BACKGROUND
Dysuria following prostate radiation therapy is a common toxicity that adversely affects patients' quality of life and may be difficult to manage.
METHODS
Two hundred four patients treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) from 2007 to 2010 for localized prostate carcinoma
The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of opioid-induced dysuria in patients with advanced cancer having pain and to evaluate the possible factors associated. A consecutive sample of cancer patients admitted to an acute pain relief and palliative care unit during 8 months was surveyed.
We present the case of a 34-year-old female, complaining of frequent micturition and progressive dysuria. By cystoscopy and computerized tomography, we found that she had multiple sub-mucosal protuberant lesions in the entire bladder. After surgical excision, she has thus far showed no further signs
A 38-year-old woman presented with dysuria and fever. Her medical and family histories were unremarkable. CT scan of the abdomen revealed a polypoid mass of 4×2.6×2.2 cm. Her cystoscopy showed a 4×2 cm solid broad-based growth at trigone of the urinary bladder. She underwent transurethral resection
OBJECTIVE
We studied the safety and efficacy of multiple adjuvant apaziquone instillations in patients with high risk nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer.
METHODS
Patients with high risk nonmuscle invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder underwent transurethral resection of all bladder tumor(s),
BACKGROUND
To prospectively evaluate the feasibility, safety, morbidity, and preliminary efficacy of radiofrequency interstitial tumor ablation (RITA) for the focal treatment of patients with local prostate cancer recurrence.
METHODS
Eleven patients with biopsy-proven, hormone-naïve, clinically
OBJECTIVE
We prospectively evaluate the safety, morbidity and complication rates for first and repeat transrectal ultrasound guided prostate needle biopsies.
METHODS
In this prospective European Prostate Cancer Detection Study 1,051 men, with total prostate specific antigen between 4 and 10 ng./ml.,
Everyday, many patients get radiotherapy for prostatic, rectal, uterine cervix and other pelvic organs cancer. Dysuria is common in pelvic, especially prostate radiotherapy, but there is not any established and confirmed treatment for this therapeutic side effect. Therefore, an alternative
The aim of this phase II study was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of stereotactic body radiotherapy in patients with low or intermediate risk prostate cancer.
Biopsy-confirmed prostate cancer patients were enrolled, provided that they had the following characteristics: initial
OBJECTIVE
Although numerous prostate cancer quality-of-life studies have been reported, a paucity of data exists regarding brachytherapy-related dysuria. In this study, we evaluated the incidence and temporal resolution of dysuria, along with the influence of multiple treatment, clinical, and
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the use of minimally invasive high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) as a salvage therapy in men with localized prostate cancer recurrence following external beam radiotherapy (EBRT).
METHODS
A review of 31 cases treated using the Sonablate 500 HIFU device, between 1
OBJECTIVE
We report our initial experience and the technical feasibility of transperineal prostate cryoablation under MR guidance.
METHODS
Percutaneous MR-guided cryoablation was performed in 11 patients with prostatic adenocarcinoma contraindicated for surgery (mean age: 72 years, mean Gleason
A 13-year-old castrated male Bassett Hound was examined because of a 2-week history of severe constipation and tenesmus. Radiography revealed a large cystic mass in the caudal portion of the abdomen that was compressing the urethra and obstructing the pelvic canal. A small perianal mass was also
