Does primary treatment of the prostate improve local palliation in men who ultimately develop castrate-resistant prostate cancer?
The present retrospective analysis supports the hypothesis that primary local prostatic treatment gives palliative benefit to men who later develop CRPC. RRP was associated with the lowest local complication rate experienced at the stage of metastatic disease.
Insect venoms and NRL share IgE-binding CCD that may be responsible for positive serological test results to NRL in patients with insect venom allergy. This copositivity occurs frequently (13.6%) among venom-allergic individuals and did not elicit clinical symptoms upon contact to latex in the patients examined. In contrast, true cosensitization to insect venoms and NRL allergens can occur and may not be missed.
