Journal ArticleDOI

Combining urinary detection of TMPRSS2:ERG and PCA3 with serum PSA to predict diagnosis of prostate cancer

TL;DR: A clinical algorithm specifying biopsy for all patients with PSA ≥ 10 ng/ml, while restricting biopsy among those with PSC <10 ng/ ml to only those with detectable PCA3 or TMPRSS2:ERG in post-DRE urine, performed better than the individual biomarkers alone in predicting prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factors for lower urinary tract symptoms in a population-based sample of African-American men.

TL;DR: This was the first population-based study undertaken in African-American men to evaluate putative risk factors for moderate to severe LUTS, including subcategories of obstructive and irritative urinary symptoms, and associations with specific lifestyle and medical history risk factors were described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measuring health-related quality of life outcomes in bladder cancer patients using the Bladder Cancer Index (BCI).

TL;DR: A recently developed reliable and disease‐specific quality of life instrument was used to measure urinary, sexual, and bowel function and bother domains in patients with bladder cancer managed with several different interventions, including cystectomy and endoscopic‐based procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer results in significant loss of bone density.

TL;DR: Pre-existing osteopenia and osteoporosis were common in men with prostate cancer before initiating ADT, and both ADT and the duration of ADT were significantly associated with the loss of BMD in men.
