Abstrakt: A recent study conducted at Ankara City Hospital analyzed the surgical results of patients with prostate cancer who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. The researchers aimed to predict the relationship between periprostatic adipose tissue and patients with and without pathologically upstaged disease. The study found that periprostatic fat tissue thickness measured by preoperative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging may be a predictive indicator for upstaging after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. The findings suggest that this measurement could be useful in determining the risk of upstaging in prostate cancer patients. [Extracted from the article]
