RSM (Royal Society of Medicine) Complexity and Complications: Navigating Advanced Prostate Cancer
This year’s RSM Cancer Day will focus on the evolving management of prostate cancer. With emerging evidence supporting radical prostatectomy in oligometastatic disease, the programme will examine patient selection, treatment strategies, and the latest advances for managing advanced-stage cases.
Robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy versus open retropubic prostatectomy – complication and readmission rates
Readmission rates in postoperative patients are an important health economic and clinical challenge faced in the modern NHS, with financial levies attached. In America since 2013, hospitals have been faced with ‘readmission penalties’ deducted from Medicare reimbursements. This was the...Urology in Leeds

The market for bladder outflow obstruction surgery is currently wide open with new technologies such as Urolift® emerging. One of the key selling points of new technologies is the comparative safety and efficacy compared to traditional techniques such as transurethral...
Impact of MetS on prostate cancer (PCa)
Metabolic syndrome is associated with an increased risk of finding prostate cancer (PCa) overall and high-grade disease on biopsy. The first objective was to determine if MetS is associated with higher final PCa stage and grade on radical prostatectomy (RP)...
Prognostic impact of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio after radical prostatectomy
Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio has been shown to be a prognostic factor in a number of different cancers. This is one of the largest studies to date to evaluate its effect on overall survival in patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy (RP)...
Robot assisted radical prostatectomy – could it be gold standard?
Prostate cancer (PCa) is still the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men in the United States. Most of the PCa are organ confined at the time of diagnosis. To watch (observation / active surveillance) or fry (radiotherapy) or...
