Artificial intelligence concerns me. Generally, people still tend to be concerned that their livelihoods will be replaced by an all powerful, all knowing artificial intelligence (AI) system. This at a time when the world’s largest technology companies (Amazon, Google, Apple),...
Long-term oncologic outcomes of salvage cryoablation for rrPC
Of patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer (PC), at least 15-20% will experience recurrence. Although salvage prostatectomy achieves durable oncological outcomes at 10 years, it is associated with significantly high morbidity. Thus, the majority of men with radio-recurrent prostate...
All biochemical recurrences are equal, but some are more equal than others
Despite significant technological advancements, radical prostatectomy (RP) and radiotherapy (RT) are not always effective in curing localised prostate cancer (PCa). Many patients experience a rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA), known as biochemical recurrence (BCR), leading to considerable anxiety and a...
How to handle the opening market in robotic surgery
In the latest edition of European Urology, Thillou et al. present a groundbreaking case series comprising 10 instances of robotassisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) procedures conducted using the innovative Dexter robotic system by Distalmotion SA, Épalinges, Switzerland. This marks the maiden...
Oncological benefits of extended pelvic lymph node dissection
Touijer and colleagues present extended follow-up results from a large randomised trial comparing limited pelvic lymph node dissection (l-PLND) and extended PLND (e-PLND) in prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. The study aimed to assess whether e-PLND, which includes external...
