- Prostate biopsy in patients with long-term use of indwelling bladder catheter: What is the rationale?(2012) ANTUNES, Alberto A.; BARBOSA, Joao Arthur B. A.; REIS, Sabrina T.; GUARIERO, Mary S.; FUKUSHIMA, Julia T.; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos F.; FREIRE, Geraldo de C.; LUCON, Antonio M.; LEITE, Katia R.; SROUGI, MiguelObjective: Acute urinary retention (AUR) is expected to occur in 2% to 39% men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. To date, no study has elucidated the effect of long-term use of indwelling bladder catheter on serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels and on the incidence of prostate cancer (CaP). The aim of the present study is to analyze the incidence of CaP in patients with long-term use of indwelling bladder catheter and determine some practice patterns on this issue. Materials and methods: The study comprised a retrospective analysis of data from 1,651 patients who had undergone transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy from July 2004 to June 2009. Among these patients, 198 (12%) were using an indwelling bladder catheter during the biopsy for at least 1 month. The incidence of CaP was recorded according to total PSA levels. Other variables such patient age, free/total PSA rate, PSA density, prostate volume, and duration of catheter use was also analyzed. Men with a digital rectal examination suspicious for cancer were not considered for analysis. Results: Median patient age was 71 years (37 to 89 years). Overall, 25% of patients presented a CaP diagnosis. CaP incidence according to the PSA levels was 0%, 18.9%, 24.5%, and 40.6% for patients with PSA <= 4.0, 4.1-10.0, 10.1-20.0, and >20.0 ng/ml, respectively. When prostate volume was analyzed together, we demonstrated that only 1 (2.4%) patient with PSA below 10.0 ng/ml and prostate volume >60 g had CaP. Median total PSA, PSA density, and prostate volume were statistically different between patients with and without CaP. Conclusions: Prostate biopsy should not be indicated for all patients with diagnosis of BPH and AUR who present an elevated PSA level. Patients with PSA below 10.0 ng/ml, and prostate volume >60 g should only undergo biopsy in selected cases. Patients with PSA >20.0 ng/ml and a prostate volume <= 60 g are at higher risk of CaP diagnosis.
article 13 Citação(ões) na Scopus Socioeconomic status is an independent predictor of biochemical recurrence among patients with prostate cancer who undergo radical prostatectomy(2011) SROUGI, Victor; ANTUNES, Alberto A.; REIS, Sabrina T.; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos F.; NESRALLAH, Adriano J.; LEITE, Ktia R. M.; SROUGI, MiguelPurpose: Socioeconomic status (SES) may influence cancer characteristics and behavior in several aspects. We analyzed PCa characteristics and behavior among low income uninsured men, and compare them to high income patients with health insurance in a developing country. Materials and Methods: A retrospective case-control study was performed on 934 patients with clinically localized PCa who underwent radical prostatectomy between March, 1999 and July, 2009. Patients were divided in two groups, according to their SES. In group 1 (n=380), all had low income, low educational levels and couldn't afford medical insurance. In group 2 (n=554), all had higher income, higher education and had medical insurance. Results: Patients from group 1 were older, had higher Gleason scores, higher rates of seminal vesicle and bladder neck involvement. The Kaplan Meier disease-free survival curve demonstrated that after a follow-up of four years, about 50% of uninsured patients had biochemical recurrence, versus 21% of insured patients (Log rank test: p < 0.001). A multivariate Cox regression analysis for the risk of disease recurrence demonstrated that only PSA levels, Gleason score, seminal vesicle involvement and SES were statistically significant variables. Patients with a low SES presented 1.8 times the risk of recurrence as compared to patients with a high SES. Conclusions: Patients with low SES were older, presented more aggressive PCa characteristics and a high rate of disease recurrence. A low SES constituted an independent predictor for disease recurrence.