RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of the LDN-PSA (LacdiNAc-glycosylated-prostate specific antigen) in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer in patients suspected of having clinically significant prostate cancer on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with prostate specific antigen levels ranging between 3.0 ng/mL and 20 ng/mL and suspicious lesions with PI-RADS (Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System) category ≥3 were included prospectively. The LDN-PSA was measured using an automated 2-step Wisteria floribunda agglutinin lectin-anti-prostate specific antigen antibody sandwich immunoassay. RESULTS: Two hundred four patients were included. Clinically significant prostate cancer was detected in 105 patients. On multivariable logistic regression analysis, prostate specific antigen density (OR 1.61, P = .010), LDN-PSAD (OR 1.04, P = .012), highest PI-RADS category (3 vs 4, 5; OR 14.5, P < .0001), and location of the lesion with highest PI-RADS category (transition zone vs peripheral zone) (OR 0.34, P = .009) were significant risk factors for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer. Among the patients with the highest PI-RADS category 3 (n=113), clinically significant prostate cancer was detected in 28 patients. On multivariable logistic regression analysis to predict the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer in patients with the highest PI-RADS category 3, age (OR 1.10, P = .026) and LDN-PSAD (OR 1.07, P < .0001) were risk factors for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer. CONCLUSIONS: LDN-PSAD would be a biomarker for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer in patients with prostate specific antigen levels ≤20 ng/mL and suspicious lesions with PI-RADS category ≥3. The use of LDN-PSAD as an adjunct to the use of prostate specific antigen levels would avoid unnecessary biopsies in patients with the highest PI-RADS category 3. Multi-institutional studies with large population are recommended.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Collecting system entry in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy may occur even in cases showing a low N factor in the R.E.N.A.L nephrometry score. Therefore, in this study, we focused on the tumor contact surface area with the adjacent renal parenchyma and attempted to construct a novel predictive model for collecting system entry. METHODS: Among 190 patients who underwent robot-assisted partial nephrectomy at our institution from 2015 to 2021, 94 patients with a low N factor (1-2) were analyzed. Contact surface was measured with three-dimensional imaging software and defined as the C factor, classified as C1, < 10 cm [2]; C2, ≥ 10 and < 15 cm [2]; and C3: ≥ 15 cm [2]. Additionally, a modified R factor (mR) was classified as mR1, < 20 mm; mR2, ≥ 20 and < 40 mm; and mR3, ≥ 40 mm. We discussed the factors influencing collecting system entry, including the C factor, and created a novel collecting system entry predictive model. RESULTS: Collecting system entry was observed in 32 patients with a low N factor (34%). The C factor was the only independent predictive factor for collecting system entry in multivariate regression analysis (odds ratio: 4.195, 95% CI: 2.160-8.146, p < 0.0001). Models including the C factor showed better discriminative power than the models without the C factor. CONCLUSIONS: The new predictive model, including the C factor in N1-2 cases, may be beneficial, considering its indication for preoperative ureteral catheter placement in patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: There is no recommended observation time for patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. This study was undertaken to determine the postoperative observation time by investigating the hazard rate for prostate-specific antigen failure and other-cause death using Weibull analysis. METHODS: We included 612 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer between June 2002 and December 2017. Risk classification was categorized by the D'Amico risk classification, and the patients were divided into three age groups: <60, 60-69 and ≥70 years. The hazard rates at each point were derived using Weibull analysis. The optimal observation time after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy was determined as the intersection point at which the hazard rate of other-cause death overtakes the hazard rate of prostate-specific antigen failure. RESULTS: In all groups classified by age, the hazard rate of other-cause deaths increased over time. In contrast, the hazard rate of prostate-specific antigen failure decreased gradually. The ≥70 years age group showed the highest hazard rate. The hazard rate of prostate-specific antigen failure was highest in the high-risk group. The patients aged ≥70 and 60-69 years in the low-risk group were recommended 6 years 6 months and 14 years 8 months, respectively, for observation. The remaining patients were recommended >25 years of postsurgical observation. CONCLUSIONS: The observation time after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy could be estimated by comparing the estimated hazard rates of prostate-specific antigen failure and other-cause death based on Weibull analysis. Urologists should pay attention to