ROBOT-ASSISTED RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED BIOCHEMICAL RECURRENCE COMPARED TO RETRO PUBIC RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY

The pathological and oncological outcomes of retro-pubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) have not been sufficiently investigated.

Aberrant chromatin structure in cancer cells results from altered proteins involved in its packaging. Heterochromatin protein 1 gamma (HP1γ) is a non-histone heterochromatic protein that functions to maintain chromatin stability and is important in embryonic development.

malignant disease. A prostate biopsy was performed and showed Gleason score 3+4 adenocarcinoma of the pros- tate. Computerized tomography (CT) and bone scinti- graphy showed no metastasis. He was referred to our Department of Urology for treatment of cT2bN0M0 prostate cancer, and underwent LR[r]

A substantial number of patients will develop further biochemical progression after radical prostatectomy (RP) and salvage radiotherapy (sRT). Recently published data using prostate-specific membrane antigen ligand positron emission tomography (PSMA - PET) for re-staging suggest that those recurrenc[r]

Increasing evidence suggests the involvement of chronic inflammation in the progression of prostate cancer, and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), also known as cyclooxygenase-2, catalyzes the rate-limiting steps of the pathway.

CD147 is an MMP-inducing protein often implicated in cancer progression. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of CD147 in prostate cancer (PCa) progression and the prognostic ability of CD147 in predicting biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy.

Robots are increasingly utilized in urology, in part because of their favorable performance characteristics. Robots perform tasks quickly with excellent preci- sion. Robots do not fatigue, regardless of time or environment, and can be more cost-effective than humans. The function of robots, howeve[r]

The standard protocol for men in the SCORE study was as follows: Patients were evaluated at time of diagnosis by a thorough history and physical examination (includ- ing digital rectal examination [DRE]) followed by routine laboratory studies, including serum PSA levels, and GS det[r]

The goal of radical prostatectomy is to excise the cancer completely with a clear margin, to maintain continence by preserving the external sphincter, and to preserve potency by preserving the autonomic nerves in the neurovascular bundle. Radical
