(UroToday.com) The 2020 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) virtual education program featured a session on the evolution of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treatment, including a presentation by renowned oncologist Dr. Bernard Escudier discussing the evolution from targeted therapy to immune checkpoint inhibition. The rationale for antiangiogenic therapy in RCC is that RCC is a tremendously vascular […]
We aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum testosterone (T) levels and penile curvature in a cohort of men presenting for chronic phase Peyronie’s disease (PD). Clinical data from 149 patients assessed for chronic phase PD between 2016 and 2019 at a single academic center were analyzed.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of prostate-specific antigen doubling time (PSADT) with metastasis-free survival (MFS) and overall survival (OS), and to describe healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and costs among patients with non-metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) in the Veterans Health Administration setting.
We investigated the possible association between preoperative bladder wall thickness (BWT) or detrusor wall thickness (DWT) and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) based on urodynamic studies in men with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of repeat prostatic artery (PA) embolization (PAE) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A single-center retrospective study was conducted from 2009 to 2018 in 108 patients with symptomatic BPH treated with repeat PAE: group A (n = 39; 36.
Male fertility preservation is required when treatment with an aggressive chemo-/-radiotherapy, which may lead to irreversible sterility. Due to new and efficient protocols of cancer treatments, surviving rates are more than 80%.
The present study aimed to evaluate a new tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) modality, which uses interferential currents, in terms of the stimulation electric field penetration efficiency into the body and physiological effectiveness.
Despite the lack of guidelines, a wide variety of non-invasive and surgical interventions for penile enhancement with aesthetic and therapeutic purposes is available. To systematically review the literature in order to investigate the efficacy and safety of surgical and non-invasive penile enhancement procedures for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes.
Urolithiasis is a global pathology with increasing prevalence rate. The lifetime recurrence of urolithiasis ranges from 10-75% creating a public health crisis in affected regions. The epidemiology of urolithiasis in most parts of Africa and Asia remains poorly documented as incidence and prevalence rates in these settings are extrapolated from hospital admissions.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common with indwelling catheter use. Our primary aim was to compare UTI rates in women sent home after surgery with continuous bladder drainage versus a urinary catheter valve.
