Prostate cancer and prostatic diseases

ABSTACT: BACKGROUND: Studies comparing C-RARP and RS-RARP have reported different results and the choice between the two operation methods remains controversia.
We evaluated the feasibility and impact on short- and long-term functional outcomes of very early catheter removal on postoperative day (POD) 2 after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first multisu...
PURPOSE: Automatic segmentation of medical images with deep learning (DL) algorithms has proven highly successful in recent times. With most of these automation networks, inter-observer variation is an acknowledged problem that leads to suboptimal re...

Radiotherapy (RT) datasets can suffer from variations in annotation of organ at risk (OAR) and target structures. Annotation standards exist, but their description for prostate targets is limited. This restricts the use of such data for supervised ma...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Prostate MRI improves detection of clinically significant prostate cancer; however, its diagnostic performance has wide variation. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to assist radiologists in the detection and cl...
To identify factors affecting potency and to predict ideal patient subgroups who will have the highest chance of being potent after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) based on nerve sparing (NS). Analysis of 7268 patients who underwen...
BACKGROUND: Patients with very-high-risk prostate cancer (VHRPCa) have earlier biochemical recurrences (BCRs) and higher mortality rates. It remains unknown whether extended robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (eRALP) without neoadjuvant or adj...
The determination of molecular features that mediate clinically aggressive phenotypes in prostate cancer remains a major biological and clinical challenge. Recent advances in interpretability of machine learning models as applied to biomedical proble...
The present study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) under anticoagulant (AC) and/or antiplatelet (AP) therapy, as compared to a control group, and to establis...
PURPOSE: High-dose-rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy involves treatment catheter placement, which is currently empirical and physician dependent. The lack of proper catheter placement guidance during the procedure has left the physicians to rely on a...
