Abstract
Background: To explore how urologists manage prostate cancer (PCa) screening and treatment in patients undergoing endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP).
Methods: A team of experts in EEP collaboratively formulated the survey questions through an interactive process. The survey opened in January 2024 and closed in February 2024.
Results: 102 urologists responded, revealing that most use PSA and digital rectal examination for screening, with high PSA and abnormal DRE prompting prostate MRI. 75% perform pre-EEP biopsies. For incidental low-grade PCa, active surveillance is preferred. For intermediate-grade PCa, most use PSA and MRI for workup, often choosing active surveillance if post-EEP biopsies are negative. There's no consensus on abnormal post-operative PSA thresholds.
Conclusions: While urologists are aware of PCa management in EEP candidates, future work should focus on developing optimal post-EEP screening protocols.
期刊介绍:
Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases covers all aspects of prostatic diseases, in particular prostate cancer, the subject of intensive basic and clinical research world-wide. The journal also reports on exciting new developments being made in diagnosis, surgery, radiotherapy, drug discovery and medical management.
Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases is of interest to surgeons, oncologists and clinicians treating patients and to those involved in research into diseases of the prostate. The journal covers the three main areas - prostate cancer, male LUTS and prostatitis.
Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases publishes original research articles, reviews, topical comment and critical appraisals of scientific meetings and the latest books. The journal also contains a calendar of forthcoming scientific meetings. The Editors and a distinguished Editorial Board ensure that submitted articles receive fast and efficient attention and are refereed to the highest possible scientific standard. A fast track system is available for topical articles of particular significance.
