Does in vivo measurement of myocardial oxidative metabolism and blood flow show changes in cancer patients undergoing doxorubicin therapy?
Other hypotheses should be explored to better explain the predominant mechanisms of the cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines in humans.
To our knowledge this is the first study to identify the influence of age difference between patient and partner on potency preservation following radical prostatectomy. Age difference was a significant predictive factor of maintaining postoperative potency independent of patient age. We suggest that partner age difference should be reported in radical prostatectomy outcomes series because it influences postoperative potency rates. It is a new prognostic factor that might help counseling patients preoperatively.
