Upper tract urothelial carcinoma topical issue 2016: treatment of metastatic cancer.

PURPOSE: To review the management of metastatic upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) including recent advances in targeted and immune therapies as an update to the 2014 joint international consultation on UTUC, co-sponsored by the Société Internationale d'Urologie and International Consultation on Urological Diseases. METHODS: A PubMed database search was performed between January 2013 and May 2016 related to the treatment of metastatic UTUC, and 54 studies were selected for inclusion. RESULTS: The management of patients with metastatic UTUC is primarily an extrapolation from evidence guiding the management of metastatic urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. The first-line therapy for metastatic UTUC is platinum-based combination chemotherapy. Standard second-line therapies are limited and ineffective. Patients with UTUC who progress following platinum-based chemotherapy are encouraged to participate in clinical trials. Recent advances in genomic profiling present exciting opportunities to guide the use of targeted therapy. Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors has demonstrated extremely promising results. Retrospective studies provide support for post-chemotherapy surgery in appropriately selected patients. CONCLUSIONS: The management of metastatic UTUC requires a multi-disciplinary approach. New insights from genomic profiling using targeted therapies, novel immunotherapies, and surgery represent promising avenues for further therapeutic exploration.

Sexual dysfunction in testicular cancer patients subjected to post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection: a focus beyond ejaculation disorders.

Post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (PC-RPLND) represents an integral part of multidisciplinary treatment of advanced germ cell cancer; however, it is associated with a high complications rate. The present study aimed to describe sexual disorders in 53 patients with testicular cancer who underwent full bilateral, non-nerve-sparing PC-RPLND in our institution, focusing beyond ejaculatory dysfunction. The International Index for Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire was used as diagnostic tool of male sexual functioning pre-operatively and three months after RPLND, while post-operatively patients were asked to describe and evaluate changes in selected sexual parameters. Study findings demonstrate mixed pattern of changes in sexual functioning, with no difference in erectile functioning before and after operation. However, orgasmic function and intercourse and overall sexual satisfaction were found significantly impaired post-operatively. Sexual desire and frequency of attempted sexual intercourses were found significantly increased post-operatively, in comparison with pre-operative levels. With regard to patients' subjective perception on sexual functioning alterations after PC-RPLND, a significant number of patients reported higher levels of sexual desire, no difference in erectile function and worse orgasmic function and satisfaction post-operatively. Thus, patients subjected to PC-RPLND should be closely and routinely evaluated due to close relationship of sexual dissatisfaction with secondary psychological disorders.

Integrating chemohormonal therapy and surgery in known or suspected lymph node metastatic prostate cancer.

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer persisting in the primary site after systemic therapy may contribute to emergence of resistance and progression. We previously demonstrated molecular characteristics of lethal cancer in the prostatectomy specimens of patients presenting with lymph node metastasis after chemohormonal treatment. Here we report the post-treatment outcomes of these patients and assess whether a link exists between surgery and treatment-free/cancer-free survival. METHODS: Patients with either clinically detected lymph node metastasis or primaries at high risk for nodal dissemination were treated with androgen ablation and docetaxel. Those responding with PSA concentration <1 ng ml(-1) were recommended surgery 1 year from enrollment. ADT was withheld postoperatively. The rate of survival without biochemical progression 1 year after surgery was measured to screen for efficacy. RESULTS: Forty patients were enrolled and 39 were evaluable. Three patients (7.7%) declined surgery. Of the remaining 36, 4 patients experienced disease progression during treatment and 4 more did not reach PSA <1. Twenty-six patients (67%) completed surgery, and 13 (33%) were also progression-free 1 year postoperatively (8 with undetectable PSA). With a median follow-up of 61 months, time to treatment failure was 27 months in the patients undergoing surgery. The most frequent patterns of first disease recurrence were biochemical (10 patients) and systemic (5). CONCLUSIONS: Half of the patients undergoing surgery were off treatment and progression-free 1 year following completion of all therapy. These results suggest that integration of surgery is feasible and may be superior to systemic therapy alone for selected prostate cancer patients presenting with nodal metastasis.

