RESUMEN
PURPOSE: The comparative effectiveness of transrectal and transperineal prostate biopsy in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer is not well understood. We conducted a randomized clinical trial to determine whether transperineal biopsy improves the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Of the 840 men randomized, 93% were White, 44% had a previous biopsy, with a median age of 66 years and median PSA density of 0.14. Of these, 384 underwent transrectal and 398 underwent transperineal prostate biopsy. Prebiopsy prostate MRI was performed in 96% of men. Grade Group ≥ 2 prostate cancer was classified as clinically significant. Odds ratios were calculated using logistic regression to evaluate the effect of biopsy procedures on cancer detection rates. RESULTS: The detection rates of clinically significant prostate cancer were 47.1% and 43.2% (odds ratio 1.17; 95% CI, 0.88-1.55) for transrectal and transperineal biopsy, respectively. Age, PSA density, clinical stage and Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System score were associated with the diagnosis of clinically significant cancer, whereas history of previous biopsy, anterior tumors, and biopsy procedure (transrectal or transperineal) were not. Clinically significant cancer detection rates in biopsy-naïve men undergoing MRI-targeted transrectal or transperineal biopsy were 59% and 62%, respectively. The overall cancer detection rates following transrectal and transperineal biopsy were 72.1% and 70.4%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant difference noted in the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer following transrectal or transperineal prostate biopsy. Urologists may utilize either biopsy procedure that best suits their patients' needs and practice setting.

Atrophic kidney-like lesion (AKLL) is a rare kidney lesion, which was recently suggested by the Genitourinary Pathology Society as a provisional entity. As of now, 16 examples of AKLL have been described in the literature. Here we report a new tumor which shows similar clinicopathologic characteristics with those previously reported in AKLL. Immunohistochemical (IHC) studies in the current lesion identified a biphasic staining pattern consisting of a mixture of WT1+/KRT7-/PAX8- large dilated cysts and WT-/KRT7+/PAX8+ small atrophic cysts. Histomorphologic features of AKLL overlap with several neoplastic and non-neoplastic entities which can lead to mischaracterization. Awareness of the differentiating features is likely important when evaluating these lesions.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: To quantitatively describe the nature, severity, and duration of symptoms and functional impairment during recovery from transurethral resection of bladder tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients scheduled for transurethral resection were approached for enrollment in a text-message based ecological momentary symptom assessment platform. Nine patients reported outcomes were measured 7 days before surgery and on postoperative days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14 using a 5-point Likert scale. Self-reported degree of hematuria was collected using a visual scale. Clinical data was collected via retrospective chart review. RESULTS: A total of 159 patients were analyzed. Postoperative symptoms were overall mild, with the largest differences from baseline to postoperative day 1 seen in dysuria (median 0/5 vs. 3/5) and ability to work (median 5/5 vs. 4/5). Recovery was generally rapid, with 76% of patients reporting ≥4/5 agreement with the statement "I feel recovered from surgery" by postoperative day 2, although 15% of patients reported persistently lower levels of agreement on postoperative day 10 or 14. Patients undergoing larger resections (≥2cm) did take longer to return to baseline in multiple symptom domains, but the difference of medians vs. those undergoing smaller resections was less than 1 day across all domains. Multivariable analysis suggested that receiving perioperative intravesical chemotherapy was associated with longer time to recovery. 84% of patients reported clear yellow urine by postoperative day 3. CONCLUSION: In this population, hematuria and negative effects on quality of life resulting from transurethral resection of bladder tumors were generally mild and short-lived, although a small number of patients experienced longer recoveries.
