Abstract
Our previously reported non-randomized clinical trial proved the ability of preoperative androgen ablation therapy (AAT) to decrease positive surgical margins and to downstage a subset of biopsy-proven stage T3 cancer. The present study focuses on the progression of the disease in this group over a 3-year (mean) period.
For 140 consecutive radical prostatectomies, this study evolved into comparisons of three groups: (1) 124 patients with clinically confined cancer given AAT; (2) 121 patients with clinical stage B not given AAT; (3) 16 patients with proven stage T3 by transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy and given AAT.
Comparison of AAT with no AAT resulted in positive surgical margin rates of 14.5% vs 47.5%. For known stage T3/C, a 44% downstaging occurred with no evidence of diseases at 40 months (mean). The 56% with non-confined (persistent) cancer after AAT had progression usually by 1 year. Specimen-confined disease had progression as measured by prostate specific antigen of 18% for AAT vs 10% when no AAT was given.
Neoadjuvant AAT before radical prostatectomy decreased by threefold the rate of positive surgical margins. Long-term follow-up of these patients is to continue since present results are very promising.

Kidney transplantation and the associated immune suppression are associated with a significantly increased risk of developing cancer during long-term follow-up. Thyroid cancer has been recognised as a potential post-transplant risk but has not yet been subject of a focused review. We therefore performed a meta-analysis on data of 50 861 patients with a total follow-up of 198 595 patient-years and identified a 6.9-fold higher standardised incidence ratio (95% confidence interval 5.6–8.7, P<0.001) of thyroid cancer post renal transplantation as compared with a non-transplant group. All such cancers were of papillary type as far as histopathology was known. The mean time to discovery was 6.0 years post transplantation. This puts thyroid cancer into the group of high cancer risk following solid organ transplantation which already includes cervical cancer, non-melanoma skin cancer, oral and lip cancer and haematological malignancies. It is unclear what causes the increased cancer incidence. Inclusion of thyroid ultrasound in long-term post-transplant evaluation may help to ensure timely recognition of this condition.