- Biochemical recurrence rates are similar for pT2-positive surgical margins and pT3a(2014) LEITE, Katia R. M.; HARTMANN, Carolina; REIS, Sabrina T.; VIANA, Nayara; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos F.; ST'ANNA, Alexandre C.; NESRALLAH, Adriano; NESRALLAH, Luciano; ANTUNES, Alberto A.; CAMARA-LOPES, Luiz H.; SROUGI, MiguelObjective: Histological details of positive surgical margins in radical prostatectomy specimens have been related to outcome after surgery in rare studies recently published. Our objective is to assess whether the status of surgical margins, the extent and the Gleason score of positive margins, and the extent of the extraprostatic extension are predictive of biochemical recurrence post-radical prostatectomy. Materials and Methods: Three hundred sixty-five radical prostatectomy specimens were analyzed. The length of the positive surgical margin and extraprostatic extension and the Gleason score of the margin were recorded. Statistical analyses examined the predictive value of these variables for biochemical recurrence. Results: 236 patients were stage pT2R0, 58 pT2R1, 25 pT3R0 and 46 pT3R1. Biochemical recurrence occurred in 11%, 31%, 20% and 45.7% of pT2R0, pT2R1, pT3R0 and pT3R1, respectively. The extent of the positive surgical margins and the Gleason score of the positive surgical margins were not associated with biochemical recurrence in univariate analysis in a mean follow up period of 35.9 months. In multivariate analyses, only the status of the surgical margins and the global Gleason score were associated with biochemical recurrence, with a risk of recurrence of 3.1 for positive surgical margins and of 3.8 for a Gleason score > 7. Conclusion: Positive surgical margin and the global Gleason score are significant risk factors for biochemical recurrence post-radical prostatectomy, regardless of the extent of the surgical margin, the extent of the extraprostatic extension, or the local Gleason score of the positive surgical margin or extraprostatic tissue. pT2R1 disease behaves as pT3R0 and should be treated similarly.
- Does the Presence of Median Lobe Affect Outcomes of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy?(2012) COELHO, Rafael F.; CHAUHAN, Sanket; GUGLIELMETTI, Giuliano B.; ORVIETO, Marcelo A.; SIVARAMAN, Ananthakrishnan; PALMER, Kenneth J.; ROCCO, Bernardo; COUGHLIN, Geoff; HASSAN, Rayan El; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos F.; PATEL, Vipul R.Purpose: To determine whether the presence of median lobe (ML) affects perioperative outcomes, positive surgical margin (PSM) rates, and recovery of urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Patients and Methods: We analyzed 1693 consecutive patients undergoing RARP performed by a single surgeon. Patients were analyzed in two groups based on the presence or not of a ML identified during RARP. Perioperative outcomes, PSM rates, and recovery of urinary continence were compared between the groups. Continence was assessed using validated questionnaires, and it was defined as the use of ""no pads"" postoperatively. Results: A ML was identified in 323 (19%) patients. Both groups had similar estimated blood loss, length of hospital stay, pathologic stage, complication rates, anastomotic leakage rates, overall PSM rates, and PSM rate at the bladder neck. The median overall operative time was slightly greater in patients with ML (80 vs 75 min, P < 0.001); however, there was no difference in the operative time when stratifying this result by prostate weight. Continence rates were also similar between patients with and without ML at 1 week (27.8% vs 27%, P = 0.870), 4 weeks (42.3% vs 48%, P = 0.136), 12 weeks (82.5% vs 86.8%, P = 0.107), and 24 weeks (91.5% vs 94.1%, P = 0.183) after catheter removal. Finally, the median time to recovery of continence was similar between the groups (median: 5 wks, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.41-5.59 vs median: 5 wks, CI 4.66-5.34; log rank test, P = 0.113). Conclusion: The presence of a ML does not affect outcomes of RARP performed by an experienced surgeon.
