New evidence indicates that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) (laparoscopic or robotic-assisted [LNU, RANU]) reaches oncologic equivalence compared with Open Radical Nephroureterectomy (ORNU) for high-risk upper-tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).

Intradetrusor botulinum toxin injections is an established second-line treatment for patients with refractory overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). We aimed to evaluate the learning curve of intradetrusor injections with botulinum toxin for the treatment of refractory OAB.

Robot assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) and endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP) are two minimally invasive alternatives to simple prostatectomy, which is considered the standard treatment in large prostate glands.

Penile curvature (PC) is a significant phenotypic anomaly associated with hypospadias that can affect hypospadias repair post-operative outcomes and impact on long-term quality of life as well as psychosexual wellbeing of affected patients.

In the CheckMate 9ER trial, patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma who received first-line nivolumab plus cabozantinib had significantly better progression-free survival compared with those given sunitinib.

A rare African ancestry-specific germline deletion variant in HOXB13 (X285K, rs77179853) was recently reported in Martinican men with early-onset prostate cancer. Given the role of HOXB13 germline variation in prostate cancer, we investigated the association between HOXB13 X285K and prostate cancer risk in a large sample of 22 361 African ancestry men, including 11 688 […]

To determine whether racial/ethnic differences in patient experiences with care, potentially leading to underutilization of necessary care, are associated with disparities in Gleason score at diagnosis.

Prostate cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer death among American men. Radiation therapy (RT) is a potentially curative treatment for localized prostate cancer, and failure to control localized disease contributes to the majority of prostate cancer deaths.

Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) have a high metastasis rate. However, the mechanisms related to their invasion, progression and metastasis are unclear. Therefore, we investigated gene expression changes that might be linked to metastasis in seminomatous testicular germ cell tumour (STGCT) patients.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients with centrally located renal cell carcinomas (RCC) measuring 3 cm or larger, treated by a standardized transarterial embolization protocol associated with percutaneous ablation.
