BACKGROUND According to recent studies, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among Iranian men. Radical prostatectomy has been considered the gold standard treatment in patients with clinically localized prostate cancer. Gleason score, PSA density, and PSA velocity are some of the parameters used to predict adverse pathologic features. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evalu...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between prostate volume measured from preoperative imaging and adverse pathologic features at the time of radical prostatectomy and evaluate the potential effect of clinical stage on such relationship. METHODS In 1756 men who underwent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and radical prostatectomy from 2000 to 2010, we examined associations of magn...

Purpose Active surveillance (AS) is a treatment option for men with very low–risk prostate cancer (PCa); however, favorable outcomes achieved for men in AS are based on cohorts that under-represent African American (AA) men. To explore whether race-based health disparities exist among men with very low–risk PCa, we evaluated oncologic outcomes of AA men with very low–risk PCa who were candidate...

Radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy remain the most popular treatments for localized prostate cancer.[1] In the most recent updated iteration of the Partin Tables, approximately 24% of patients undergoing prostatectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer are predicted to have adverse pathologic findings such as extraprostatic extension (EPE) or seminal vesicle invasion (SVI), and as man...

BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether men selecting active surveillance (AS) are at increased risk of unfavorable longer term outcomes as compared with men who undergo immediate treatment. OBJECTIVE To compare adverse pathologic outcomes in men with favorable-risk prostate cancer who underwent delayed prostatectomy after surveillance (DPAS) to those who elected immediate prostatectomy (IRP). ...

T HE cases in this report were selected from our routine material because of some interesting clinical or pathologic feature. They have little that is new to add to otur clinical ahd pathologic knowledge, but perhaps will refresh for us some of the clinical and pathologic possibilities. The history in most of the cases is very brief, because material was sent to the laboratory from practitioner...

The pattern of clinical presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) has changed dramatically from a severe disease to an asymptomatic condition in Western countries. The story is completely different in Eastern countries. Bone and joint related sign and symptoms like bone pain and multiple fractures are common in these patients. Imaging and nuclear medicine studies will be helpful specia...
