To determine how often complete eradication of all visible tumors during transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is accomplished in a referral setting. The American Urological Association guidelines recommend complete eradication whenever possible.We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who underwent a second TURBT within 4 weeks of being referred to us. Relevant data such as...
To test the effect of nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) vs radical nephrectomy (RN) on cancer-specific mortality (CSM) in patients with T1bN0M0 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in a population-based cohort. To date, only few series from tertiary care centers supported the use of NSS for T1bN0M0 (range 4-7 cm) RCC.The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database allowed us to identify 275 NSS (5.3%)...
To examine the perioperative mortality rates at 90 days (90 dM) after nephroureterectomy (NU) and to devise a model capable of identifying individuals at an elevated 90 dM risk. NU represents the surgical standard of care for patients with invasive, nonmetastatic upper-tract urothelial carcinoma. However, this major abdominal surgery may be associated with a nonnegligible rate of perioperative mortality...
The current tumor-node-metastasis (TNM)–staging system for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) is based on the number and size of the largest positive lymph node (LN). The aggregate LN metastasis diameter (ALNMD) may better reflect the burden of metastatic disease and improve the ability to predict recurrence-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS).Clinical characteristics and follow-up information...
To examine (i) the prevalence of comorbidity among invasive bladder cancer (IBC) patients, and (ii) the effect of comorbidity on IBC survival and mortality in Northern Denmark. Comorbidity has shown to be associated with treatment selection and survival in patients who undergo radical cystectomy for IBC.Patients with a diagnosis of IBC from Danish hospitals between 1996 and 2007 within a population...
To determine whether the decreased short-term morbidity associated with minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has resulted in an alteration in the disease-specific risk profile of prostatectomy patients. MIS in many fields has resulted in an expansion in the pool of patients willing to undergo surgery.The Columbia Urologic Oncology Database was queried, and 1751 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy...
Metastases to the penis are rare, with less than 200 cases reported. Within the genitourinary tract, advanced prostate cancer is the most common culprit. These cases typically represent widely disseminated disease and are associated with a poor prognosis. We present images of a case of a testicular nonseminomatous mixed germ cell tumor, which metastasized to the corpus cavernosum of the penis 8 months...