Adjuvant and salvage radiotherapy after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.

PURPOSE: The optimal role of radiotherapy (RT) to the prostate bed after radical prostatectomy (RP) is the subject of much debate. In this study, the results of adjuvant RT (ART) and salvage RT (SRT) were compared. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A total of 146 lymph node-negative patients were treated postoperatively after RP with RT to the prostate bed between 1987 and 1998. Of these, 75 patients had an undetectable prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and were treated with ART for adverse pathologic features only to a median dose of 60 Gy (range 51-70). A positive margin was identified in 96%, and two of the three with negative margins had seminal vesicle involvement (SVI). SRT was administered for either a persistently detectable PSA level after RP (n = 27) or for a delayed rise in PSA (n = 44) to a median dose of 70 Gy (range 60-78). Adjuvant androgen ablation was given to 37 patients; 2 who had received ART and 35 had who received SRT. The median duration of androgen ablation was 24 months. The primary end point was freedom from biochemical failure (bNED), which was considered to be an undetectable PSA level. The median follow-up was 53 months for all patients: 68 months for the ART patients and 35 months for the SRT patients. RESULTS: For the ART group, 8 patients subsequently developed a rising PSA level. The 5-year bNED rate was 88%. SVI was the strongest predictor of outcome, with a 5-year bNED rate of 94% for those without SVI and 65% for those with SVI (p = 0.0002). SVI was the only significant factor in Cox proportional hazards regression analysis in the ART cohort. For the SRT group, 20 patients developed a rising PSA level after RT. The 5-year bNED rate was 66% for all SRT patients, and 43% and 78% in those with a persistently detectable PSA and those with a delayed rise in PSA, respectively. In the Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, this subdivision of SRT was statistically significant. Moreover, when the Cox model included all patients and variables, the timing of RT (ART vs. SRT) was an independent correlate of bNED, as was androgen ablation. CONCLUSION: For RP patients with high-risk pathologic features, the timing of postoperative RT and the PSA status after RP were strong determinants of outcome. Because of the potential confounding factors, direct comparisons of ART and SRT are problematic; however, ART is extremely effective and offers the surest approach for maintaining biochemical control.

Adult prostate sarcoma: the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Experience.

PURPOSE: Sarcoma of prostate origin is rare. Historically, long-term survival rates for adult patients with prostate sarcoma are poor. We analyzed the experience of 1 institution with prostate sarcoma during the last 3 decades. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The records of 21 patients with prostate sarcoma were reviewed to identify symptoms at presentation, diagnostic procedures, presence and development of metastases, staging evaluation, histological subtype, grade and size of the primary tumor, and treatment sequence, including surgery, and preoperative and postoperative therapies. Several clinicopathological variables were assessed for prognostic importance. RESULTS: Most patients presented with urinary obstruction. The diagnosis of prostate sarcoma was usually established with ultrasound guided biopsy or transurethral resection. Histological subtypes were leiomyosarcoma in 12, rhabdomyosarcoma in 4, malignant fibrous histiocytoma in 1 and unclassified sarcoma in 4 patients. At last followup, 8 patients had no evidence of disease after a median of 81.5 months (range 10 to 197). The remaining 13 patients died of sarcoma (median survival 18 months, range 3 to 94). The 1, 3 and 5-year actuarial survival rates for all 21 patients were 81%, 43% and 38%, respectively. Factors predictive of long-term survival were negative surgical margins (p = 0.0005) and absence of metastatic disease at presentation (p = 0.0004). Tumor size and grade, and the histological subtype of prostate sarcoma had no significant influence on actuarial survival. CONCLUSIONS: The long-term disease specific survival rate for adults with prostate sarcoma is poor. Early diagnosis and complete surgical resection offer patients the best chance for cure.

Radical cystectomy for invasive bladder cancer in the octogenarian.

