This study assessed the feasibility and outcomes of treating prostate cancer with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) incorporating a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) directed boost. Seventy-eight men received IMRT for localized prostate cancer. The entire prostate received 77.4Gy in 43 fractions and simultaneous intra-prostatic boosts (SIB) of 83Gy were administered to increase the dose to...

Prostate cancer is histologically and molecularly heterogeneous. Clinically significant disease is often driven by dominant intra-prostatic lesions (IPLs). Prostate cancers cluster into molecular phenotypes with substantial genetic heterogeneity making pathway-based molecular analysis appealing. MRI/ultrasound fusion biopsy provides a unique opportunity to characterize tumor biology of discrete...

OBJECTIVE To determine if intraoperative frozen sections of the bladder neck during radical prostatectomy (RP) could decrease the incidence of final positive surgical margins at the bladder neck. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective cohort study included 51 consecutive men who underwent anatomic RP at University of Florida & Shands Jacksonville. All patients had intraoperative frozen sectio...

Fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) is an optical imaging technique providing digital microscopical images of fresh tissue in a real time fashion, without conventional processing. FCM has been widely applied several fields dermatology, including the detection basal cell carcinoma and cutaneous inflammatory diseases. The aim paper to provide overview applications field prostate interpretation...

a 70 year old male presented with right lower quadrant pain and anorexia for about 72 hours prior to hospital admission. he underwent laparotomy with impression of acute appendicitis. the operative finding was an inflamed tumoral appendix without appendicular base involvement, and appendectomy was done. the patient had an uneventful post-op course. due to the pathology report of prostatic carci...

Prostatitis is a commonly seen clinical entity in daily urological practice. Xanthogranulomatous type prostatic inflammation is a highly rare clinical entity that can resemble prostatic adenocarcinoma in clinical studies and digital rectal examination (DRE). Definitive diagnosis is only possible with histopathological examination of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsies or surg...

OBJECTIVES In literature, most of the published data regarding prostatic abscess (PA) are case reports, whereas there is no standardization of the diagnostic and therapeutic routines. The purpose of this study is a new classification of ultrasound imaging of PA with clinical features correlation. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analysed the ultrasound database archives and performed a...
