Professional recommendations against routine prostate cancer screening have little effect — ScienceDaily

The study, published as a research letter online in JAMA Internal Medicine, focused on the use of PSA — prostate-specific antigen — to test for prostate cancer. “We found that the effect of the guidelines recommending against the routine screening of elderly men in particular has been minimal at best,” says Jesse Sammon, D.O., a researcher at Henry Ford’s Vattikuti Urology Institute and lead author of the study. The researchers found an estimated 17 million men age 50 or older without a history of prostate cancer or prostate problems who reported undergoing PSA screening…

Ureteral injury during robot-assisted prostate surgery

Although rare, they found instances when the ureter — tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder — were cut and required repair. In each case, they identified patient characteristics that may forewarn such damage. The study was recently published in the Journal of Endourology. The study – drawing from Henry Ford Hospital’s experience with robot-assisted surgery removal of prostate cancer – was conducted in the context of a steady rise in robot-assisted prostatectomies in the U.S…
