    Reliability of Frozen Section Examination of External Iliac, Hypogastric, and Obturator Lymph Nodes During Radical Cystectomy: A Multicenter Study
    (2007) Adsan Ö.; Baltaci S.; Çal Ç.; Büyükalpelli R.; Ugurlu Ö.; Bozlu M.; Türkölmez K.; Şahin H.; Elhan A.
    Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of frozen section examination (FSE) for detecting lymph node (LN) metastasis in patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy and pelvic LN dissection. To our knowledge, the accuracy of FSE to identify LN metastases in patients with bladder cancer is still undetermined. Methods: The clinical data of 360 patients who had undergone radical cystectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy for bladder cancer in six urologic institutions were retrospectively analyzed. The nodal regions included were the external iliac, hypogastric, and obturator LNs. The FSE results of the right and left LN regions were compared with the final histopathologic results of the respective LN regions. Results: The final pathologic examination revealed nodal metastases in 65 patients (18.1%). Of the 720 right and left LN regions in 360 patients, 88 (12.2%) were metastatic at the final pathologic examination. Although the FSE findings were negative, the final pathologic examination revealed LN metastases in 26 patients and in 29 pelvic LN regions. All LN regions with positive FSE findings were positive at the final pathologic examination. When we considered the 720 LN regions, the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values for FSE were 67%, 100%, 100%, and 95.6%, respectively. Conclusions: Until innovations in imaging methods improve nodal staging in patients with bladder cancer, performing FSE of the external iliac, hypogastric, and obturator LNs seems to be a reliable procedure for the evaluation of the LNs. The information obtained with FSE of the LNs can be used to determine intraoperatively the extent of LN dissection. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    Introduction: Ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy is the standard method for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The aim of the present survey is to assess the variability in patient preparation and technique of ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy among Turkish Urologists. Materials and Methods: In July 2004, a questionnaire was sent out to e-mail addresses of the members of Urooncological Association, asking about the details of prostate biopsy protocol of the members. The survey consisted of multiple choice questions about the patient preparation and prostate biopsy technique. Responses were acquired via e-mail and analyzed in detail. Results: Thirty two urologists from 24 centers responded. The biopsy procedure was performed by the urologist only in 54.16% of the centers, both urologist and radiologist in 37.5%, and radiologist only in 8.33%. Transrectal route was the most common method for ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. A half of the responders performed biopsy when PSA was greater than 4 ng/ml. All of the centers administered antibiotic and a half of them used enema before the procedure. Approximately 37% of responders did not administer any type of analgesia, but 29.1% of all responders administered a periprostatic nerve block for reducing pain during the procedure. Most urologists obtained 10 or 12 biopsy cores and only 20.8% of them obtained routine transitional zone biopsy during the initial biopsy session. Conclusion: This survey demonstrated that patient preparation and technique of ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy is not standardized among Turkish Urologists, and a guideline on prostate biopsy is needed.