The incidence of bladder cancer increases with age. As the population lives longer, an increasing number of patients 80 years of age or older will develop invasive bladder cancer. In this study, we reviewed the outcome of 33 patients age 80 years or older treated with radical cystectomy and ileal conduit urinary diversion. Five patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and 2 had salvage cystectomy after failure of external beam radiation therapy. The median age was 82 years, and the median hospital stay was 12 days. There were no perioperative deaths. Twenty-seven complications occurred in 20 patients (60.6%), of which 17 were minor (63%) and 10 were major (37%). There was no difference in the rate of complications in patients receiving neoadjuvant treatment compared to the group treated with cystectomy alone. The median survival was 3.5 years. Our results demonstrate that radical cystectomy and ileal conduit urinary diversion should not be withheld from patients on the basis of age.

Differential expression of c-erb B2/neu, epidermal growth factor receptor, cytokeratin 8, and the prostatic steroid-binding protein gene in rat ventral prostate during postnatal development.

BACKGROUND: The development and progression of prostate neoplasia may recapitulate the early developmental pattern of expression of genes in the prostate. The study of prostate development may, therefore, provide insights into the molecular mechanisms important in prostate neoplasia and reveal new markers. METHODS: We compared postnatal expression of four genes: neu and epidermal growth factor receptor genes (EGFR), androgen-upregulated in the ventral prostate of adult rats (C-3), and androgen-repressed (CK8) in Sprague-Dawley rats. In situ hybridization was performed on prostate frozen sections collected on postnatal days 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 60 from five rats per day. Staining intensities for antisense probes specific for each gene were determined relative to day 1 intensity. RESULTS: Growth factor receptors including neu and EGFR may be coordinately regulated in the basal-cell population during prostate development. CK8 and C-3 show evidence of similar androgen regulation during development. CONCLUSIONS: CK8 and C-3 have distinct patterns of expression in the postnatal period of development and these genes may be good markers of differentiation. Both neu and EGFR may be involved in androgen-independent growth of basal cell population in prostate. Prostate 47:164-171, 2001.

Local tumor control with salvage cryotherapy for locally recurrent prostate cancer after external beam radiotherapy.

PURPOSE: We identified variables associated with a positive prostate biopsy after salvage cryotherapy in patients in whom initial external beam radiotherapy for prostate cancer failed to improve our cryotherapy technique, optimize local control and improve our patient selection criteria for salvage cryotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between July 1992 and January 1995, 145 patients underwent salvage cryotherapy. Post-cryotherapy sextant prostate biopsies were performed in 107 cases. We evaluated certain variables on univariate and multivariate analysis as predictors of a positive biopsy after cryotherapy, including the type of previous therapy, tumor stage and grade at initial diagnosis, prostate volume, pre-cryotherapy prostate specific antigen (PSA), number of positive biopsy cores before cryotherapy, PSA nadir after cryotherapy, stage and grade of local recurrence, number of cryoprobes, number of freeze-thaw cycles and use of a urethral warming catheter during cryotherapy. RESULTS: Biopsies were positive in 23 cases (21%) after salvage cryotherapy. Variables associated with a positive biopsy on univariate analysis were initial stage, precryotherapy PSA, PSA nadir after cryotherapy, number of cryoprobes, number of freeze-thaw cycles and a history of chemotherapy (p = 0.005, 0.027, 0.001, 0.009, 0.018 and 0.008, respectively). Variables that remained associated with a positive biopsy on multivariate analysis were the number of probes used and post-cryotherapy PSA nadir (p = 0.013 and 0.019, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with initial clinical stage T1-2N0M0 disease and PSA no more than 10 ng./ml. have a higher rate of negative biopsies after salvage cryotherapy. Therefore, they are better candidates for salvage cryotherapy for locally recurrent prostate adenocarcinoma after external beam radiotherapy. To optimize the potential for local control the technique of salvage cryotherapy should include 2 freeze-thaw cycles and a minimum of 5 cryoprobes. Detectable PSA after salvage cryotherapy is a strong predictor of local failure.

Major surgery to manage definitively severe complications of salvage cryotherapy for prostate cancer.

