Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common cause of bladder outlet obstruction in men over the age of 50 years. An association between the prostate specific antigen (PSA), International Pro...
To determine the correlation between the PSA, IPSS and PV in men of African descent....
This was a cross sectional analysis involving 92 patients diagnosed as having symptomatic BPH at the Ho Teaching Hospital....
The data were collected using standardised questionnaires. The IPSS determined urinary symptom severity. The PV was determined using a transabdominal ultrasound machine. Serum PSA was retrieved from t...
The mean PV was 61.04 cm3 ± 21.95 cm3, the mean PSA was 4.21 ng/mL ± 3.85 ng/mL, and mean IPSS of 21.59 ± 3.78. The Pearson's correlation between PV and PSA was 0.283 (p = 0.01), between PV and IPSS w...
This study showed that serum PSA has a positive correlation with PV. However, IPSS had no significant association with PSA or PV in patients with BPH.Contribution: This study provides insights into th...
We report the case of a 63-year-old male who came to the urology clinic with an increasing value of the prostate specific antigen and an asymmetrical enlargement at the digital rectal examination. The...
To compare the cost effectiveness of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) with that of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of medically refractory benign prostatic hyperpla...
A cost-effectiveness analysis with Markov modeling was performed, comparing the clinical course after PAE with that after TURP for 3 years. Probabilities were obtained from the available literature, a...
Base case calculation showed comparable outcomes (PAE, 2.845 QALY; TURP, 2.854 QALY), with a cost difference of $3,104 (PAE, $2,934; TURP, $6,038). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was $360,24...
PAE is a cost-effective strategy to treat medically refractory BPH, resulting in comparable health benefits at a lower cost than that of TURP even when accounting for extreme alterations in adverse ev...
Prostate organogenesis begins during embryonic development and continues through puberty when the prostate becomes an important exocrine gland of the male reproductive system. The specification and gr...
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is associated with structural and morphological changes including elongation of prostatic urethral length. The aim of our study was to assess whether prostatic urethral le...
This prospective observational study was conducted over a 12-months duration. All the patients who presented with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia were evaluated ...
A total of 153 patients were included in the study. Eighty-three (54.2%) patients underwent surgery during the study period. Prostate volume, intravesical prostatic protrusion, post-void residual volu...
BPH patients with longer PUL may require surgical management. PUL measured by TRUS may be a predicting factor for the need of surgery in BPH Keywords: Benign prostatic hyperplasia; lower urinary tract...
Biomarkers of DNA damage repair deficiency provide opportunities for personalized treatment with immunotherapy. However, there is limited research on the immune microenvironment of adeno-neuroendocrin...
A retrospective medical record review of 66 patients with prostate cancer (PCa) was performed. PCa samples from the 66 patients were analyzed using immunohistochemical staining for the detection of ch...
Twenty patients presented with adeno-NEPC, whereas 46 presented with adeno-PCa. The median age of patients at PCa diagnosis was 67.86 ± 7.05 years (68.65 ± 7.23 years, adeno-NEPC; 67.52 ± 7.02 years, ...
Our study revealed clinicopathological manifestations of adeno-NEPC and some possible predictive factors significantly associated with better outcomes in patients with adeno-NEPC. These findings might...
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic significance of two new and a few clinical markers for prostate cancer (PCa) at various prostate volumes (PV)....
The study subjects were divided into two groups. Among them, there were 70 cases in the PV ≤30 ml group (benign prostatic hyperplasia [BPH]: 32 cases, PCa: 38 cases) and 372 cases in the PV > 30 ml gr...
In the PV ≤30 ml group, the diagnostic parameters based on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) had a decreased diagnostic significance for PCa. In the PV > 30 ml group, PSAD (AUC = 0.709), AVR (AVR = Age/...
Choosing appropriate indicators for different PVs could contribute to the early screening and diagnosis of PCa. The difference in the diagnostic value of two new indicators (A-PSAD and AVR), and PSAD ...
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a size-independent surgical option for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) with excellent, durable ...
This study aims to compare the ability of the PHI versus tPSA test to predict the presence of PCa in our population....
A prospective observational study was performed. We included patients with tPSA ≥ 2.5 ng/ml, biopsy naïve or previous negative biopsy, undergoing a blood test, which includes tPSA, fPSA, and p2PSA, an...
140 men were included. Fifty-seven (40.7%) had a positive prostate biopsy result (Group A), and 83 (59.3%) had a negative biopsy result (Group B). The mean age was similar in both groups (mean ± stand...
The PHI test improves PCa detection compared to tPSA in our population....
We compare Prostate Health Index, Prostate Health Index density, and PSA density in predicting clinically significant prostate cancer in MRI-guided prostate biopsy....
This is a multicenter evaluation of prospectively maintained prostate biopsy databases at 10 urology centers. Men with Prostate Health Index and MRI-guided targeted and systematic prostate biopsy perf...
A total of 1,215 men were analyzed. Prostate cancer and clinically significant prostate cancer were diagnosed in 51% (617/1,215) and 35% (422/1,215) of men, respectively. Clinically significant prosta...
Prostate Health Index density outperformed Prostate Health Index or PSA density in clinically significant prostate cancer detection in men with multiparametric MRI performed, and further reduced unnec...
