In Togo, the total number of prostate cancers was 726 in 2021. Screening methods are readily available in Togo. However, prostate cancer is still detected at a late stage. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with adherence to prostate cancer screening among retired men in Togo, 2023, using the Health Belief Model. A national descriptive and analytical exploratory cross-sectional study was carried out from March 1 to May 31, 2023. A total of 288 retirees were included. Overall, 54.9% of retirees perceived their vulnerability to prostate cancer, 54.9% perceived its severity, 52.4% perceived barriers to screening, 50.3% perceived benefits from screening, 53.1% perceived their self-efficacy for screening, and 55.2% perceived cues to action. A total of 83% of retirees agreed to undergo prostate cancer screening.

Through analysis of 961 articles from the Web of Science Core Collection, we identified key trends in therapeutic innovation and clinical translation. The United States emerged as the dominant contributor (34.96% of publications), with Harvard University and the University of California System leading institutional output. Three paradigm shifts emerged: early stage research focused on optimizing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) efficacy (2008-2013), followed by castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) drug development (2014-2016), and recent emphasis on combination therapies and molecular targeting (2017-2023). The top 50 most cited papers confirmed that keyword clusters directly corresponded to pivotal trials, including TAMPEDE (NCT00268476) and PROSPER (NCT02003924). The translational science spectrum model revealed that 68% of current clinical applications originated from basic research on androgen receptor variants. Emerging frontiers include prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted radioligand therapy and immunotherapy-ADT synergies.

To retrieve sperm in NOA patients, microdissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) is a highly effective technique. The present study aimed to evaluate successful sperm retrieval (SSR) in NOA patients across different etiologies in the Iranian population to identify predictive factors. This retrospective analysis included 566 NOA patients undergoing micro-TESE from 2018 to 2023, with 58 histories of Cryptorchidism, 40 Klinefelter syndrome (KS), 6 Y chromosomal microdeletions (YCMDs), 6 histories of chemotherapy, 5 mumps orchitis, and 451 patients with idiopathic reasons. The overall SSR was 43.2%, with a significantly lower SSR in the KS group (p = .012). Patients with higher average ages tended to have higher SSR rates, especially in the idiopathic group. Hormone levels differed among the groups, with higher follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone levels in the YCMDs group, higher testosterone levels in the idiopathic and Cryptorchidism groups, and higher prolactin levels in the KS group. There were no significant differences in other clinical characteristics between the SSR and sperm retrieval failure groups, except for a positive relationship between prolactin levels and SSR rates in the KS group (r = .45, p = .003). Our data underscores that underlying etiology and genetic background may reveal more valuable predictive value than age, hormone levels, and testicular volume. This finding suggests that no patient with NOA should be deprived of micro-TESE based on candidate predictors of SSR presented to date.","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"19 3","pages":"15579883251338483"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12103666/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144141286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cross-sectional study included 177 males seeking fertility treatment. The index-to-ring-finger length ratio (2D:4D) was calculated as a measure of prenatal androgen exposure. To evaluate recent phthalate exposure, urinary concentrations of seven phthalate metabolites were measured. Their associations with International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) scores were analyzed using generalized linear models. One standard deviation increase of mono-methyl phthalate was negatively associated with IIEF domains A (erectile function; exponentiated coefficient, 0.95; exponentiated 95% confidence interval, CI, [0.91, 0.98]) and D (intercourse satisfaction; exponentiated coefficient, 0.91; exponentiated [0.85, 0.97]). While mono-butyl phthalate was positively associated with domain A, mono-ethyl phthalate, monobenzyl phthalate, and the molar sum of di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate metabolites showed no significant association with IIEF domain scores. When the serum testosterone concentration was included as an exposure variable, the overall association between urinary phthalates and IIEF domain scores remained similar. The left- and right-hand 2D:4D ratios did not show significant associations with any IIEF domain scores.

Data from transcribed interviews were analyzed using qualitative content analysis using manifest and indicative approaches. Eighteen men were interviewed, 10 whom chose to be tested, and 8 who declined screening. The information in the invitation letter was not decisive for whether men chose to be tested or not. The aspects that the men valued in their personal decision to participate or refrain from screening were categorized as (a) the expectation that authorities should take responsibility and provide guidance; (b) fear, which was described as both a driving force and a barrier; (c) reliance upon intuition combined with seeking social and emotional support; (d) the perception of one's own risk of being affected. Men who relied on risk assessment mentioned difficulties in evaluating the information about the potential disadvantages of screening. Our findings suggest that the intention of informed decision-making for prostate cancer screening is difficult to fully realize.

Most respondents were women (84%), under 33 (59%), from high socio-professional backgrounds (58%), in relationships (78%), and childless (59%). Significant gender differences emerged regarding desired ages for having a first (women: 30.7 ± 3.5 years vs. men: 32.8 ± 3.8 years; p = .06) and last child (women: 36.7 ± 3.6 years vs. men: 39.8 ± 4.5 years; p = .001). Only 55.8% of men correctly identified the female fertility window, compared to 64.1% of women (p = .023). Men also showed lower awareness of the timing of female fertility decline (p = .043) and underestimated the prevalence of assisted reproductive technologies among heterosexual couples (p = .001). In addition, men were less likely to discuss fertility with their doctor (15.4% vs. 35.9%; p = .004) or express interest in infertility prevention consultations (53.9% vs. 60.8%; p = .048).