PURPOSE: Severe complications of salvage cryotherapy may be debilitating and chronic but these complications may be managed by definitive extirpative surgical procedures. We evaluated the effectiveness of the major surgical procedures performed to manage these complications, and assessed patient survival and complications after extirpative surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 1992 and 1995 salvage cryotherapy was performed in 150 men with biopsy proved, locally recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy and/or systemic therapy. We retrospectively reviewed patient charts to assess the complications managed by extirpative surgery. RESULTS: Extirpative surgery was performed in 6 of the 150 patients for serious complications, including uncontrollable hematuria, osteitis pubis, rectourethral fistula, refractory perineal pain, bladder outlet obstruction and complete urinary incontinence. Cystoprostatectomy was done in 4 patients, of whom 3 also underwent en bloc pubic symphysectomy. In the remaining 2 men salvage prostatectomy was performed with bladder neck closure and continent catheterizable stomal creation. Surgery successfully managed severe cryotherapy complications in all 6 cases. The complications of extirpative surgery included superficial wound infection in 1 patient and 3 incisional hernias in another. Prostate specific antigen was undetectable in 4 of the 6 men at 36, 38, 39 and 42 months, and detectable in 2 at 31 and 41 months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Extirpative surgery may successfully alleviate severe salvage cryotherapy complications without major additive morbidity. Long survival duration justifies extirpative surgery in select patients with severe complications of salvage cryotherapy.

Ad5CMVp53 gene therapy for locally advanced prostate cancer--where do we stand?

Despite the introduction of screening procedures and an increased public awareness of prostate cancer, a substantial number of patients present with locally advanced prostate cancer. Traditional therapies (such as radiation therapy or radical prostatectomy) applied either alone or in combination fail to control local disease in a large number of cases and have no effect on disseminated disease. Recent advances in molecular oncology and genetics have led to such novel therapies as p53 gene therapy, which we are currently evaluating in a clinical protocol in patients with locally advanced (nonmetastatic) prostatic cancer. Ad5CMVp53 (RPR/INGN 201) has previously shown promise in both patients with lung cancer and those with head and neck cancer. The traditional end points used to appraise prostate cancer preclude rapid evaluation of the patient's disease and prevent modification of the therapeutic strategy, and we suggest that the pathologic stage after therapy be evaluated as an intermediate end point.

Salvage prostatectomy with continent catheterizable urinary reconstruction: a novel approach to recurrent prostate cancer after radiation therapy.

PURPOSE: Salvage prostatectomy after full dose radiation therapy is associated with a high risk of urinary incontinence. We evaluated the complications of salvage prostatectomy with continent catheterizable reconstruction and its impact on urinary incontinence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between August 1995 and February 1999, 13 patients with biopsy proved, locally recurrent prostate cancer after radiation therapy underwent salvage prostatectomy with complete bladder neck closure and reconstruction with an appendicovesicostomy to the native bladder in 9 and ileovesicostomy in 4. RESULTS: There were no intraoperative complications. Four patients had serious complications necessitating reoperation, including a vesicourethral fistula requiring delayed cystectomy, wound dehiscence with disruption of the appendicovesical anastomosis, leakage from the small bowel anastomosis that resulted in sepsis and death, and stomal stenosis requiring delayed stomal revision in 1 each. Of 12 patients 2 (17%) used pads for incontinence, while 10 were dry during the day and night with a catheterization interval of 2 to 6 hours. CONCLUSIONS: Salvage prostatectomy with continent catheterizable reconstruction is a technically challenging operation with the potential for serious complications. The postoperative continence rate is excellent and appears superior to those in the literature for salvage prostatectomy and vesicourethral anastomosis.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and hormonal therapy followed by radical prostatectomy: feasibility and preliminary results.

