Cardiovascular effects of androgen deprivation therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer: ABCDE steps to reduce cardiovascular disease in patients with prostate cancer.
Since cardiovascular disease risk may be increased by the use of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), the researchers have adapted the five-step "ABCDE" algorithm for prostate cancer survivors. Its treatment recommendations come under the following headings: awareness and aspirin, blood pressure, cholesterol and cigarettes, diet and diabetes, and exercise. The algorithm is illustrated by a hypothetical case study.

Resource use in the last year of life among patients who died with versus of prostate cancer.
The researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare data of men with prostate cancer. Patients who died of prostate cancer rather than from other causes had more hospice and outpatient use, less inpatient and ICU use, and lower overall costs. Efforts to shift care toward outpatient settings might provide more efficient and judicious care for patients during the end of life.

The comparative harms of open and robotic prostatectomy in population based samples.
Using population cohort data,the researchers examined sexual and urinary function in men undergoing open radical prostatectomy vs those undergoing robotic assisted radical prostatectomy. They found that men undergoing robotic assisted radical prostatectomy likely experience less decline in early urinary continence and sexual function than those undergoing open radical prostatectomy.
