[PMID: 38179034 PMCID: PMC10764177 DOI: 10.1002/bco2.287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives To evaluate long-term effects, complications and satisfaction among patients treated with AdVance™ and AdVance™ XP slings (AS) at a Norwegian specialist care hospital. Materials and Methods Patients who had an AS implanted due to stress urinary incontinence (SUI) 2009-2016 were identified retrospectively. Demographic and perioperative data were extracted from electronic patient files. We did a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) survey with the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC-26) urinary domain and a Satisfaction Questionnaire (SQ) 2018-2020. Cure was defined as use of ≤1 pad/day. Results The AS was implanted in 165 patients, mainly due to mild to moderate SUI (median leakage 112 g, range 13-589 g/24 h). Preoperative urodynamics showed mild detrusor overactivity (DO) in 11 patients. At 6-week follow-up, 148 patients (90%) were cured. The most common complication was urinary retention (N = 38), transient in 32 patients (range 1-42 days). Two patients were later operated with division of the sling due to persistent retention. During clinical follow-up of up to 12 years, 27 patients were reoperated due to persistent/recurrent incontinence. The PROM survey was sent to 125 patients and 115 (92%) replied at median 73 (20-134) months postoperatively. Ninety-one (79%) used ≤1 pads/day, 97 (85%) were satisfied, one patient-reported pain. Regression analyses showed that failure (>1 pad/day) was significantly associated with a higher amount of leakage preoperatively and at the 6-week follow-up. Total cure rate in the complete cohort was 64% at median 73 (20-134) months follow-up. Conclusions The AS shows good and persistent long-term results in patients with mild to moderate SUI. The only identified risk factor for long-term failure was higher amount of leakage preoperatively. The incidence of high body mass index (BMI), DO and previous radiotherapy was low and not significantly associated with failure but is still considered risk factors.

Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy: learning curves and outcomes from an Australian perspective. Prostate Int 2023; 11:51-57. [PMID: 36910896 PMCID: PMC9995681 DOI: 10.1016/j.prnil.2022.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Revised: 10/02/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been a treatment for men who suffer from intermediated to high-risk prostate cancer in Australia since 2003. The primary outcomes in relation to learning curves in robotic surgery have been extensively researched in overseas populations, but there is no study from a cohort of Australian surgeons performing RARP. This study aims to highlight the effect of RARP learning curves on primary surgical outcomes in a high-volume Australian centre. Methods A retrospective audit of all RARP performed at Epworth Healthcare from 2016 to 2021 was performed. The primary outcome data collected included operating time (OT), estimated blood loss (EBL), and positive surgical margins (PSM). Exclusion criteria were applied. Positive outcomes were set at OT 240 min, blood loss 310 mL, and negative surgical margins. Results A total of 3969 cases were analysed for a cohort of 53 surgeons. Of these surgeons, 24 surgeons have performed >50 operations to be able to undergo learning curve analysis. The median OT was 229 min, the median blood loss was 353 mL, and most cases had negative surgical margins (>1 mm, n = 3681, 92.7%). The mean learning curve transition point was 65 cases. There was a significant difference in the EBL and rate of PSM for the higher volume cohort (p = 0.002 and <0.0001, respectively). Conclusion We perform a retrospective study of all RARP performed at a high-volume Australian centre. Higher volume surgeons demonstrate that primary outcomes improve with a higher caseload (EBL, PSM). Learning curve transition points for RARP are comparable to international high-volume surgeons. Learning curve data could form the benchmark for RARP training and skills development.

