The 17-Gene Genomic Prostate Score Assay Predicts Outcome After Radical Prostatectomy Independent of PTEN Status
To compare the ability of loss of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and Genomic prostate score assay (GPS) in predicting the biochemical-recurrence (BCR) and clinical-recurrence (CR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) for clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa).Tumor Contact Surface Area As a Predictor of Functional Outcomes After Standard Partial Nephrectomy: Utility and Limitations
To evaluate contact surface area (CSA) between the tumor and parenchyma as a predictor of ipsilateral parenchyma and function preserved after partial nephrectomy (PN). Previous studies suggested that CSA is a strong predictor of functional outcomes but the limitations of CSA have not been adequately explored.Excised Parenchymal Mass During Partial Nephrectomy: Functional Implications
To evaluate whether excised parenchymal mass (EPM) during partial nephrectomy (PN) correlates with functional decline and can serve as a surrogate for functional outcomes.
