CONTEXT
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer in the adult male, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) represents the most frequent urologic diagnosis in elderly males. Recent data suggest… (More)
OBJECTIVES
To assess the accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopic imaging (1H-MRSI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR (DCEMR) in the depiction of local prostate cancer recurrence in patients… (More)
OBJECTIVES
We analyze our experience on BPH through 20 years of histopathological examinations performed by the same pathologist.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed all histopathological… (More)
CONTEXT
Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is emerging as the most commonly used imaging modality for prostate cancer (PCa) detection, treatment planning, and follow-up, its acceptance has not… (More)
OBJECTIVES
Emerging evidence indicates that prostatic inflammation may contribute to prostate growth either in terms of hyperplastic (benign prostatic hyperplasia [BPH]) or neoplastic (prostate… (More)
CONTEXT
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging (MRSI), dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, and diffusion-weighted MRI emerged as promising tests in the… (More)
OBJECTIVES
This study compares proton magnetic resonancespectroscopic imaging (1H-MRSI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) combined techniques at 3T magnet versus… (More)
PURPOSE
We analyzed the benefit of the early combined use of functional pelvic floor electrical stimulation and biofeedback in terms of time to recovery and rate of continence after radical… (More)
Several different stimuli may induce chronic prostatic inflammation, which in turn would lead to tissue damage and continuous wound healing, thus contributing to prostatic enlargement. Patients with… (More)
To validate the role of 3-T diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the detection of local prostate cancer recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP). T2-weighted imaging, DWI and dynamic… (More)