Prevalence and Morbidity of Local Treatment-Related Side Effects in Metastatic Prostate Cancer Patients. Urol Oncol 2023; 41:204.e1-204.e6. [PMID: 36754665 DOI: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2023.01.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Treatment toxicity from surgery radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiation therapy (RT) has been well studied in patients with localized prostate cancer. However, little is known about lingering toxicities in patients who develop metastatic recurrence. We aimed to compare the prevalence of local treatment-related side effects in patients with metastatic recurrence and those in remission, and to explore to what extent medical oncologists address this morbidity. METHODS This was a single site, cross-sectional study evaluating patient-reported outcomes using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Clinical Practice (EPIC-CP) instrument, which measures Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) across urinary, bowel, sexual, and hormonal domains, with higher scores reflecting increased symptom burden. The primary endpoint was differences in overall and domain-specific EPIC-CP scores between the metastatic and localized cohorts, with secondary endpoints evaluating provider interventions for symptom alleviation. RESULTS Median total EPIC-CP scores were higher in the metastatic cohort (18.0, IQR 13.0-24.0) compared to the localized cohort (10.0, 6.0-15.0) (P < 0.001). This difference was mostly driven by worsening symptoms in the sexual (8.0, 8.0-9.0 vs. 6.0, 3.0-8.0) (P < 0.001) and hormonal domains (2.0, 1.0-6.0 vs. 0.0, 0.0-2.0) (P < 0.001), although there were also differences in the urinary irritation/obstruction (3.0, 0.0-3.0 vs. 1.0, 0.0-2.0) (P < 0.001) and bowel domains (1.0, 0.0-3.0 vs. 0.0, 0.0-0.0) (P < 0.001). There was a trend towards higher scores in patients that had received RT as primary treatment. Medical oncologists rarely changed management in response to local symptoms. CONCLUSION Prostate cancer patients with metastatic recurrence suffer from a higher burden of localized treatment-related symptoms compared with patients in remission, with primary RT associated with more prevalent toxicity than radical prostatectomy. There is an unmet need for more intensive management of local symptoms. Further studies should focus on factors that portend long term worse morbidity.

Urology 2023; 172:121-125. [PMID: 36549575 DOI: 10.1016/j.urology.2022.12.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess suitability of visual analog scale (VAS) in the evaluation of functional outcomes after 3D laparoscopic prostatectomy (3D LRP) METHODS: Two hundred men underwent 3D LRP for localised prostate cancer at Seinäjoki Central Hospital in Finland between December 2013 and September 2018. In October 2019, an EPIC-26 survey along with VAS scales enquiring urinary (VAS-incontinence) and sexual (VAS-sexual) symptoms was mailed to the patients, and the correlations between these 2 methods were evaluated. In the EPIC-26 survey, scores for incontinence-(EPIC-26 UI) and sexual (EPIC-26-sexual) domains were calculated using the University of Michigan scoring system. In the VAS questionnaires, patient put a mark on the 10 cm long horizontal line in place, which described his experience of continence and potency. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between methods. RESULTS The median scores were as follows: EPIC-26-UI, 79.25 (14.5-100); EPIC-26-sexual, 36.17 (0.0-100); VAS-incontinence, 8.8 cm (1.4-10.0); and VAS-sexual, 3.2 cm (0.0-10). The correlation coefficient between EPIC-26 UI and VAS-incontinence was 0.722 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.63-0.79; p <.0001) and 0.883 (95% CI, 0.84-0.91; p <.0001) between EPIC-26-sexual and VAS-sexual. CONCLUSION Our study shows a strong correlation between VAS and EPIC-26 urinary incontinence and sexual domains. In daily clinical practice VAS-scale may serve as a simple tool to evaluate the key functional outcomes of radical prostatectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether completing a decision aid, Personal Patient Profile - Prostate (P3P), prior to prostatectomy, affects self-reported bother from post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective analysis included data from men with newly diagnosed clinically localized, very low to intermediate risk prostate cancer who elected for prostatectomy within the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative between 2018-2021. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the association between P3P use and bother from post prostatectomy erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence as measured by the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC-26). RESULTS Among the 3987 patients included, 7% used P3P (n = 266). Men who used P3P reported significantly less bother from erectile dysfunction at 6 months vs non-users (aOR 0.42 [95% CI 0.27-0.66]). At 12 months, the effect of P3P on bother from erectile dysfunction was not statistically significant (aOR 0.62 [95% CI 0.37-1.03]). Men who used P3P did not have a statistically significant difference in bother from urinary incontinence (3-month: aOR 0.56 [95% CI 0.30-1.06]; 6-month; aOR 0.79 [95% CI 0.31-1.97]). CONCLUSION Within the stated limitations of this study, we find that use of a decision aid for localized prostate cancer was associated with decreased odds of men being bothered from sexual dysfunction but not urinary incontinence at 6 months post prostatectomy.

