"Alpha-blockers are often, for patients, the first line of treatment because they help quickly relax the smooth muscles in the bladder and the prostate," says Eiftu S. Haile, MD.

"We're very much looking forward to being able to clinically implement these algorithms, both on the OAB side and the antibiotic resistance side," says Glenn T. Werneburg, MD, PhD.

"We're really enthusiastic on the overactive bladder end and on the antibiotic resistance end, but much more broadly, [AI is] set up to help us counsel our patients better and help us to improve outcomes for our patients as well," says Glenn T. Werneburg, MD, PhD.

"What we found was that we were able to identify patients who responded vs didn't respond to the treatment with a high degree of accuracy," says Glenn T. Werneburg, MD, PhD.

"The key end points were observed response rate in the overall cohort, progression-free and overall survival from EV start in the overall cohort, and as an exploratory end point, overall survival from platinum-based chemotherapy start in the overall cohort," says Amanda Nizam, MD.

Zeyad Schwen, MD, a urologic oncologist at Cleveland Clinic, discusses how patient factors and cancer characteristics are key to deciding between focal therapies and whole gland treatment for prostate cancer.

Data from the EV-302 trial showed a doubling of progression-free survival and overall survival with the ADC/checkpoint combination versus standard chemotherapy.

"Using the model of 100 implants per year, and assuming that we can reduce teaching visits by 1 during that 90-day global period, that translates into an estimated additional 3000 minutes of outpatient time that you have available to assist other patients," says Bradley Gill, MD.

Hadley Wood, MD, shares her vision as the new editor-in-chief of Urology.

"The viability and survivability of practices is in jeopardy," says Bradley Gill, MD.

"I think the take-home message is that surgery is safe, even for these challenging surgical cases after this therapy," says Jason Scovell, MD.

"We need improved efficiency. Part of that is being as optimal in our settings and in our techniques that we can," says Smita De, MD, PhD.

"I think there have been a lot of what I would consider incremental improvements over the past few years," Smita De, MD, PhD.

On an episode of Cleveland Clinic’s Cancer Advances podcast, host Dale Shepard, MD, PhD, talks with Omar Mian, MD, PhD, about emerging molecular biomarkers for genitourinary cancers.

"I think that overall, one should do what one is comfortable with, within the scope of your practice and your resources," says Smita De, MD, PhD.

"[The findings] certainly made me a lot less anxious for those patients who do need to continue their aspirin," says Smita De, MD, PhD.

"We did not find that there were any clotting or thrombotic complications in those who did stop their aspirin," says Smita De, MD, PhD.

Cleveland Clinic is the first to investigate photonic nanoparticles as a potential kidney stone treatment.

These findings may help guide decision-making in the initial testing phase of the [sacral neuromodulation] device prior to permanent implant or explant, according to Bradley Gill, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic.

If replicated with further study, the finding potentially expands noninvasive fertility treatment options and may minimize the need for expensive reproductive technology, according to lead author Scott D. Lundy, MD, PhD, of Cleveland Clinic’s Department of Urology.
