Clinical staging error in prostate cancer: localization and relevance of undetected tumour areas.

20 Dec 2009 OBJECTIVE: To describe the localization and to assess the clinical implications of areas of undetected prostate cancer in radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens, focusing on patients with unilaterally negative preoperative biopsy cores. PATIENTS AND ... Read more...

Current perspectives on the Gleason grading of prostate cancer.

30 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: Since its description in 1966 by Donald Gleason, the Gleason grading has remained a cornerstone in the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer. With widespread use of the prostate specific antigen screening, the diagnosis and management ... Read more...

Stereotactic body radiotherapy: an emerging treatment approach for localized prostate cancer.

29 Sep 2009 Here we report results from the first cohort of over 100 patients treated with hypofractionated, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for early stage prostate cancer. Between February 2005 and December 2006, 112 patients with localized, ... Read more...
