To assess whether statin use improves local control (LC) in patients undergoing organ-preserving trimodality therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer.We retrospectively analyzed the data from 286 patients with muscle-invasive, transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder treated with maximal transurethral resection of the bladder tumor followed by chemoradiotherapy from 1986 to 2003 at the Massachusetts...
Objectives. To determine the utility of hematuria testing in a large series of patients with suspected renal colic using unenhanced helical computed tomography (CT) as the reference standard.Methods. A retrospective review of the CT reports of all patients who underwent unenhanced helical CT for suspected renal colic at one institution during a 3.5-year period and who also underwent a formal microscopic...
Objectives. Unenhanced helical computed tomography (UHCT) is rapidly becoming the preferred imaging modality for the evaluation of suspected renal colic in the adult population; however, a series addressing its use in the adolescent population has not been previously published. We assessed the utility of UHCT in the evaluation of suspected renal colic in this age group.Methods. Seventeen patients...
Objectives. To determine the incidence and spectrum of significant alternative or additional diagnoses established or suggested on unenhanced helical computed tomography (CT) in a large series of patients with suspected renal colic.Methods. One thousand consecutive unenhanced helical CT examinations were performed for suspected renal colic. All official CT reports were retrospectively reviewed, which...