- GREB1 tissue expression is associated with organ-confined prostate cancer(2012) ANTUNES, Alberto A.; LEITE, Katia R.; REIS, Sabrina T.; SOUSA-CANAVEZ, Juliana M.; CAMARA-LOPES, Luiz H.; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos F.; SROUGI, MiguelObjective: By reason of its heterogeneous behavior, it is difficult to determine the prognosis of many prostate cancer cases. Patients with the same clinicopathologic conditions may present varying clinical findings and rates of progression. We determined the role of new genes as potential molecular markers for prostate cancer prognosis. Materials and methods: We performed a microarray analysis of two pools of patients with prostate cancer divided according to their clinicopathologic characteristics. After that, we validated these results by testing the genes with most different expressions between the two pools using the quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction method. We analyzed gene expression in 33 patients with localized prostate cancer according to prostate specific antigen (PSA), pathologic stage, Gleason score, and biochemical recurrence. For statistical analysis we used the Mann-Whitney Test. Results: The microarray analysis revealed that 4,147 genes presented a different expression between the two pools. Among them, 3 genes, TMEFF2, GREB1, and THIL,, were at least 13-times overexpressed, and 1 gene, IGH3, which was at least 5times under-expressed in pool 1 (good prognosis) compared with pool 2 (bad prognosis), were selected for analysis. After the validation tests, GREB1 was significantly more overexpressed among patients with stage T2 compared with T3 (P = 0.020). The expressions of other 3 genes did not present significant differences according to the clinicopatholoOcal variables. Conclusions: Tissue expression of GREB1 is associated with organ-confined prostate cancer and may constitute a gene associated with a favorable prognosis.
conferenceObject OCCUPATIONAL RISK FOR INITIAL BLADDER CANCER DIAGNOSIS IN BRAZIL(2012) ADONIAS, Sanarelly; CHADE, Daher C.; SANT'ANNA, Alexandre C.; REIS, Sabrina T.; ABE, Daniel K.; AREAS, Flavio G. M.; SUZAKI, T. T.; LEITE, Katia R.; SROUGI, Miguel; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos F.- Expression profile of microrna-145 in urothelial bladder cancer(2013) DIP, Nelson; REIS, Sabrina T.; SROUGI, Miguel; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos F.; LEITE, Katia R. M.Purpose: Bladder cancer (BC) is the second most common malignancy of the urinary tract, with high mortality. The knowledge of the molecular pathways associated with BC carcinogenesis is crucial to identify new diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA molecules that play important roles in the regulation of gene expression by acting directly on mRNAs. miR-145 has been considered as a tumor suppressor, which targets the c-MYC, MUC-1 and FSCN1 genes. Our aim was to evaluate the expression profile of miR-145 in low-grade non-invasive and high-grade invasive bladder urothelial carcinomas. Materials and Methods: We studied 30 specimens of low-grade, non-invasive pTa and 30 of pT2/pT3 high-grade invasive UC obtained by transurethral resection or radical cystectomy, followed over a mean time of 16.1 months. Normal controls were represented by five samples of normal bladder biopsy from patients who underwent retropubic prostatectomy to treat BPH. miRNA extraction and cDNA generation were performed using commercial kits. Analysis was performed by qRT-PCR, and miR-145 expression was calculated using the 2-(Delta Delta ct) method; we used RNU-43 and RNU-48 as endogenous controls. Results: miR-145 was under-expressed in 73.3% and 86.7% of pTa and pT2/pT3, respectively, with expression means of 1.61 for the former and 0.66 for the last. There were no significant differences in miR-145 expression and histological grade, tumor stage, angiolymphatic neoplastic invasion and tumor recurrence. Conclusion: miR-145 is under-expressed in low-grade, non-invasive and high-grade invasive urothelial bladder carcinoma and may play an important role in the carcinogenesis pathway, being an interesting candidate diagnostic marker.
