The Association Between Solid Fuel Use and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Suggestive of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in Sichuan, China: Cross-Sectional Study

The Association Between Solid Fuel Use and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Suggestive of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in Sichuan, China: Cross-Sectional Study

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the progressive enlargement of the prostate gland as a result of the nonmalignant proliferation of epithelial and stromal cells [1,2]. BPH is an age-related disease. It has been reported that over half of the Chinese male population aged 70 years or older are experiencing BPH [3]. The pathogenesis of BPH remains incompletely understood despite its high prevalence, as multiple factors are involved in the process [4].

A Smart Water Bottle and Companion App (HidrateSpark 3) to Improve Bladder-Filling Compliance in Patients With Prostate Cancer Receiving Radiotherapy: Nonrandomized Trial of Feasibility and Acceptability

A Smart Water Bottle and Companion App (HidrateSpark 3) to Improve Bladder-Filling Compliance in Patients With Prostate Cancer Receiving Radiotherapy: Nonrandomized Trial of Feasibility and Acceptability

Patients with prostate cancer (PCa) undergoing radiation therapy (RT) are asked to self-manage bladder volumes throughout their daily radiation treatments. A consistent and comfortably full bladder is important to (1) minimize treatment-related toxicity by decreasing radiation dose to adjacent normal organs, and (2) to potentially maximize treatment precision by decreasing prostate motion and improving target stabilization.

Evaluating the Efficacy of ChatGPT as a Patient Education Tool in Prostate Cancer: Multimetric Assessment

Evaluating the Efficacy of ChatGPT as a Patient Education Tool in Prostate Cancer: Multimetric Assessment

The rate of prostate cancer survivorship is increasing, but this comes with its own challenges such as escalating health care costs and large numbers of survivors requiring ongoing care [4]. In this context, shared decision-making becomes pivotal, particularly concerning prostate-specific antigen screening and prostate cancer treatment selection [4].

Preference Elicitation and Treatment Decision-Making Among Men Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer: Randomized Controlled Trial Results of Healium

Preference Elicitation and Treatment Decision-Making Among Men Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer: Randomized Controlled Trial Results of Healium

To improve disease knowledge and facilitate SDM, our research group has developed several interactive, Internet-based decision aids for patients with prostate cancer [10-12] and those with breast cancer. The Prostate Interactive Education System (PIES) and the second-generation Healing Choices programs for prostate and breast cancer are comprehensive educational and decision tools that include several hours of text information and video-based testimonials.

Correlation Between Serum and Urine Biomarkers and the Intensity of Acute Radiation Cystitis in Patients Treated With Radiation Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer: Protocol for the Radiotoxicity Bladder Biomarkers (RABBIO) Study

Correlation Between Serum and Urine Biomarkers and the Intensity of Acute Radiation Cystitis in Patients Treated With Radiation Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer: Protocol for the Radiotoxicity Bladder Biomarkers (RABBIO) Study

Prostate cancer is the leading cancer diagnosed in men in France, with 50,400 new cases and 8100 deaths in 2018. Improved diagnostic strategies and therapeutic management have led to a 3.7% reduction in mortality between 2010 and 2018, and the survival rate is 93% at 5 years and 80% at 10 years [1], resulting in improved overall survival.

Sleep Disorders and Quality of Life in Patients With Cancer: Prospective Observational Study of the Rafael Institute

The same test was then used to analyze patients on hormone therapy and those with no hormone therapy for 2 types of cancer—breast cancer and prostate cancer. R (version 4.1.2; R Foundation for Statistical Computing) was used to conduct all the statistical analyses in this study, and a P This observational prospective study was approved by the institutional review board of Rafael Institute and the ethical committee of Hartmann Oncology Radiotherapy Group. Informed consent was obtained from each participant.

Web-Based Versus Usual Care and Other Formats of Decision Aids to Support Prostate Cancer Screening Decisions: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Web-Based Versus Usual Care and Other Formats of Decision Aids to Support Prostate Cancer Screening Decisions: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

According to the GLOBOCAN worldwide estimates of cancer incidence and mortality produced by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, there were 1,111,700 new cases of prostate cancer and 307,500 prostate cancer deaths in 2012, making prostate cancer the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths among men [1]. Screening for prostate cancer remains a controversial issue, particularly after data from two major trials were released.

Focal therapy selection with mp MRI-targeted biopsies may be an option in experienced hands, but to date, there is a substantial proportion of false positives in lesions 3/5 or 4/5 scored with the prostate imaging reporting data system (PI-RADS) [9]. Moreover, the assessment of mp MRI-negative areas or the prostate as a whole using a transperineal prostate mapping biopsy using a template-guided approach is recommended [2,10,11].

Hemiablative Focal Low Dose Rate Brachytherapy: A Phase II Trial Protocol

Hemiablative Focal Low Dose Rate Brachytherapy: A Phase II Trial Protocol

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed non-cutaneous neoplasm in males in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer mortality. Estimated new cases and deaths from prostate cancer in 2014 were 233,000 and 29,480, respectively. [1]. Widespread screening with the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, which can identify patients with asymptomatic tumors that have little or no lethal potential, has decreased the age of diagnosis [2].
