Key Findings

Amiri A1

Statin, genetics and PCa risk

Statin use is not associated with PCa risk or HG PCa risk, even when adjusting for genetic susceptibility

Garcia Becerra C2

Biparametric MRI

bpMRI and mpMRI have overlapping accuracy, with bpMRI presenting better ability to reduce false positives.

Zhao Y3

Machine learning in MRI

Machine learning MRI present and AUC of 0,96 with 92% of sensitivity and 90% of specificity.

Klotz L 4

Prognostic role of negative MRI in AS

MRI invisible cancers demonstrated dramatically reduced rates of progression, and no patient required intervention. Targeted biopsies may be sufficient in these patients.

Gebrael G5

Genetic testing in mHSPCa

TP53 (HR: 1,71;p < 0,05), RB1(HR: 2,32;p < 0,05), PTEN(HR: 1,74; p < 0,05), and BRCA2(HR: 2,64; p < 0,05) alterations are all associated with significantly shorter progression-free survival.

Francolini G 6

SBRT after progression in CRPC treated with abiraterone

SBRT after progression may be a viable and feasible option for omCRPC after progression if compared to second-line systemic therapy.

Zheng R7

NLM and PCa communication

Integrating natural language processors in clinical consultations may improve shared decision-making in PCa communication.

Masterson J8

Life expectancy and treatment preferences across racial and ethnic groups

Life expectancy is interpreted differently across cultures, with a great impact on PCa decision-making.

Elmansy H9

Moses holmium vs thulium enucleation

M-HoLep presents similar functional outcomes vs ThuLep. Surgical efficiency and complications favor M-HoLep. Single-surgeon design warrants caution in interpretation.

Manfredi C10

Rezum vs ThuLep

ThuLep is superior to Rezum in terms of IPSS and Qmax but not clinically different. Rezum presents a better sexual safety profile.