- Early Experience with Targeted Therapy and Dendritic Cell Vaccine in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma after Nephrectomy(2011) DALL'OGLIO, Marcos F.; SOUSA-CANAVEZ, Juliana M.; TANNO, Fabio Y.; TISEO, Bruno C.; CRIPPA, Alexandre; REIS, Sabrina T. dos; LEITE, Katia R. M.; SROUGI, MiguelPurpose: Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most treatment-resistant malignancies and nephrectomy, isolated or combined with systemic chemotherapy typically has limited or no effectiveness. We report our initial results in patients treated with the association of molecular targeted therapy, nephrectomy, and hybrid dendritic-tumor cell (DC) vaccine. Materials and Methods: Two male patients diagnosed with metastatic RCC were selected for the study. They were treated with the triple strategy, in which sunitinib (50 mg per day) was given for 4 weeks, followed by radical nephrectomy after two weeks. DC vaccine was initiated immediately after surgery and repeated monthly. Sunitinib was restarted daily after 2 to 3 weeks of surgery with a 7-day interval every 4 weeks. Results: Both patients had complete adherence to the proposed treatment with DC vaccine therapy combined with sunitinib. Follow-up in these patients at 9 and 10 months demonstrated a stable disease in both, as shown by imaging and clinical findings, with no further treatment required. Conclusion: The immune response obtained with DC vaccine combined with the antiangiogenic effect of sunitinib and the potential benefits of cytoreductive nephrectomy in advanced disease could represent a new option in the treatment of metastatic RCC. Further prospective trials are needed not only to elucidate the ideal dosing and schedule, but also to better define the proof-of-concept proposed in this report and its role in clinical practice.
- The influence of previous robotic experience in the initial learning curve of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(2017) DIAS NETO, Jose Anastacio; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos F.; COLOMBO JR., Joao Roberto; COELHO, Rafael F.; NAHAS, William CarlosIntroduction: This study analyzed the impact of the experience with Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy (RALP) on the initial experience with Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (LRP) by examining perioperative results and early outcomes of 110 patients. LRPs were performed by two ro-botic fellowship trained surgeons with daily practice in RALP. Patients and Methods: 110 LRP were performed to treat aleatory selected patients. The patients were divided into 4 groups for prospective analyses. A transperitoneal approach that simulates the RALP technique was used. Results: The median operative time was 163 minutes (110-240), and this time significantly decreased through case 40, when the time plateaued (p= 0.0007). The median blood loss was 250mL. No patients required blood transfusion. There were no life-threatening complications or deaths. Minor complications were uniformly distributed along the series (P= 0.6401). The overall positive surgical margins (PSM) rate was 28.2% (20% in pT2 and 43.6% in pT3). PSM was in the prostate apex in 61.3% of cases. At the 12-month follow-up, 88% of men were continent (0-1 pad). Conclusions: The present study shows that there are multiple learning curves for LRP. The shallowest learning curve was seen for the operative time. Surgeons transitioning between the RALP and LRP techniques were considered competent based on the low perioperative complication rate, absence of major complications, and lack of blood transfusions. This study shows that a learning curve still exists and that there are factors that must be considered by surgeons transitioning between the two techniques.
- MicroRNA-100 Expression is Independently Related to Biochemical Recurrence of Prostate Cancer(2011) LEITE, Katia R. M.; TOMIYAMA, Alberto; REIS, Sabrina T.; SOUSA-CANAVEZ, Juliana M.; SANUDO, Adriana; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos F.; CAMARA-LOPES, Luiz H.; SROUGI, MiguelPurpose: Abnormal miRNA expression has emerged as crucial factors in carcinogenesis and is important in the comprehension of prostate cancer behavior. We determined the correlation of miRNA expression profiles with prostate cancer progression. Materials and Methods: We studied frozen specimens from 49 patients treated for prostate cancer with radical prostatectomy. We intentionally chose 28 men without and 21 with biochemical recurrence, defined as prostate specific antigen greater than 0.2 ng/ml. The expression of 14 miRNAs was determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. All radical prostatectomy specimens were studied in toto to determine tumor volume, Gleason score and 2002 TNM pathological stage. Benign prostate tissue from benign prostatic hyperplasia served as a control. Results: Four miRNAs were related to tumor recurrence. Using the Cox regression test the risk of recurrence was 3.0, 3.3, 2.7 and 3.4 for high levels of miR-100, miR-145, miR-191 and miR-let7c, respectively. When considering statistically significant clinical variables on univariate analysis of biochemical-free survival, prostate specific antigen and tumor volume, results revealed that miR-100 and tumor volume were independently related to tumor recurrence. Conclusions: A high level of miR-100 is related to biochemical recurrence of localized prostate cancer in patients treated with radical prostatectomy. The role of miR-100 during carcinogenesis must be resolved in future studies to better understand the molecular pathways in which miR-100 is involved. This may open the possibility of using it as a prognostic marker and inspire the development of a target drug.
