13 Feb 2022Which factor impels offering of postoperative chemotherapy in nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer?
A recent study has shown clear preferences by urologists when providing postoperative immediate chemotherapy in nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Factors beyond clinical variables, such as the structure of the recovery room, play a role in this decision-making process.

11 Feb 2022Less is more when treating benign prostatic hyperplasia with thermal water vapour
Thermal water vapour therapy that consists of a single injection per prostate lobe for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is both effective and safe, yielding similar improvements in lower urinary tract symptoms and quality of life when compared with a traditional approach that employed variable number of injections by prostate volume, as shown in a study.

05 Feb 2022Lifestyle interventions ward off mobility disability in prostate cancer patients on ADT
An exercise and dietary lifestyle intervention regimen leads to better mobility outcomes among prostate cancer patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as compared with standard-of-care management, a recent study has found. Moreover, social cognitive outcome measures seem to be predictive of such mobility outcomes.

02 Feb 2022Risk stratification criteria show good prognostic value in CRPC, but not enough to guide treatment
The risk stratification criteria used in the CHAARTED and LATITUDE trials can accurately assess prognosis in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), but are insufficient to differentiate between the therapeutic outcomes of androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPI) and docetaxel, a new study has found.

24 Jan 2022PSA mRNA in circulating tumour cells a potential new biomarker for prostate cancer progression
Levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) mRNA in circulating tumour cells can be used alongside serum PSA protein levels to refine the assessment of disease progression in patient with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), a new study has found.
