Patients and Methods: We relied on the Braunschweig institutional database and retrospectively identified D′Amico intermediate-risk PCa patients who were administered to 68 Ga...

...: This is a retrospective analysis of prognostic factors of overall survival in 65 patients with PC treated at a tertiary referral center over the last 15 years (2004–2018). Results: Almost half (48%) of the patients were diagnosed at an advanced local stage pT3/4. Thirty-eight (58%) patients underwent inguinal...

... for lymph node (LN) staging in bladder cancer. Methods: Two uroradiologists reviewed CT scans of 231 patients who underwent radical cystectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy according to a predefined 12-field template. A 5-step model was used to grade the radiological likelihood of a LN to represent malignant...
