PURPOSE: The choice between using the internal or external iliac arteries to supply a transplanted kidney poses is a dilemma during renal transplantation. As the internal iliac artery branches to the genital tract, cutting it could potentially result in sexual dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of these two surgical methods on sexual function. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 122 sexually active male patients under the age of sixty were randomly divided into two groups: the internal iliac anastomosis group and the external iliac artery anastomosis group...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and the sixth leading cause of cancer death among men worldwide. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is one of the oldest biomarkers for the early detection of PCa. Digital rectal exam (DRE) is another screening test for PCa detection, which is considered as an irritating experience for patients. Biopsy is still the most reliable method for PCa diagnosis; however, patients are prone to complications. Therefore, developing non-invasive and accurate methods for PCa screening seems urgent to avoid unnecessary biopsies...

PURPOSE: Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) can be divided into renal pelvis tumor (RPT) and ureteral tumor (UT) based on the tumor origin. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin (NAC-GC) in terms of the pathological outcomes and oncological prognoses in patients with UTUC. We also compared its efficacy between RPT and UT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who underwent radical nephroureterectomy for clinical T (cT)3N0M0 UTUC between 1999 and 2021 were included...

Bladder cancer is diagnosed at older age compared to all other known cancer types. Radical cystectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy or tri-modality treatment (consist of TURB, concurrent chemo-radiation) are the standard treatments. Many of the patients cannot receive tri-modality treatment (concurrent chemo-radiation) because of medical comorbidities. The present study assessed the results of sequential use of chemotherapy and radiotherapy versus concurrent use of them in 266 muscle invasive bladder cancer patients...

Purpose A vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is a debilitating condition for women in terms of both its personal and social impacts. A reported transperitoneal laparoscopic approach to treatment has some limitations such as risk of intra-peritoneal organ injury and unnecessary bladder dissection. We here report on our experiences with an extraperitoneal transvesicoscopic approach to a VVF repair, which overcomes these drawbacks. Materials and Methods Seven VVF patients were treated using the transvesicoscopic approach...

PURPOSE: The extent of effectiveness of upfront androgen receptor-axis-targeted therapies (ARAT) versus total androgen blockade (TAB) in improving prostate cancer-specific survival (CSS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in a real-world sample of Japanese patients with high-volume mHSPC remains unclear. We, therefore, investigated the efficacy and safety of upfront ARAT versus bicalutamide for de novo high-volume mHSPC in Japanese patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a multicenter retrospective study that analyzed CSS, clinical PFS, and adverse events (AEs) in 170 patients with newly diagnosed high-volume mHSPC...

PURPOSE: Post prostatectomy PSA kinetics and General Grade Groups (GGG) are the strongest prognostic markers of biochemical recurrence (BCR) and prostate cancer (PCa)-specific mortality after radical prostatectomy. Despite having low-risk PCa, some patients will experience BCR, for some, clinically significant BCR. There is a need for an objective prognostic marker at the time of prostatectomy to improve risk stratification within this population. In this study, we investigated the prognostic potential of DNA ploidy...

This essay draws attention to the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) discovery's lack of Nobel Prize acknowledgement despite its significance for prostate cancer (PCa) clinical practice. The Nobel Prize committee gives more weight to discoveries in basic research than to applications in medicine, which may account for PSA's lack of recognition. The prize has been dominated by the identification of cancer-causing viruses. Considering the subject from our -urologists- side, numerous pioneer researchers have uncovered PSA's presence and function, and its overuse in PCa screening has sparked debates about issues like overdiagnosis and overtreatment...
