In a study with a follow-up period of 18 years, men treated with any other modality but radical prostatectomy had higher prostate cancer death risks.
Early Post-RP Complications Directly Related to Age
The risk of virtually all early postoperative complications increases with increasing patient age at radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer.
Radical Prostatectomy vs Active Surveillance: Results of Nearly 3 Decades of Follow-up
Researchers sought to determine the effect of radical prostatectomy vs watchful waiting on life expectancy in men with prostate cancer.
No Improvement in OS, DFS With MP + Adjuvant ADT for High-Risk Prostate Cancer
The addition of mitoxantrone and prednisone (MP) to adjuvant androgen-deprivation therapy did not increase survival among patients with high-risk prostate cancer.
Smoking During Primary Therapy Worsens Oncologic Outcomes in Prostate Cancer
A meta-analysis of 11 studies revealed the effects of smoking outcomes of primary radical radiotherapy or radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.
Adjuvant Radiotherapy Found Superior to Early-Salvage RT in Prostate Cancer
Propensity score-matched study compared adjuvant radiotherapy with surveillance and early-salvage radiotherapy after prostatectomy in men with prostate cancer.
