Background
Reducing disparities in men with prostate cancer (PCa) that may be caused by racial and socioeconomic differences is a major public health priority. Few reports have studied whether these disparities have changed over time.
Methods
Men diagnosed with PCa from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2015 were identified from the Massachusetts and Pennsylvania cancer registries. All‐cause mortality...
Background
Decisions for operative or nonoperative management remain challenging for patients with spinal metastases, especially when life expectancy and quality of life are not easily predicted. This study evaluated the effects of operative and nonoperative management on maintenance of ambulatory function and survival for patients treated for spinal metastases.
Methods
Propensity matching was...
BACKGROUND
The current study was performed to examine temporal trends and compare overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) or bladder‐preservation therapy (BPT) for muscle‐invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.
METHODS
The authors reviewed the National Cancer Data Base to identify patients with AJCC stage II to III urothelial carcinoma of the bladder from 2004...
BACKGROUND
Patients with prostate cancer and their providers face uncertainty as they consider adjuvant radiotherapy (ART) or salvage radiotherapy (SRT) after undergoing radical prostatectomy. The authors prospectively evaluated the impact of the Decipher test, which predicts metastasis risk after radical prostatectomy, on decision making for ART and SRT.
METHODS
A total of 150 patients who were...
BACKGROUND:Randomized trials have demonstrated that escalated‐dose external‐beam radiotherapy (EDRT) is better than standard‐dose radiotherapy (SDRT) for patients with prostate cancer and that adding androgen‐deprivation therapy (ADT) to SDRT is better than SDRT alone; however, no trials have compared EDRT versus SDRT plus ADT or EDRT versus EDRT plus ADT. The authors designed a model to estimate...
BACKGROUND:The authors systematically reviewed the literature and conducted a pooled analysis of studies on small renal masses who underwent active surveillance to identify the risk progression and the characteristics associated with metastases.
METHODS:A search of the MEDLINE database was performed to identify all clinical series that reported the surveillance of localized renal masses. For studies...
