» Read moreCumulative studies have shown that vitamin D may be associated with lower urinary tract symptoms, but the findings have been inconsistent. The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate […]
» Read moreTo investigate whether T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings could improve upon established prognostic indicators of metastatic disease and cancer-specific survival.For a cohort of 3,406 consecutive men who underwent prostate […]
» Read moreThe DROP-IN gamma probe was introduced to overcome the restricted manoeuvrability of traditional laparoscopic gamma probes. Through enhanced manoeuvrability and surgical autonomy, the DROP-IN promotes the implementation of radioguided surgery […]

» Read moreMen with low risk prostate cancer on active surveillance undergo multiple biopsies over time. The long-term clinical significance of consecutively negative biopsies is not known.Men with low risk prostate cancer […]
» Read moreCurrently, markers are lacking that can identify high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) patients who fail BCG-treatment. Therefore, we evaluated the prognostic value of T1-substaging in primary HR-NMIBC.Patients with primary […]
» Read moreDeleterious ATM alterations are found in metastatic prostate cancer (PC); PARP inhibition has antitumour activity against this subset, but only some ATM loss PCs respond.To characterise ATM-deficient lethal PC and […]
» Read moreResidual retrocrural disease in testis cancer following chemotherapy is a surgical challenge. We sought to assess the outcomes and evolution with surgical management of residual retrocrural disease.We identified 2,788 testicular […]
» Read moreImmune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a mainstay treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). As not all patients benefit from ICIs, a biomarker-driven clinical decision-making strategy is desirable.To assess the predictive […]
