The risk of unfavorable prostate cancer in active surveillance (AS) candidates is nonnegligible. However, what represents an adverse pathologic outcome in this setting is unknown. We aimed at assessing the optimal definition of misclassification and its effect on recurrence in AS candidates treated with radical prostatectomy (RP). Among patients eligible for AS treated with RP, […]

Cytotoxic antibodies monitoring in kidney transplantation – their clinical relevance and challenges
Introduction: The key of the successful renal transplantation is the ability to identify the best immunological match between donor and recipient considering the possibility of rejection phenomenon. The aim was to identify class I and/or class II cytotoxic antibodies in renaltransplanted patients in order to assess the immunological potential for prevention of subclinical or acute […]

Biopsia de próstata sistemática guiada por ecografía por saturación y utilizando plantilla
En biopsia inicial, hay un aumento de la evidencia de que el esquema de saturación se asocia con una tasa de detección de CaP mayor en comparación con el estándar en varones con valores de PSA menores(< 10 ng/ml), próstatas más grandes (>40 cc), o valores de densidad del PSA menores (

Can we expand active surveillance criteria to include biopsy Gleason 3+4 prostate cancer?
The final pathologic Gleason score was 3+3 = 6 in 8%, 3+4 = 7 in 67%, 4+3 = 7 in 20%, and 8 to 10 in 5% cases. The overall rate of unfavorable disease (upgrading or advanced stage or both) was 46%. In multivariable analysis, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level>10 ng/ml, PSA density (PSAD) >0.15 ng/ml/g, clinical stage […]

Tuberculosis of the penis represents an uncommon disease, especially in the European Countries, since the introduction of tuberculostatics [1]. It may be presented as an extrapulmonary form of tuberculosis, or, in rare cases, as primary lesion of the gland after contact with female genital ulcers [2, 3]. The main differential diagnosis of this entity is […]

Role of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in early detection of prostate cancer
Most prostate cancers (PC) are currently found on the basis of an elevated PSA, although this biomarker has only moderate accuracy. Histological confirmation is traditionally obtained by random transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy, but this approach may underestimate PC. It is generally accepted that a clinically significant PC requires treatment, but in case of an non-significant […]

International Young Urological Association: a global platform network for young urologists
Despite the growth of the digital era, rapid spread of information, and real-time communication, there are several urologists throughout the world who do not have access to urological scientific programs, academic training programs, or memberships to well-established urological organizations, associations, and societies. The International Young Urological Association (IYUA) is a non-profit organization that was created […]