PURPOSE: We assessed the feasibility and efficacy of integrating chemotherapy and androgen ablation with radical prostatectomy in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer. The neoadjuvant approach was adopted because it allows an in situ assessment of antitumoral activity. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty-three patients were enrolled who met the clinical criteria of stage T1-2, Gleason score of >/= 8 or T2b-T2c, Gleason score of 7 and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level greater than 10 ng/mL (n = 15), or clinical stage T3 (n = 18). Therapy consisted of 12 weeks of ketoconazole and doxorubicin alternating with vinblastine, estramustine, and androgen ablation followed by prostatectomy. The ability of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and hormonal therapy to induce a 20% rate of pT0 in the prostatectomy specimen as well as surgical feasibility were assessed. RESULTS: Chemotherapy complications were comparable to those reported with this regimen previously. No major intraoperative complications occurred. Postoperative complications occurred in 10 (33%) of 30 patients. One patient died at home after discharge (postoperative day 17; no autopsy was performed). Ten (33%) of the 30 patients had organ-confined disease, and 20 (70%) of 30 had extraprostatic extension; 11 (37%) of the 30 had positive lymph nodes. Only five (17%) of 30 exhibited positive surgical margins. All patients achieved an undetectable PSA level postoperatively, and 20 of the surviving 29 patients remain without disease recurrence with a median follow-up of 13 months (range, 9 to 18 months). CONCLUSION: Chemotherapy and androgen ablation followed by radical prostatectomy was feasible in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer. Although the goal of achieving a 20% rate for pT0 status was not achieved, we believe this type of integrated therapeutic strategy should be investigated further for its ability to alter the course of regionally advanced prostate cancer.

Magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography before postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.

OBJECTIVES: Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) after primary chemotherapy is an accepted therapeutic approach for metastatic nonseminomatous germ cell testicular cancer. Because of the intense desmoplastic reaction and adherence to venous and arterial walls, accurate imaging of the retroperitoneal vasculature and its relation to residual tumor is essential. We report our experience with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), including the recently developed technique of bolus-contrast MRA, in patients undergoing postchemotherapy RPLND. METHODS: Eighteen patients underwent MRI of the retroperitoneal region before RPLND. In addition to routine sequences, MRA was performed in 10 patients, including 8 with a three-dimensional technique using bolus intravenous MR contrast. Results were compared with intraoperative and pathologic findings. RESULTS: MRI and MRA provided detailed information on retroperitoneal vasculature and its relation to tumor, including multiple renal vessels (n = 5), duplex inferior vena cava (n = 1), left retroaortic renal vein (n = 2), and common iliac vein thrombus (n = 1). In all cases, bolus-contrast MRA provided unique information on the location and number of renal and lumbar arteries, in addition to information on the aorta and the mesenteric and iliac vessels. The origin and number of renal arteries were accurately identified in all patients by bolus-contrast MRA; 2 patients had supernumerary renal arteries discovered at RPLND that had not been identified on non-bolus-contrast MRI. CONCLUSIONS: Bolus-contrast three-dimensional MRA provides unique information on renal and lumbar vessels. The potential benefit of avoiding vascular injury during dissection should be prospectively evaluated.

The challenge of locally advanced prostate cancer.

Locally advanced prostate cancer can be reliably identified and has a disease-specific death rate of approximately 75%. Monotherapy treatment options have limited efficacy for locally advanced disease. Multimodality therapy may improve survival. This article reviews the current results of multimodality therapy, including hormonal therapy plus radiation therapy, hormonal therapy plus radical prostatectomy, and brachytherapy plus external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT), and presents current ideas for novel multimodality approaches.

Patient selection for salvage cryotherapy for locally recurrent prostate cancer after radiation therapy.

PURPOSE: Our objective was to identify clinical pretreatment factors associated with early treatment failure after salvage cryotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 1992 and 1995, 145 patients underwent salvage cryotherapy for locally recurrent adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Treatment failure was defined as an increasing postcryotherapy serial prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of more than or equal to 2 ng/mL above the postcryotherapy nadir or as a positive posttreatment biopsy. We evaluated the following factors as predictors of treatment failure: tumor stage and grade at initial diagnosis, type of prior therapy, stage and grade of locally recurrent tumor, number of positive biopsy cores at recurrence, and precryotherapy PSA level. RESULTS: Among patients with a prior history of radiation therapy only, the 2-year actuarial disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 74% for patients with a precryotherapy PSA less than 10 ng/mL and 28% for patients with a precryotherapy PSA more than 10 ng/mL, P <.00001. The DFS rates were 58% for patients with a Gleason score of less than or equal to 8 recurrence and 29% for patients with a Gleason score greater than or equal to 9 recurrence, P <.004. Among patients with a precryotherapy PSA less than 10 ng/mL, DFS rates were 74% for patients with a prior history of radiation therapy only and 19% for patients with a history of prior hormonal therapy plus radiation therapy, P <.002. CONCLUSION: Patients failing initial radiation therapy with a PSA more than 10 ng/mL and Gleason score of the recurrent cancer more than or equal to 9 are unlikely to be successfully salvaged. Patients failing initial hormonal therapy and radiation therapy are less likely to be successfully salvaged than patients failing radiation therapy only.

