MINILAPAROTOMY RADICAL RETROPUBICPROSTATECTOMY FOR PROSTATE CANCER

Radical Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer

1. There have been no randomised trials comparing brachytherapy or IMRT with conventional radiotherapy. 2. ADJUVANT radiotherapy has recently been shown to improve progression-free survival after radical surgery in patients with tumour at excision margins or infiltrating seminal vesicles. 3. Hormone therapy improves outcomes (progression free survival and survival) after radical radiotherapy fo...

Radical prostatectomy as treatment for prostate cancer.

Comparison of laparoscopic and minilaparotomy pelvic lymphadenectomy for prostate cancer staging in a community practice.

OBJECTIVES To compare the cost-effectiveness and morbidity of minilaparotomy (MINILAP) and laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy (LAP) in a community practice setting. METHODS We reviewed our experience with 44 consecutive patients with prostate cancer who had staging pelvic lymphadenectomy from January 1992 through April 1995 in a general health maintenance organization urology practice. Of th...

Incidental prostate cancer in radical cystoprostatectomy specimens.

AIM To investigate the rates of prostate cancer (PCa) in radical cystoprostatectomy (RCP) specimens for bladder cancer in mainland China. To determine the follow-up outcome of patients with two concurrent cancers and identify whether prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a useful tool for the detection of PCa prior to surgery. METHODS From January 2002 to January 2007, 264 male patients with bla...
