カンボジアにおける前立腺がん治療の改善：個人的・専門的な道のり

Building prostate cancer care in a country with limited resources is a very different challenge from practising it in a well-equipped centre. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone reflects on serving as International Faculty at the 3rd Asian Urological Oncology Forum and on what it took to improve prostate cancer detection and treatment in Cambodia.

ロボット泌尿器科手術の時代

ロボット手術は、宇宙や軍事分野における遠隔操作の研究として始まり、現在では前立腺がん手術の標準治療となっている。ソアラウィー・ウィーラソポネ医師は、ダ・ヴィンチ・システムが5世代にわたってどのように進化してきたかをたどり、その優れた点と欠点について率直に解説する。.

MRI-Fusion Transperineal Prostate Biopsy: What It Changes, and What It Does Not

Two separate advances often get credited to each other. MRI targeting is what improves what the biopsy finds; the transperineal route is what makes serious infection rare. Understanding which does what changes how you read the numbers.

Ureteral Stricture: How a Narrowed Ureter Can Destroy a Kidney Silently

A narrowing in the tube from kidney to bladder often causes no symptoms at all, because the other kidney quietly takes over. By the time anything is noticed, function on that side may already be lost — which is why follow-up imaging after stone or pelvic surgery matters.

Lycopene and Prostate Cancer: What the Evidence Actually Supports

Tomatoes are good food. That is not the same as a proven way to prevent prostate cancer — and the processed sauces this article once recommended as the best sources come with problems of their own.

Polycystic Kidney Disease: What It Means, and What Can Now Be Done

An inherited condition in which cysts gradually replace both kidneys. Each child of an affected parent has a one in two chance — and unlike a few years ago, there is now a drug that slows it in those progressing fastest.

Prostate Cancer Prevention: What the Evidence Supports, and What It Does Not

Sorted by how good the evidence actually is. Weight, smoking and alcohol are worth acting on. The supplement advice this page used to give has been withdrawn — one of those recommendations was tested in a large trial and failed.

Androgen Deprivation Therapy for Prostate Cancer: How It Works, and What It Costs

Lowering testosterone controls prostate cancer effectively — and takes a real toll on bone, heart, muscle, mood and sexual function. What ADT does, what it does to you, and what should be monitored alongside the PSA.

前立腺MRI検査報告書の理解：PI-RADSスコアの意味するもの

PI-RADS grades how suspicious an area on the scan looks, from 1 to 5. A low score is reassuring but is not a zero, a score of 3 is genuinely undecided rather than an automatic biopsy, and the number is one input among several.

Bladder Tumour Surgery: Conventional TURBT and Laser En-Bloc Resection Compared

Two ways of removing a bladder tumour through a telescope. The laser en-bloc technique gives the pathologist a better specimen and removes one specific danger — but it does not suit every tumour, and the operation is only the first part of the treatment.