age and risk classifications for optimal postoperative observation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the impact of sarcopenia and psoas major muscle volume on the survival of patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma who had undergone radical nephroureterectomy. METHODS: We reviewed data from 110 patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy in our department between June 2007 and February 2017. Psoas major muscle volume was quantified based on computed tomography data using Synapse Vincent software. The psoas major muscle volume index was calculated as psoas major muscle volume/height squared (cm3/m2). We analysed relapse-free survival, cancer-specific survival and overall survival after radical nephroureterectomy to identify factors that predicted patient survival. RESULTS: The median psoas major muscle volume index was 121.5 cm3/m2, and the psoas major muscle volume index was <100 cm3/m2 in 34 of 110 patients (30.9%). Multivariate analysis indicated that ≥pT3-stage cancer, lymphovascular invasion and a psoas major muscle volume index of <100 cm3/m2 were independent predictors of shorter relapse-free survival, cancer-specific survival and overall survival. Using these factors, patients were stratified into three groups: low, intermediate and high risks for relapse-free survival, cancer-specific survival and overall survival. CONCLUSIONS: Low psoas major muscle volume resulting from sarcopenia, high T stage and the presence of lymphovascular invasion was associated with poor survival in patients with urinary tract urothelial carcinoma who had undergone radical nephroureterectomy, supporting the use of psoas major muscle volume as a new objective prognostic marker.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia, a syndrome characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass, has attracted attention in the field of oncology, as it reflects poor nutritional status. The present study aimed to determine the risk factors for postoperative inguinal hernia (PIH) development after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer, and discuss whether sarcopenia could be used as a sensitive predictor of PIH. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of 147 patients who underwent RARP at our institution. The psoas muscle volume (PMV), as an indicator of sarcopenia, was quantified from computed tomography images using a 3-dimensional image analysis system. Multivariate cox regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of PIH, including pre- and peri-operative factors. RESULTS: The mean PMV was 393 cm3, and the correlation coefficient between PMV and body mass index was 0.37 (p < 0.01). The PIH-free rate at 2 years postoperatively was 78.2% among all patients. The multivariate analysis revealed that a PMV < 350 cm3 was a significant risk factor for PIH (p = 0.03; hazard ratio 2.19). Body mass index, age, prostate volume, lymph node dissection, nerve sparing, rectus muscle thickness, and console time were not related to PIH development. The PIH-free rate at 2 years postoperatively was 83.4% and 68.9% in patients with a PMV ≥ 350 cm3 and < 350 cm3, respectively (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: PIH occurred significantly more frequently in patients with a PMV < 350 cm3 than in patients with a PMV ≥ 350 cm3, and a low PMV was an independent risk factor for PIH. Thus, urologists should pay attention to the cumulative incidence of IH after RARP, especially in patients with a PMV < 350 cm3.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aimed to analyze technical and clinical factors related to oncological outcomes in patients with localized prostate cancer (PC) who were treated with whole-gland high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2007-2014, patients diagnosed with localized PC who underwent whole-gland HIFU were consecutively included retrospectively. Biochemical failure was defined according to the Phoenix ASTRO guidelines. The relationship between oncological outcomes and technical and clinical factors was evaluated. RESULTS: The study cohort included 428 patients. The median age was 67 years, and the median prostate-specific antigen level was 7.61 ng/mL. Patient risk classifications were low (n = 102), intermediate (n = 240), and high (n = 86). Biochemical disease-free survival rates of patients with HIFU for localized PC in the total, low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups according to D'Amico risk groups over a median follow-up period of 5 years (range 9-144) were 68.4%, 80.4%, 65.6%, and 61.6%, respectively. In multivariate logistic regression analyses to predict biochemical failure of the treatment, neoadjuvant hormonal therapy (NHT) in the high-risk group (OR 0.225, p = 0.015), and compression method in the low- (OR 0.178, p = 0.030), intermediate- (OR0.291, p < 0.0001), and high-risk (OR 0.316, p = 0.049) groups were significant factors that reduced the risk of biochemical failure after treatment. There were no significant differences in complications between patients treated with compression and those treated conventionally. CONCLUSIONS: NHT may potentially improve oncological outcomes for patients in the high-risk group, and compression methods can improve the oncological outcomes of whole-gland therapy with HIFU.

