Abstract INTRODUCTION: The accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer remains a clinical challenge, with both multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and 18F-prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA PET/CT) emerging as important imaging modalities. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of 18F-PSMA PET/CT vs. MRI for detecting prostate cancer.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of positive surgical margins (PSM) and associated clinicopathologic factors on long-term oncologic outcomes following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). METHODS: We analyzed a prospectively maintained registry of patients undergoing RARP between 2003 and 2022, stratified by surgical margin status (positive vs. negative [NSM]).

Abstract Prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an integral part of the diagnostic pathway in patients with suspected prostate cancer. Patients with positive findings on MRI require targeted biopsy for histopathologic diagnosis, and machine fusion biopsy is emerging as an accurate and reliable technique for diagnosis; however, access to this service is lacking across Canada.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Porcine-derived materials are used widely in urology, including hemostatic agents, acellular dermal matrices, sutures, bulking agents, and several anticoagulant medications. Although clinically effective, their animal origin is rarely discussed during preoperative counseling or routine prescribing. For many patients whose religious or ethical values influence medical decision-making, this information is meaningful even when use is permitted.
