Successful repair, complication rates, patients’ satisfaction, and quality of life improvement were endpoints of this study. Results: Mean follow-up...

... hydrocelectomy with additional resection of the epididymis in elderly men with completed family planning. It is believed that the additional resection of the epididymis reduces the postoperative recurrence rate of hydroceles. However, there is no evidence supporting this theory. Therefore, the aim of this study...

.... We evaluated if histopathological substaging (pT1a, pT1b, and pT1c) helps predict disease recurrence, progression, and overall survival following transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB). Methods: We included 239 consecutive patients diagnosed with pT1 UBC at TURB in a single institution since...

... the rest of the left kidney. Histopathology showed a Wilms tumor (WT) with positive margins. No postoperative therapy was made, and the patient shortly presented an abdominal recurrence.

... recurrence-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS), to analyze the prognostic significance of T1 sub-stage. Methods: Systematic literature searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were performed. We pooled data on recurrence, progression, and CSS...

... of recurrence is lacking. The aim of our prospective study was to analyze the association between patients’ changes in smoking habits after diagnosis and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Patients: After transurethral resection of primary NMIBC, patients were classified as “ex-smokers,” i.e., those definitively...

... containing cranberry and propolis (DUAB) to placebo for reducing frequency of cystitis in women with recurrent acute cystitis. Method: A multicenter, placebo-controlled, randomized study of women aged >18 years with at least 4 episodes of cystitis in the previous 12 months was performed. The number...

.... The patients were analyzed in terms of recurrence free, progression free, and cancer specific survival (CSS). Results: Median follow-up was 57 months (12–257 months). The risk for all analyzed clinical events was higher in patients who underwent reTURB after 6 weeks from primary TURB. After the change point...

..., recurrence-free (RFS), progression-free (PFS), cancer-specific (CSS) and overall survival (OS). Results: In the survival analysis, statistical significance was not reached in any tumour group for any clinical event. TICE caused more local and mild adverse effects and severe complications were mainly...

...Désirée Louise Draeger; Karl-Dietrich Sievert; Oliver W. Hakenberg Objectives: Cancer patients have to cope with anxieties -concerning their prognosis, potential recurrence/progression, and treatment-associated sequelae. Stress-related psychosocial factors influence survival and disease-related...

...Sangjun Yoo; Dalsan You; Young Seok Kim; Jun Hyuk Hong; Hanjong Ahn; Choung-Soo Kim Introduction: To assess the value of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on salvage radiotherapy (RT) in post-prostatectomy recurrent prostate cancer patients, we compared the oncologic outcomes between patients...

... recurrence and progression to muscle-invasive disease. Results: Median age was 66 years (interquartile range 59-74, mean 65.9 years). According to the EAU risk group, 76 patients presented with intermediate-risk and 219 patients with high-risk NMIBC. The 5-year recurrence-free survival and progression-free...

..., multivariate analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Results: The total negative rate of TSLC1 expression was 47.3% in NMIBC. Decreased expression of TSLC1 was correlated with a higher clinical stage, higher pathological grade, the number of tumors, lager tumor size, tumor recurrence and progression. TSLC1...
