Learning From Those who Learned: A Survey of Fellowship Trained HoLEP Surgeons and Their Current Practice Patterns – Beyond the Abstract

Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) has a well-established body of evidence demonstrating superior durability and reduced morbidity to other transurethral benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgeries, with some arguing that HoLEP should replace transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) as the new gold standard. However, HoLEP has yet to gain widespread adoption in the […]

Implementation of Telehealth Medicine in Urology Practice During the COVID-19 Era: What Have We Learned? – Beyond the Abstract

Nowadays, with COVID-19 as a pandemic, most of the greatly affected countries are making strict and dramatic efforts to reduce the impact of the disease. Most severe measures include lockdown in entire cities, regions, or even countries. The confinement of population and the outbreak impact on health care systems is disrupting routine care for non-COVID-19 […]

Mapping expanded prostate cancer index composite to EQ5D utilities to inform economic evaluations in prostate cancer: Secondary analysis of NRG/RTOG 0415.

The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) is the most commonly used patient reported outcome (PRO) tool in prostate cancer (PC) clinical trials, but health utilities associated with the different health states assessed with this tool are unknown, limiting our ability to perform cost-utility analyses.

Patterns of disease detection using [18F]DCFPyL PET/CT imaging in patients with detectable PSA post prostatectomy being considered for salvage radiotherapy: a prospective trial.

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT is increasingly used in patients with biochemical recurrence post prostatectomy to detect local recurrence and metastatic disease at low PSA levels. The aim of this study was to assess patterns of disease detection, predictive factors and safety using [18F]DCFPyL PET/CT versus diagnostic CT in patients being considered for salvage radiotherapy […]
