The results of this study are clinically not surprising. The true incidence of occult metastatic disease in clinically localised prostate cancer may never be determined as probably even more refined methods of detection would...

So what is the clinical benefit, if any? The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been linked with a decreased risk for several malignancies

This study adds further data to the growing body of evidence on the effects various nutrients may or may not have on prostate cancer

The interesting question whether converse patients with localized prostate cancer and without significant increases in PSA can safely be followed without treatment cannot be answered at present

The future looks bright if the following criteria can be met: (1) in vivo generation of sufficient numbers of immune cells to recognize tumor antigens (2) successful trafficking of these cells to infiltrate the tumor stroma, and...

The mean follow-up time in this study was only 6.2 years and it will take several more years of follow-up to better assess whether the overall mortality will be affected by early treatment with radical prostatectomy

The histopathological grading was based on the WHO system and not on the Gleason system. Most patients were not treated with conformal threedimensional radiotherapy and the methods used today are also based on improved imaging...

The risk of developing rectal cancer after external beam radiation for prostate cancer is moderately increased and in the same magnitude as having a first-degree relative with colorectal cancer

Wang et al. report work that takes advantage of antitumour immunity and propose a method for the detection of prostate cancer on the basis of the patient’s ‘autoantibody signatures’, similar to autoantibodies against multiple...

Many surgeons have suggested that the robotassisted technique has a shorter learning curve than the conventional laparoscopic technique, i.e. is easier to learn for the surgeon highly experienced in the open retropubic technique...
