PURPOSE: Radiation damage on neurovascular bundles (NVBs) may be the cause of sexual dysfunction after radiotherapy for prostate cancer. However, it is challenging to delineate NVBs as organ-at-risks from planning CTs during radiotherapy. Recently, t...
BACKGROUND: Absorbable hydrogel spacer injected between prostate and rectum is gaining popularity for rectal sparing. The spacer alters patient anatomy and thus requires new auto-contouring models.
PURPOSE: To test the role of endogenous total testosterone (ETT) as a predictor of prostate cancer (PCa) progression in patients treated with robot assisted radical prostatectomy for clinically localized disease.
: To describe the predictors of cribriform variant status and perineural invasion (PNI) in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) histology. To define the rates of upgrading between biopsy specimens and final histology and their possible predict...
The influence of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) on patients who have previously undergone transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) versus TURP-naive patients is still debatable. The present study aimed to compare perioperative, fun...

BACKGROUND: no data exist concerning functional and oncological outcomes of Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP), in patients previously treated with trans-urethral resection of the prostate (p-TURP), for benign prostate obs...
OBJECTIVES: To report a single centre's experience of the feasibility, safety and patient acceptability of same-day discharge robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP).
One in eight men will be affected by prostate cancer (PCa) in their lives. While the current clinical standard prognostic marker for PCa is the Gleason score, it is subject to inter-reviewer variability. This study compares two machine learning metho...

Differential classification of prostate cancer grade group (GG) 2 and 3 tumors remains challenging, likely because of the subjective quantification of the percentage of Gleason pattern 4 (%GP4). Artificial intelligence assessment of %GP4 may improve ...
