Finasteride use has been associated with a reduced incidence of bladder cancer (BCa). However, the majority of studies have been conducted primarily in East Asian or Caucasian populations. Given differences […]
» Read moreHolmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) has proven to be efficacious and safe for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). New laser technologies, such as the MOSES™ Pulse […]

» Read moreSalvage lymph node dissection (sLND) is a rescue treatment for patients with nodal recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP). Very limited data are available on robotic sLND. Our purpose was to […]
» Read moreNoninvasive tests that can accurately detect prostate cancer are urgently needed for prostate cancer diagnosis, surveillance, and prognosis. Exfoliated prostate cells captured in urine represent a promising resource for noninvasive […]
» Read moreTo determine the optimal cystoscopic interval for intermediate-risk nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (IR-NMIBC).A retrospective analysis of IR-NMIBC patients (2010-2017) was performed and 3 hypothetical models of surveillance intensity applied: Model […]

» Read moreSalvage cystectomy is required for some patients with intravesical recurrence after trimodality therapy (TMT). We compared postoperative outcomes between salvage cystectomy post-TMT (SC), primary cystectomy (PC), and primary cystectomy with […]
» Read moreComputed tomography urography is the diagnostic tool of choice for evaluating hematuria. In keeping with the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle, we evaluated a triple bolus computed tomography […]
» Read moreIn men, complaints of nocturia causing poor sleep are often attributed to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and treated with BPH medications. We assessed whether treating lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) […]
» Read moreCatheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) occurs in up to 63% of patients following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). The optimal intra-operative anesthesia regime to prevent patients from CRBD is unknown.A prospective cohort […]

» Read moreLittle is known about health-related quality of life (HRQOL) following treatment for bladder cancer (BC).To determine this, we undertook a cross-sectional survey covering 10% of the English population.Participants 1-10 yr from […]
» Read moreWhether AR-V7 expression can predict the response in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) who receive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) remains to be explored.To evaluate the predictive value of […]
» Read moreSmoking cessation after a urologic cancer diagnosis significantly benefits patients. It is not well known how often patients quit after diagnosis or how urologists intervene to support patients’ smoking cessation […]
» Read moreLittle is known about the role of the genitourinary and gastrointestinal microbiota in the pathogenesis of male infertility.To compare the taxonomic and functional profiles of the gut, semen, and urine […]
» Read moreMicro-ultrasound is a novel, high-resolution, ultrasound technology, aiming to improve prostate imaging and, consequently, the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (PB). Micro-ultrasound-guided PB may present comparable detection rates to, […]
» Read moreThe LAP-01 trial was designed to address the lack of high-quality literature comparing robotic-assisted (RARP) and laparoscopic (LRP) radical prostatectomy.To compare the functional and oncological outcomes between RARP and LRP […]
» Read moreLong-term androgen deprivation therapy (LT-ADT) has been associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in men with prostate cancer (PCa). Some evidence suggests that there is no impact on fracture […]

» Read moreUrinary continence recovery after radical prostatectomy is a major issue even in the robotic era. Surgical techniques aimed at improving earlier return to continence are continuously sought.To describe our novel […]
» Read moreStress urinary incontinence (SUI) is common after radical prostatectomy and likely to persist despite conservative treatment. The sling is an emerging operation for persistent SUI, but randomised controlled trial (RCT) […]
» Read moreConcern for discordance between clinical staging and final pathology drives current management of patients deemed appropriate candidates for radical cystectomy (RC). Thus, we set out to prospectively investigate reliability and […]
