» Read moreProphylactic antibiotics are routinely given at the time of catheter removal post radical prostatectomy (RP). The low rate of infectious complications entails that large sample sizes are required for randomized […]
» Read morePrevious studies have elucidated the unique macroscopic and histologic properties of buccal mucosa that make it a viable and durable graft for urethral augmentation. However, no prior literature has directly […]
» Read moreAlthough the Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADS v2) is a reliable diagnostic tool for significant prostate cancer (PCa), less is known about the prognostic significance of the […]

» Read moreNon-Hispanic Black (NHB) and Hispanic/Afro-Caribbean men have the highest risk for prostate cancer (PCa) compared to non-Hispanic White (NHW) men. However, ethnicity-specific outcomes of targeted fusion biopsy (FB) for the […]
» Read moreTargeted biopsy improves prostate cancer diagnosis. Accurate prostate segmentation on MRI is critical for accurate biopsy. Manual gland segmentation is tedious and time-consuming. We sought to develop a deep learning […]
» Read moreTo compare upper-tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC) in same-patient metachronous-(m) and synchronous-(s) UTUC and BUC using next generation sequencing.Consecutive untreated same-patient samples of UTUC and BUC […]
