Temporal trend in incidental prostate cancer detection at surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia
Urology Aug 25, 2018
Capogrosso P, et al. - Experts evaluated the changes in the rate of incidental prostate cancer (PCa) after benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgery over the last decade. In PCa screening and diagnosis, the clinical practice changes were reflected by the increased rate of low-risk PCa detected after BPH surgery in the last decade. This lead to a reduced number of unnecessary biopsies and indolent cancer diagnosis. A higher chance of incidental PCa detection was seen in the patients treated with holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP), nonetheless, there was a probability of this being associated with the significantly higher number of HoLEP performed over the last years.
