Article Abstract

Our objective was to assess the diagnostic value of the sentinel node (SN) procedure for lymph node staging in primary intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer patients with node-negative results on prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/CT (miN0). From 2016 to 2022, 154 patients with primary, miN0 PCa were retrospectively included. All patients had a Briganti nomogram-assessed nodal risk of more than 5% and underwent a robot-assisted SN procedure for nodal staging. The prevalence of nodal metastases at histopathology and the occurrence of surgical complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification were evaluated. The SN procedure yielded 84 (14%) tumor-positive lymph nodes with a median metastasis size of 3 mm (interquartile range, 1-4 mm). In total, 55 patients (36%) were reclassified as pN1. A complication of Clavien-Dindo grade 3 or higher occured in 1 patient (0.6%). The SN procedure classified 36% of patients with miN0 prostate cancer with an elevated risk of nodal metastases as pN1.

Background: With the advancement of MR-based imaging, prostate cancer ablative therapies have seen increased interest to reduce complications of prostate cancer treatment. Although less invasive, they do carry procedural risks, including rectal injury. To date, the medicolegal aspects of ablative therapy remain underexplored.

Background: Docetaxel is the most common chemotherapy regimen for several neoplasms, including advanced OSCC (Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma). Unfortunately, chemoresistance leads to relapse and adverse disease outcomes.

Methods: We performed CRISPR-based kinome screening to identify potential players of Docetaxel resistance.

Background And Objective: Since 2016, >21 000 patients with prostate cancer (PC) used our personalized online decision aid in routine care in Germany. We analyzed the effects of this online decision aid for men with nonmetastatic PC in a randomized controlled trial.

Methods: In the randomized controlled EvEnt-PCA trial, 116 centers performed 1:1 allocation of 1115 patients with nonmetastatic PC to use an online decision aid (intervention = I) or a printed brochure (control = C).
