Racial Disparity in Prostate Cancer-Specific Mortality for High-Risk Prostate Cancer: A Population-Based Study
INTRODUCTION Race may be a significant factor that influences prostate cancer (PCa) survival, with the Asian (AsA) race being associated with better outcomes compared to African American (AA) and Non-Hispanic Whites (NHW). This study evaluates race-dependent variation in PCa-specific mortality (PCSM) associated with radiation dose-escalation exemplified by external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with...
متن کاملDoes length of prostate biopsy cores have an impact on diagnosis of prostate cancer?
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether core length is a significant biopsy parameter in the detection of prostate cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed pathology reports of the specimens of 188 patients diagnosed with prostate cancer who had undergone initial transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate biopsy, and compared biopsy core lengths of the patients with, and without p...
متن کاملBrachytherapy boost and cancer-specific mortality in favorable high-risk versus other high-risk prostate cancer.
PURPOSE Recent retrospective data suggest that brachytherapy (BT) boost may confer a cancer-specific survival benefit in radiation-managed high-risk prostate cancer. We sought to determine whether this survival benefit would extend to the recently defined favorable high-risk subgroup of prostate cancer patients (T1c, Gleason 4 + 4 = 8, PSA < 10 ng/ml or T1c, Gleason 6, PSA > 20 ng/ml). MATERI...
متن کاملImpact of surgical margin status on prostate-cancer-specific mortality.
UNLABELLED Study Type--Diagnostic (exploratory cohort) Level of Evidence 2b. What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Surgical margin status at radical prostatectomy (RP) has been shown to be a predictor of disease progression and the strongest predictor of benefit from adjuvant therapy, but the impact of a positive surgical margin (PSM) on long-term prostate-cancer-specific su...
متن کاملProbability modeling of the number of positive cores in a prostate cancer biopsy session, with applications.
Among men, prostate cancer (CaP) is the most common newly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of death from cancer. A major issue of very large scale is avoiding both over-treatment and under-treatment of CaP cases. The central challenge is deciding clinical significance or insignificance when the CaP biopsy results are positive but only marginally so. A related concern is deciding ho...