Early nasogastric tube removal combined with metoclopramide after radical cystectomy and urinary diversion.

PURPOSE: Prolonged nasogastric decompression increases pulmonary complications by inhibiting clearance of respiratory secretions. The literature supports early nasogastric tube removal following bowel resection. Metoclopramide stimulates bowel activity, promoting return of function. We examined combining early nasogastric tube removal with metoclopramide after radical cystectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 1994 to 1996, 27 prospective cystectomy patients received intravenous metoclopramide (metoclopramide group) combined with early nasogastric tube removal (less than 24 hours). A total of 54 concurrent cystectomy controls received no metoclopramide and nasogastric tubes remained until return of normal bowel function. RESULTS: Preoperative and perioperative factors were comparable between the 2 groups. Nasogastric tubes were removed from 78% of the metoclopramide group in less than 24 hours, 11% on day 2 and 11% on day 3 compared to none on day 1, 50% on day 2 and 50% on day 3 or greater in controls. The metoclopramide group had a more rapid return of normal bowel sounds (2.9 versus 4.0 days, p = 0.0002) and earlier tolerance of solid food (6.7 versus 7.9 days, p = 0.04). Nasogastric tube replacement was required in 3 of 27 metoclopramide cases versus 5 of 54 controls. Atelectasis occurred more often in the control group (33 versus 15%). There were no bowel related complications in the metoclopramide group but partial small bowel obstruction in 2 controls was treated conservatively. CONCLUSIONS: This preliminary study suggests that combining intravenous metoclopramide with early nasogastric tube removal after cystectomy and urinary diversion may reduce postoperative atelectasis and speed return of bowel function while posing no danger to the small bowel anastomosis. This regimen may result in fewer complications and shorter hospitalizations, translating into lower costs without compromising quality of care.

Quality of life after salvage cryotherapy: the impact of treatment parameters.

PURPOSE: Cryotherapy has emerged as a promising salvage therapy option for treatment of locally recurrent prostate cancer after initial therapy. In this retrospective study we evaluate patient quality of life after salvage cryotherapy and correlate complications impairing quality of life with specific cryotherapy treatment parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A modified UCLA Prostate Cancer Index measuring health related quality of life was sent to 150 patients who underwent salvage cryotherapy between July 1992 and April 1995. We evaluated the relationships among incontinence, pain, impotence, sloughing of tissue and problematic voiding symptoms, and cryotherapy treatment parameters, including use of a urethral warming catheter, number of cryotherapy probes and number of freeze-thaw cycles. We also evaluated patient overall degree of satisfaction with the procedure. RESULTS: Of 150 surveys 112 (74%) were returned. Mean followup was 16.7 months (range 0.5 to 31.5). Treatment without an effective urethral warming catheter was highly associated with urinary incontinence (p<0.003), perineal pain (p<0.001), tissue sloughing (p<0.003) and American Urological Association symptom score greater than 20 (p<0.004). Impotence was higher in the double freeze-thaw cycle group (p<0.05). Overall satisfaction with cryotherapy was 33%. CONCLUSIONS: Quality of life may be compromised by urinary incontinence, impotence, tissue sloughing, problematic voiding symptoms and/or perineal pain in a substantial number of patients following salvage cryotherapy. Effective urethral warming is essential in reducing complications and maximizing quality of life. Salvage cryotherapy does not appear to offer any quality of life advantages compared to salvage prostatectomy.
