PSA-based screening is associated with reduced prostate cancer-specific mortality in adult populations
PSA screening shows link to lower prostate cancer death rates
This meta-analysis evaluated the impact of PSA-based screening on prostate cancer-specific mortality in adults. The authors found a reductio…
A large analysis of over 700,000 men shows that PSA-based screening is linked to a lower risk of dying from prostate cancer.
Pre-stenting increases FANS-UAS placement success from 80.0% to 94.8% in RIRS for kidney stones
Pre-stenting improves success rates for kidney stone surgery
This randomized controlled trial of 221 patients undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery found that pre-stenting significantly improved FAN…
