Purpose of review To evaluate the rationale supporting the role of local treatment in the management of patients with metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). Recent findings Not all patients with metastatic PCa share the same prognosis, in which selected individuals with oligometastatic PCa might benefit from local therapies. These men would harbor a...

Purpose: To assess the current status and future potential of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and MRI-targeted biopsy (MRI-TBx) on the pretherapeutic risk assessment in prostate cancer patients' candidates for radical prostatectomy. Methods: A literature search of the MEDLINE/PubMed and Scopus database was performed. English-language original and...

Purpose The effect of time between radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy on postoperative functional outcomes is still unclear in patients with surgically managed prostate cancer. We hypothesized that a shorter time between radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy might be associated with worse functional recovery rates after radical...

Background: We aim to evaluate the impact of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and fusion-target biopsy for early reclassification of patients with low-risk Prostate Cancer in a randomized trial. Materials and methods: Between 2015 and 2018, patients diagnosed with Prostate Cancer after random biopsy fulfilling PRIAS criteria were...

Background: Partial nephrectomy (PN) has a non-negligible perioperative morbidity. Comparative evidence of the available surgical techniques is limited. Objective: To compare the perioperative outcomes of open, laparoscopic, and robotic PN. Methods: Data of 2331 patients treated with PN for cT1 renal tumors were extracted from the RECORd2...

Aim: To assess urologists' proficiency in the interpretation of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). Materials and Methods: Twelve mpMRIs were shown to 73 urologists from seven Italian institutions. Responders were asked to identify the site of the suspicious nodule (SN) but not to assign a PIRADS score. We set an a priori...

Objective: To identify meaningful predictors and to develop a nomogram of postoperative surgical complications in patients treated with partial nephrectomy (PN). Patients and Methods: We prospectively evaluated 4308 consecutive patients who had surgical treatment for renal tumours, between 2013 and 2016, at 26 Italian urological centres (RECORd...
