The Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network’s (BCAN) Patient Survey Network established a diverse bladder cancer patient community who contribute to the prioritization of bladder cancer research topics through surveys and summits.
Active surveillance is increasingly recognized as the preferred standard of care for men with low-risk prostate cancer. However, active surveillance requires repeated assessments, including prostate-specific antigen tests and biopsies that may increase anxiety, risk of complications, and cost.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common urologic malignancy, and up to 30% of RCC patients present with locally advanced or metastatic disease at the time of initial diagnosis. Increasing evidence suggests that circular RNAs (circRNAs) serve as genomic regulatory molecules in various human cancers.
Ashish M. Kamat: Welcome everybody to Urotoday’s Bladder Cancer Center of Excellence. Today we’re going to do a slight detour and talk about penile cancer. And for this, I have the distinct pleasure of inviting one of my close friends and colleagues, Phil Spiess, who is Professor of Urology and GU Oncology and Assistant Chief of […]
The role of testosterone and prostate cancer is that of a “Janus head.” Whereas the disease is driven by androgens, there is still conflicting data on the role of testosterone in relation to prostate cancer development. The debate is ongoing. Sarkar and colleagues study the effect of testosterone therapy (TT) in men that were treated […]
Background: The safety of testosterone therapy (TT) after definitive treatment for localized prostate cancer remains undefined. We analyzed the risks of biochemical recurrence and mortality in men receiving TT after treatment for localized prostate cancer. Methods: Cohort analysis using the national US Veterans Affairs Informatics and Computing Infrastructure. We identified 69,984 patients with localized prostate […]
The rapid spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has dramatically reshaped the structure of Western society, including on health care delivery.1 While care for patients with cancer has been prioritized in nearly every guideline and recommendation, data suggest that among patients with COVID-19, those […]
To investigate the diagnostic utilities of imaging parameters derived from T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) to differentiate bone metastases from prostate cancer and benign red marrow depositions of the pelvic bone.
In this video we present the surgical management of a 59-year-old woman with stress urinary incontinece (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) who had a history of rheumatoid arthritis and endometrial hyperplasia with atypia.
To investigate the association between preoperative retrograde pyelography (RGP), conducted to evaluate upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), and intravesical recurrence (IVR) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU).
