OBJECTIVES: To develop a model to predict biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP), using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques.
A 71-year-old man with gross hematuria and urinary retention showed a 7×8 cm polycystic mass compressing the prostate on the right ventral side on pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The prostate specific antigen (PSA) level was 6.47 ng/ml. Pros...
OBJECTIVE: Among western males, prostate cancer is the most frequent oncological disease. Since the widespread of PSA, diagnoses in younger adults is increasing. The aim of this study is to analyze pathological features and biochemical recurrence eve...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the positive surgical margin rates and locations in radical prostatectomy among three surgical approaches, including open radical prostatectomy, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
PURPOSE: A possible association between metformin use and the development of prostate cancer (PCa) has been reported. However, there is limited information on the impact of long-term metformin use on serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. We i...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this work was to report our experience in robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for the treatment of localized prostate cancer in a kidney transplant recipient.

AIMS OF STUDY: In this work, we enhanced the role of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test by examining the relation between free PSA (fPSA) and total PSA (tPSA) value and other biological information such as age and volume of prostate. Our primary go...

OBJECTIVE: To explore the diagnosis value of back propagation (BP) neural network integrating age, transrectal ultrasound characteristics and serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) for prostate cancer.
The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of margin positivity in clinically and pathologically localized prostate cancer (pT2) after radical prostatectomy on biochemical recurrence and time to adjuvant treatment. We analyzed data from 371 pati...
