Surgery, Radiation for PCa Show Equal Efficacy in Candidates for Renal Transplantation
A recent study suggests that patients with high-risk prostate cancer (PCa) in need of renal transplantation should receive cancer treatment before their transplants, as surgery and radiation treatment for localized PCa appear to be equally effective in this patient population.
Racial Differences in Chemokine Expression May Contribute to Prostate Cancer Disparities
Researchers found that analyzing certain chemokine levels may help explain racial disparities in prostate cancer lethality, and that neutralizing such chemokines could potentially benefit prostate cancer treatment.
Infections, Rather Than Inflammation or Autoimmune Disease, Associated With Dementia Development
A nationwide study conducted in Denmark found an association between dementia incidence and previous exposure to infection, but the potential impacts of systemic inflammation or autoimmune diseases on dementia incidence were not as clear.
Expert Panel Addresses Prostate Cancer Misconceptions, Importance of Screening
Panelists from the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the American Urological Association spread awareness about the realities of prostate cancer, the importance of screening, and ways for men to approach their health concerns and prevention.
Combining Surgery and Biologic Therapy Improves Outcomes in Patients With CRSwNP
Combination endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and biological therapy significantly decreased polyp burden in refractory chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) compared with biologic therapy alone
Study Validates PSA-Based Recurrence Definitions for Prostate Cancer Prognostication
Researchers determined that the Huber et al. criteria regarding prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels may more accurately predict the need for additional treatment or the possibility of treatment failure compared with other PSA-based definitions.
