Purpose : We developed a preoperative nomogram for prediction of lymph node metastases
in patients with clinically localized prostate cancer. Materials and Methods : The study was a …

OBJECTIVES: To assess the prognostic significance of a positive surgical margin in the
radical prostatectomy specimen, and to test for the presence of statistically significant …

When applying nomograms to a clinical setting it is essential to know how their predictions
compare with clinicians'. Comparisons exist outside of the prostate cancer literature. We …

Study Type – Therapy (case series) Level of Evidence 4 OBJECTIVE To evaluate data obtained
from a large, multi‐institutional, contemporary series of patients who underwent radical …

Purpose : We developed and validated a nomogram which predicts presence of prostate
cancer (PCa) on needle biopsy. Materials and Methods : We used 3 cohorts of men who were …

Purpose: We evaluated the predictive accuracy of a recently published preoperative
nomogram for prostate cancer that predicts 5-year freedom from recurrence. We applied this …

Purpose We summarize published data on associations between cavernous neurovascular
bundle preservation (nerve sparing) during prostatectomy and positive surgical margins, …

Objective To characterize the frequency and timing of complications following radical

INTRODUCTION: Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PUC) is a rare tumor of the urinary
bladder. Its clinical and histopathological features have not been well characterized. In this …

Purpose A positive surgical margin (SM) during radical prostatectomy (RP) increases risk of
biochemical recurrence. We evaluated the effect of nerve-sparing procedures on risk of …
