View article: Radical prostatectomy cancer grade and percentage of Gleason pattern 4 estimated by global vs individual tumor grading correlate differently with the risk of biochemical recurrence in Grade Group 2 and 3 cancers
Radical prostatectomy cancer grade and percentage of Gleason pattern 4 estimated by global vs individual tumor grading correlate differently with the risk of biochemical recurrence in Grade Group 2 and 3 cancers Open
Objectives There are 2 grading approaches to radical prostatectomy (RP) in multifocal cancer: Grade Group (GG) and percentage of Gleason pattern 4 (GP4%). We investigated whether RP GG and GP4% generated by global vs individual tumor gradi…

Optimum threshold of the 4Kscore for biopsy in men with negative or indeterminate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging Open
Objective The study aims to identify the optimal 4Kscore thresholds to determine the need for a prostate biopsy when multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (mpMRI) is negative or indeterminate. Materials and methods We analysed r…

Prostatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Controlled for Tumor Grade, Stage, and Margin Status Does Not Independently Influence the Likelihood of Biochemical Recurrence in Localized Prostate Cancer After Radical Prostatectomy Open
Context.— Prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has historically been considered to be an aggressive subtype of prostate cancer. Objective.— To investigate if PDA is independently associated with worse biochemical recurrence (BCR)–free sur…

The anatomic scalene triangle: A useful landmark for pelvic lymphadenectomy during Retzius-Sparing Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy Open
Objective: Pelvic lymphadenectomy (PLN) during Retzius-Sparing Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RS-RARP) may be challenging because the medial umbilical ligaments are not released, and the anterior structures are preserved. The inci…
