Functional and Oncological Results after Radical Prostatectomy // Функционални и онкологични резултати след радикална простатектомия
Целта на дисертационния труд е да се установят онкологичните и функционалните резултати между отворената и лапароскопската простатектомия, като се изведат предимствата и недостатъците при двата оперативно-хирургични подхода. За изготвянето на дисертационния труд се прилага анализирането на данни на …

Application of the Bayesian belief network model to evaluate variances in a clinical caremap: Radical prostatectomy case study
… belief network named BBN_RPC to model the radical prostatectomy caremap. The BBN_RPC model provides insight into probabilistic dependencies that exist among the activities (variables) in the caremap. We then use the BBN_RPC model to analyze possible variances and to make inferences. The …

A PHASE III PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED TRIAL TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF AUGMENTED REALITY DURING ROBOT-ASSISTED RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY ON THE RATES OF POSTOPERATIVE SURGICAL MARGINS
… (PSMs) at final pathology after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) spans from 6.5 to 32%. Novel technologies are urgently required for implementing preservation of neuro-vascular bundles, while simultaneously decrease the rates of PSMs. 3D virtual reconstructions of 2D cross-sectional …

Role of Wnt5a in Prostate Cancer
… in predicting clinical outcome in patients after radical prostatectomy is limited. The aim of the present thesis is to define the role of Wnt5a protein expression in prostate cancer. We started by evaluating Wnt5a protein expression by immunohistochemistry in a large, well-defined and …

Translational perspectives on MSMB and CRISP3 expression and regulation in prostate cancer
… predictors of recurrence in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer. Using a novel automated image analysis tool, IHC-MARK, we found that MSMB was an independent predictor of recurrence in a large patient cohort. Further, we showed that expression of both MSMB and …

Exercise and nutrition induced weight loss for prostate cancer patients
… cancer patients scheduled for a robot assisted radical prostatectomy. Study 2 (Chapter 5) is an examination of the efficacy of a 12-week weight loss intervention to reduce fat mass and maintain lean mass in obese prostate cancer patients receiving ADT, with quality of life outcomes reported in …

Is The Learning Curve In Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomies (RALP) in South Africa Comparable to International Standards?
… cause of cancer death among men worldwide (1). Radical Prostatectomy (RP) is widely considered a gold standard treatment for clinically significant localized PCa. Robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) represents a modern minimally invasive technique for performing a RP. The …

Self-Efficacy in Nutrition and Exercise Affecting Long-term Quality of Life in Patients with Prostate Cancer
In patients with prostate cancer (PCa), the radical prostatectomy (RP) is a morbid surgery with vast implications for quality of life (QoL), as patients suffer physical and psychological symptoms for years postoperatively. Little is known about the psychological associated factors that influence …

IDENTIFICATION OF NCAM1 AS A NOVEL PROGNOSTIC PROSTATE CANCER STEM CELL BIOMARKER
… cohort of 406 PCa patients treated with radical prostatectomy (RP), we uncovered that NCAM1 is an independent prognostic marker for predicting distant metastasis and biochemical recurrence and its expression in radical prostatectomy biopsies concurred with diagnostic biopsies (concordance …

Versuche zur Rekonstruktion erektiler Nerven über Silikonröhrchen in Kombination mit gezüchteten homologen Schwannschen Zellen bei der Ratte
… the cavernosal nerves is often necessary during radical prostatectomy and causes erectile dysfunction. Autologous nerve transplantats seemed to be the treatment of choice in the past. Further detailed knowledge of the regeneration of peripheral nerves and the importance of Schwann cells provides …

Comparing Different Methods of Applying Propensity Score in Controlling Selection Bias for Studies of Prostate Cancer
… prostate cancer receiving active treatment (radical prostatectomy or radiation) vs. observation were compared. The known confounding factor, comorbidity, was removed in the analyses to evaluate the selection bias for general health. In scenario 2, we compared the overall mortality and …

Evaluating the role of a 99mTc-HYNIC-PSMA SPECT scan following a negative bone scan in men with prostate cancer: a single-centre, retrospective cohort study
… while four patients received treatment with radical intent. Management of patients with both scans negative included external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) (n = 47), and radical prostatectomy with or without lymph node (LN) dissection (n = 4). A limiting …

Detecting prostate cancer metastases - PET/CT and the sentinel node technique
… patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) was evaluated in Study III. SN detection was prospectively evaluated and compared with ePLND in Study IV. The main results were: 1) A fifth of patients with high-risk prostate cancer and normal or inconclusive planar bone …

Risk stratification in the management of localised prostate cancer treated with radical radiotherapy
… of which has changed greatly in recent years. Radical radiotherapy and radical prostatectomy remain the cornerstones of treatment but have now been joined by active surveillance, dose escalation (via multiple strategies), systemic approaches using androgen deprivation and up-front chemotherapy …

Obesity and Aggressive Prostate Cancer: Bias and Biology
… We found evidence of differential receipt of radical prostatectomy (RP) by BMI category, and history of obesity which, in the latter case, partially attenuated the association between obesity and high grade biopsy. After multivariate statistical adjustment and IPW, obesity was associated with …