Abstract
CONTEXT Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer among men worldwide. Urinary, bowel, and sexual function, as well as hormonal symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), were prioritised by patients and professionals as part of a core outcome set for localised PCa regardless of treatment type. OBJECTIVE To systematically review the measurement properties of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) used in localised PCa and recommend PROMs for use in routine practice and research settings. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION The psychometric properties of PROMs measuring functional and HRQoL domains used in randomised controlled trials including patients with localised PCa were assessed according to the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) methodology. MEDLINE and Embase were searched to identify publications evaluating psychometric properties of the PROMs. The characteristics and methodological quality of the studies included were extracted, tabulated, and assessed according to the COSMIN criteria. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Overall, 27 studies evaluating psychometric properties of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC), University of California-Los Angeles Prostate Cancer Index (UCLA-PCI), European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) quality of life core 30 (QLQ-C30) and prostate cancer 25 (QLQ-PR25) modules, International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), and the 36-item (SF-36) and 12-item Short-Form health survey (SF-12) PROMs were identified and included in the systematic review. EPIC and EORTC QLQ-C30, a general module that assesses patients' physical, psychological, and social functions, were characterised by high internal consistency (Cronbach's α 0.46-0.96 and 0.68-0.94 respectively) but low content validity. EORTC QLQ-PR25, which is primarily designed to assess PCa-specific HRQoL, had moderate content validity and internal consistency (Cronbach's α 0.39-0.87). UCLA-PCI was characterised by moderate content validity and high internal consistency (Cronbach's α 0.21-0.94). However, it does not directly assess hormonal symptoms, whereas EORTC QLQ-PR25 does. CONCLUSION The tools with the best evidence for psychometric properties and feasibility for use in routine practice and research settings to assess PROMs in patients with localised PCa were EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-PR25. Since EORTC QLQ-C30 is a general module that does not directly assess PCa-specific issues, it should be adopted in conjunction with the QLQ-PR25 module. PATIENT SUMMARY We reviewed and appraised the measurement properties of patient-reported outcome measure questionnaires used for patients with localised prostate cancer. We found good evidence to suggest that two questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-PR25) can be used to measure urinary, bowel, and sexual functions and health-related quality of life.

[PMID: 32621207 PMCID: PMC7854429 DOI: 10.1007/s12094-020-02433-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Purpose To quantify the relationship between the rectal dose distribution and the prevalence of self-reported rectal bleeding among men treated with salvage radiotherapy (ST) delivered by three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) for prostate cancer. To use this relationship to estimate the risk of rectal bleeding for a contemporary cohort of patients treated with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) ST. Methods and patients Rectal bleeding of any grade was reported by 56 (22%) of 255 men in a PROM-survey at a median follow-up of 6.7 years after 3DCRT ST. Treatment plan data were extracted and dose–response relationships for the rectal volumes receiving at least 35 Gy (V35Gy) or 63 Gy (V63Gy) were calculated with logistic regression. These relationships were used to estimate the risk of rectal bleeding for a cohort of 253 patients treated with VMAT ST. Results In the dose–response analysis of patients in the 3DCRT ST cohort, both rectal V35Gy and V63Gy were statistically significant parameters in univariable analysis (p = 0.005 and 0.003, respectively). For the dose–response models using either rectal V35Gy or V63Gy, the average calculated risk of rectal bleeding was 14% among men treated with VMAT ST compared to a reported prevalence of 22% for men treated with 3DCRT ST. Conclusions We identified dose–response relationships between the rectal dose distribution and the risk of self-reported rectal bleeding of any grade in a long-term perspective for men treated with 3DCRT ST. Furthermore, VMAT ST may have the potential to decrease the prevalence of late rectal bleeding.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarizes the effects of prehabilitative exercise interventions on the physical, psychosocial, and biological outcomes among patients with cancer. Current gaps and future directions in prehabilitative exercise research will be addressed. RECENT FINDINGS Prehabilitative exercise mitigates the detrimental impact of cancer surgery on physical fitness, noted by increases in maximal oxygen consumption and 6-min walk distance. Beneficial effects on psychosocial and biological outcomes remain inconclusive. Aerobic exercise interventions were often prescribed and included low-, moderate-, or high-intensity exercise. Resistance exercise interventions were often performed in conjunction with aerobic exercise. Prehabilitative exercise elicits robust improvements in physical fitness; however, effect on psychosocial and biological outcomes remains inconclusive. Exercise prescription parameters varied greatly by frequency, intensity, time, and type across multiple cancer diagnoses. Future investigations are needed to systematically dose exercise for a wider variety of outcome measures, with an overall goal to set forth pre-operative exercise guidelines.
