BACKGROUND: The role of cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) remains unclear in the immuno-oncology (IO) era. The results of two randomized trials, CARMENA and SURTIME, questioned the role and timing of CN. However, despite the latest advances in the systemic treatment of mRCC, previous trials have only used targeted therapy, and no studies have fully investigated the role of CN in immune checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) settings, and there is an ur

Medical castrations for patients with prostate cancer results in a lower incidence of newly diagnosed NTG compared to no ADT. These findings suggest that testosterone may be involved in the pathogenesis of NTG.

The oncologic outcomes of cytoreductive prostatectomy (CRP) in oligometastatic prostate cancer (OmPCa) are still controversial. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the oncologic outcome of CRP in OmPCa. OVID-Medline, OVID-Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to identify eligible studies published before January 2023. A total of 11 studies (929 patients), 1 randomized controlled trial (RCT) and 10 non-RCT studies, were included in the final analysis. R

(1) Background: We assessed the impact of diagnostic ureteroscopy (URS) on intravesical recurrence (IVR) following radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma according to the type of URS. (2) Methods: Data on 491 consecutive patients who underwent RNU at two institutions between 2016 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. The study population was classified according to the type of URS performed before RNU as follows: non-URS, rigid URS, and flexible URS. The study ou

Hydrogel spacers significantly reduced rectal radiation exposure and overall GI toxicity. However, their limited impact on severe toxicity highlights the need for further research on high-risk treatments and advanced RT techniques.

There were significant differences in clinical features between the extensive- and focal-types CG. The extensive type was more often associated with urologic complications. Meanwhile, in the focal type, subsequent urinary tract malignancy might develop during the follow-up period. Thus, thorough initial work-up and careful follow-up is necessary despite the benign nature of CG. Annual surveillance cystoscopy may be appropriate.

For individuals with prostate cancer opting for active surveillance, a family history of prostate cancer may serve as an independent risk factor associated with an elevated risk of disease progression. Clinicians should be counseled about the increased risk of disease progression in patients with a family history of prostate cancer undergoing active surveillance.

Background/Objectives: to evaluate the association between androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and newly developed neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in patients with prostate cancer. Methods: We identified 228,803 men from the nationwide claims database in the Republic of Korea diagnosed with prostate cancer between 1 August 2009 and 31 December 2018 and followed until April 2021. Cases were defined as those newly diagnosed with neovascular AMD during follow-up. Cases were matche

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to determine effects of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) on survival outcomes compared to surgery alone without AC for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients with variant histology (VH). METHODS: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies investigating AC for UTUC in Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library up to January 2023. Population, intervention, comparator, and outcome were UTUC patients with VH, radical nephroureterectomy

Background: We aimed to evaluate the association between androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and newly developed dry eye syndrome (DES) in patients with prostate cancer. Methods: A nested case–control study was conducted. From the nationwide claims database of the Republic of Korea, 125,005 patients were included in the final analysis. Cases were defined as those newly diagnosed with DES during follow-up, and 12,654 patients were identified. The cases were matched with controls in a ratio of 1:4.

The proportion of RARPs steadily increased with the expansion of robotic surgical systems for prostate cancer in Korea. Despite improvements in the SSR for RARP in non-Seoul regions, disparities remain, with Seoul being the primary location for robotic surgery.

Background: Prognosis of patients with prostate cancer seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) varies considerably, suggesting that SVI may be a heterogeneous pathological entity. This study aimed to perform a detailed histopathological analysis of seminal vesicle (SV) specimens in prostate cancer to better characterize SVI and evaluate its clinical significance. Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed a database of robotic prostatectomies performed between July 2020 and December 2024. Since J

Purpose: To identify the indication for recommending prebiopsy magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to prevent prostate cancer missed diagnoses in cases without prebiopsy MRI.Materials and Methods: Between January 2017 and September 2020, 585 patients suspected with prostate cancer underwent prostate biopsy after MRI. For patients with visible lesions, MRI-targeted biopsy using an image-based fusion program was performed in addition to the 12- core systematic biopsy. Patients for whom MRI was perfor

Background: Robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) for posterior renal tumors can be performed via the transperitoneal approach (TA); however, it may provide suboptimal visualization of posterior lesions compared to the retroperitoneal approach (RA). The camera port swapping (CPS) technique was developed to enhance intraoperative visualization and robotic arm maneuverability during TA-RPN. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients who underwent RPN for posterior renal tumors between 20
