PURPOSE: Between 30%-40% of patients with prostate cancer experience disease recurrence following radical prostatectomy. Existing clinical models for recurrence risk prediction do not account for population-based variation in the tumor phenotype, des...
BACKGROUND: Online Cancer Support Groups (OCSG) are becoming an increasingly vital source of information, experiences and empowerment for patients with cancer. Despite significant contributions to physical, psychological and emotional wellbeing of pa...
Lymphatic spread determines treatment decisions in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT can be performed, although cost remains high and availability is limited. Therefore, computed tomography (CT) continues to be the most used modality f...
PURPOSE: Limiting the dose to the rectum can be one of the most challenging aspects of creating a dosimetric external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) plan for prostate cancer treatment. Rectal sparing devices such as hydrogel spacers offer the prospect...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate intraocular pressure and visual function in patients with ocular diseases undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.
A novel approach for automatic localization of brachytherapy seeds in 3D transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images, using machine learning based algorithm, is presented. 3D radiofrequency ultrasound signals were collected from 13 patients using the linear...
Radical prostatectomy (RP) is the primary and standard treatment for localized prostate cancer. As in many surgical procedures, RP can now be accomplished through minimally invasive methods. RP in a patient with a pre-existing 3-piece inflatable peni...
PURPOSE: To quickly and automatically propagate organ contours from pretreatment to fraction images in magnetic resonance (MR)-guided prostate external-beam radiotherapy.
PURPOSE: Beam orientation selection, whether manual or protocol-based, is the current clinical standard in radiation therapy treatment planning, but it is tedious and can yield suboptimal results. Many algorithms have been designed to optimize beam o...
