#AUA14 - Performance of multiparametric MRI for high grade prostate cancer: Correlation with whole-mount pathology - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - Prostate cancer is diagnosed more effectively by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) when there is higher Gleason score.

#AUA14 - Multiparametric MRI for detection of radio-recurrent prostate cancer: What constitutes an optimal dataset? - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - Multiparametric MRI (mp-MRI) is important in the detection of prostate cancer. Mohamed Abd-Alazeez presented results of his group's study on MRI imaging in which they evaluated the performance of various MRI sequences and their ability to detect prostate cancer.

#AUA14 - External beam radiation therapy versus high-intensity focused ultrasound for localized prostate cancer: A matched pair comparison - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - There are currently no randomized studies that compare high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and other treatment strategies for prostate cancer.

#AUA14 - Magnetic resonance imaging/ultrasound fusion-guided biopsy for re-targeting of atypical small acinar proliferation - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - Due to their increased risk of prostate cancer (PCa), men who are found to have atypical small acinar proliferation (ASAP) on prostate biopsy are commonly instructed to undergo early re-biopsy.

#AUA14 - Comparison of the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) risk calculator and magnetic resonance imaging in selecting men for prostate biopsies - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - The PCPT risk calculator has been proposed as a means to improve upon the limitations of PSA in selecting men for prostate biopsy. The authors of this study sought to compare the performance of the PCPT risk calculator with multiparametic MRI (MP-MRI) in classifying men at risk for prostate cancer.

#AUA14 - Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and MRI/ultrasound fusion-guided biopsy stratify patients at risk for extracapsular extension at radical prostatectomy - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - In men with prostate cancer (PCa), the surgical margin status is one of the most important prognostic factors for biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy.

#AUA14 - First surveillance image for patients with a small renal mass should not determine outcome: Results from the DISSRM registry - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - Patients with small renal masses (SRM, ≤ 4cm) can be monitored by active surveillance (AS), but implications of growth rate (GR) in AS patients have yet to be fully elucidated.

#AUA14 - Experience with active surveillance (AS) in patients with renal mass ≥ 4cm: Assessment of growth kinetics and outcomes - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - With increasing interest in understanding active surveillance (AS) as an option for the management of small renal masses, the growth kinetics of masses under 4 cm has been characterized by a number of investigators.

#AUA14 - Poorly functioning kidneys recover from ischemia during partial nephrectomy as well as strongly functioning kidneys - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - It is generally understood that most nephrons make a very strong recovery from ischemic insult.

#AUA14 - Malignant renal tumors are associated with worsened baseline renal function than benign masses of equal size - Session Highlights

ORLANDO, FL USA (UroToday.com) - In this study, presented by Dr. Rashed Ghandour and colleagues from Columbia University, they investigated the independent impact of tumor volume and malignancy on renal function.