RESUMO

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) was experimentally used for focal therapy for anti-cancer effects in prostate cancer (PC). Focal therapy is a diagnosis-based investigational treatment option for localized PC that cures clinically significant PC (csPC) while preserving the anatomical structures related to urinary and sexual function based on its spread observed using multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). The European Association of Urology indicated that the current status of focal therapy for localized PC was an investigational modality and encouraged prospective recording of outcomes and recruitment of suitable patients in 2018. During the last few years, large-population multi- and single-center prospective studies have investigated focal therapy as a treatment strategy for localized PC. In a multicenter prospective study with 5-year follow-up, failure-free survival, which was defined as avoidance of local salvage therapy (surgery or radiotherapy), systemic therapy, metastases, and prostate cancer-specific death, was 88%. In the previous studies, there was no significant influence on urinary function before and at 3 months after the treatment, although transient impairment was reported 1 month after the treatment. Pad- and leak-free continence was preserved in 80-100% of the patients after treatment. Erectile function was significantly impaired in the initial 3 months after treatment compared to the pretreatment values, but it improved 6 months after the focal therapy in the previous reports. Paired comparison studies and cohort studies with long-term follow-up will contribute to verifying this treatment's clinical outcomes for patients with localized PC.

RESUMO

Background: There is lack of evaluation of the effect of the treated area on the urinary function after focal therapy. The objectives of the study is to evaluate the effects of focal therapy on urinary function in the anterior portion of the transition zone (TZ) with transrectal high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for localized prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: From 2016 to 2018, patients who were diagnosed as having localized PCa and treated with focal therapy with HIFU, were included prospectively. The urinary function and complications were evaluated separately in the treated regions of the anterior TZ (TZ group) and other portions (other group) for 12 months. Before and after the treatment, the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), IPSS Quality Of Life (QOL), Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), and uroflowmetry were evaluated to assess the urinary function. Results: Ninety patients were included in the study. There was no significant differences in the patients' characteristics between the two groups. At 1 month after the treatment, IPSS (p = 0.011), IPSS QOL (p = 0.002), OABSS (p = 0.002), maximum flow rates (p = 0.011), and residual urine volume (p = 0.011) in TZ group were significantly deteriorated compared with the other group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that anterior TZ treatment (odds ratio, 3.386; p = 0.029) was an independent risk factor for the deterioration with ≥32% of preoperative status of maximum flow rates. Concerning complication, the rates of Grade 2 urinary retention and Grade 3 urethral stricture were 15.4% and 11.5% in the TZ group and 0% and 0% in the other group, respectively. Conclusions: There was a greater risk of urinary dysfunction with treatment in the anterior TZ portion than in the other portion at 1 month after focal therapy with HIFU.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the surgical feasibility and postoperative cosmesis of a novel transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgical approach involving Y-shaped incisions and three-flap umbilicoplasty in urachal remnant patients. METHODS: Patients with symptomatic urachal remnants who underwent either conventional laparoscopic surgery (CL group, n = 21) or LESS surgery with Y-shaped incisions and three-flap umbilicoplasty (LESS group, n = 36) between May 2010 and September 2019 were retrospectively assessed. Perioperative factors and postoperative esthetic outcomes were compared between the groups using univariate and multivariate analyses. Esthetic outcomes were assessed using the body image questionnaire consisting of the body image scale (BIS) and the cosmetic scale (CS); a higher score indicated a better outcome. RESULTS: The median operative time was greater and the insufflation time was shorter in the LESS group than in the CL group. The estimated blood loss and postoperative hospital stay and surgical site infection rate did not differ significantly between the groups. While the BIS score also did not differ significantly between the groups, the CS score was greater in the LESS group than in the CL group. Multivariate analysis revealed that the surgery type (LESS surgery) was an independent predictor of greater postoperative esthetic satisfaction. CONCLUSION: Transumbilical LESS surgery with Y-shaped incisions and subsequent three-flap umbilicoplasty is feasible in patients with symptomatic urachal remnants. Regarding postoperative cosmesis, the higher CS score suggests that this technique is superior to CL surgery. Furthermore, the selection of this procedure was an independent predictor of good postoperative esthetic outcomes.
