Results from a cross-sectional study suggest that unmet social needs are associated with kidney stone disease and worse stone-specific quality of life.

Matthew Truesdale, MD, FACS, discusses validation data showing that IsoPSA improves risk stratification for clinically significant prostate cancer in men with elevated PSA both with and without pre-biopsy mpMRI.

"This is really going to make access to care a lot better, and workflow is going to be a lot easier," says Ben H. Chew, MD, MSc, FRCSC.

In this episode of The UroOnc Minute, host Adam Weiner, MD, is joined by David Canes, MD, for a thoughtful discussion on practical strategies to improve efficiency, reduce physician burnout, and preserve meaningful patient-centered care in urologic oncology.

These results are intended to support a premarket approval submission for an expanded indication of the Vanquish device for the management of clinically localized prostate cancer.

Enucleation is appropriate for the vast majority of patients with BPH, but certain patient profiles—including prior radiation, significant neurologic conditions, morbid obesity, and dementia—warrant caution or referral to specialists, whereas the most consistent technical failure among surgeons past their learning curve is inadequate apical tissue removal driven by discomfort with sphincter proximity, according to Amy E. Krambeck, MD.

Gopa Iyer, MD, reviews early NEXUS-01 data evaluating the investigational anti–Nectin-4 ADC LY4052031, highlighting the importance of CYP2D6-guided dosing to optimize safety.

A recap of the FDA submissions and regulatory decisions in urology from June 2026.

A health-economic analysis of the ASPIRE trial data found that the steerable ureteroscopic renal evacuation (SURE) procedure was linked to roughly $3464 in downstream savings per patient over 2 years compared with standard ureteroscopy, with lead investigator Brett Johnson, MD, framing this as a value-committee benchmark rather than a full cost comparison, since the analysis deliberately excludes the index procedure's incremental cost due to wide variability across payers and care settings.

A roundup of the key stories on benign urologic conditions from the second quarter of 2026.

A roundup of the key stories across genitourinary cancers from the second quarter of 2026.

The FDA's proposed narrowing of the testosterone therapy prostate cancer contraindication to metastatic disease only reflects current clinical evidence, opening the door to testosterone therapy in appropriately selected men with treated localized prostate cancer or on active surveillance, with shared decision-making and PSA-testosterone co-monitoring as the foundation of responsible care, as Helen L. Bernie, DO, MPH, outlines in this interview.

"Ultimately, integrating robust, disease-specific PROs into routine bladder cancer care represents a key step toward more truly patient-centered management," write the authors.
