Journal ArticleDOI

Results of Conservative Management of Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: The strategy of initial conservative management and delayed hormone therapy is a reasonable choice for some men with grade 1 or 2 clinically localized prostate cancer, particularly for those who have an average life expectancy of 10 years or less.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measuring quality of life in men with prostate cancer using the functional assessment of cancer therapy-prostate instrument

TL;DR: Sensitivity to change in performance status and PSA score over a 2-month period suggested that some subscales of the FACT-Prostate (P) (including the PCS) are sensitive to meaningful clinical change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of a New Tumor Marker, Urinary NMP22, in the Detection of Occult or Rapidly Recurring Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Urinary Tract Following Surgical Treatment

TL;DR: This quantitative, noninvasive assay, with high negative predictive value (86%) and sensitivity to detect malignancy (100% for invasive disease and 70% overall), may be a helpful adjunct to cytology and endoscopy for monitoring disease status after endoscopic tumor resection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunohistochemical localization of androgen receptors with mono- and polyclonal antibodies to androgen receptor.

TL;DR: The monoclonal antibody could also demonstrate androgen receptor-positive cells in a human prostatic cancer and in a prostate with benign hyperplasia, demonstrating the use of antibodies in revealing cellular/subcellular distribution of androgen receptors in target tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Results of Radical Prostatectomy in Men With Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer: Multi-institutional Pooled Analysis

TL;DR: These results offer the best currently available estimates of 10-year outcome of radical prostatectomy in men with clinically localized prostate cancer and may be useful in counseling patients with early malignancy.
