Robotic Prostate Cancer Surgery Tied to Financial Harm in Younger Patients
Higher risk also seen among patients experiencing increased urinary symptoms.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Adjuvant Radiation Tx May Benefit Select Men With High-Risk Prostate Cancer
A novel scoring system could identify men at increased risk of death after prostatectomy who would benefit from adjuvant radiation therapy.
Salvage Therapies for Radiorecurrent Prostate Cancer Offer Similar RFS
Investigators found no significant differences in 5-year RFS rates between RP and the other salvage modalities.
Study: No Need to Rush Surgery for High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Delaying radical prostatectomy for high-risk clinically localized prostate cancer for up to 6 months does not increase the risk for adverse pathologic outcomes, a study found.
Doubling of Radical Surgery Rates for High-Risk Prostate Cancer Reported
By 2016, radical prostatectomy use nearly equaled radiation therapy use for high-risk prostate cancer.
Prostate Cancer Surgery Delay Not Linked to Worse Oncologic Outcomes
Deferring radical prostatectomy for intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer for several months does not increase the risk for adverse oncologic findings.
Surgical Approach Not Tied to Decision Regret After Prostatectomy
Functional and oncologic outcomes, autonomous decision-making, and follow-up time influence regret.
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.
