“I think it's primarily due to dietary changes that are more and more prevalent regardless of sex,” says Ian Metzler, MD, MTM.

“I would say the take-home message for this study is that prescribing tamsulosin for a week prior to an anticipated surgery that involves flexible ureteroscopy is a very simple practice that certainly is within standard of care within pediatric urology," says Kate H. Kraft, MD, MHPE, FACS, FAAP.

“It definitely makes it easier for providers [to counsel patients]," says Landon Trost, MD.

“To find a therapy that's all encompassing, that manages all of this in a long-term fashion, low-dose vaginal estrogen is the preferred treatment,” says Ekene Enemchukwu, MD, MPH, FACS, URPS.

"A lot of people are using [single-use ureteroscopes] nowadays, and part of it is because it really enhances our ability to provide guaranteed care, because we don't have to rely on the reusability of scopes," says Perry Xu, MD.

"This study was an investigator initiated study, and what they wanted to do was a randomized trial for large prostates, so 80 to 180 grams, between Aquablation and prostate enucleation," says Naeem Bhojani, MD, FRCSC.

"This is another tool in our armamentarium to treat muscle-invasive bladder cancer and represents an advance compared to where we've been over the past few decades," says Matthew D. Galsky, MD.

"We demonstrate that patients with metastatic disease stayed on therapy longer—a median of 9 months vs 7 months for the non-metastatic patients," says Rana R. McKay, MD, FASCO.

"We have communicated with Solventum, who makes this software, and they have made changes based on our feedback," says Timothy D. Lyon, MD.

"We see the overall survival, whether it is [in] all-comers, in HRR gene mutation-positive patients, or in HRR gene [mutation]-negative patients or [those] who did not have mutations, the overall survival is about 45 to 47 months," says Neeraj Agarwal, MD, FACS.

"I think AI is going to have a significant role. We're just at the tip of the iceberg," says Jason M. Hafron, MD, CMO.

"They are risking their own lives for their job, so it's the part of the whole community to do our best to try to keep them safe," says Sima P. Porten, MD, MPH.

“If it is as efficacious as it looks, we will have more patients who are getting effective standard of care treatment, not needing to go on to further treatment, not having recurrences, [having decreased] morbidity from repeated resections, and saving bladders in the process," says Eugene B. Cone, MD.

"We recognize that an 11% increase in success may not seem that clinically significant, but I think every little bit helps," says Kate H. Kraft, MD, MHPE, FACS, FAAP.

“I always encourage urologists and physicians in general to keep up with the organizations that they're a part of, like the AUA, that often advocate on your behalf," says Ruchika Talwar, MD.

"I say with a lot of confidence, just continue using telehealth as you are," says Chad Ellimoottil, MD, MS.

"I'm all for this great effort by ImmunityBio to provide us with an alternative option,” says Suzanne B. Merrill, MD, FACS.

"Viral vectors are basically a blueprint of the virus that's used to carry the DNA payload into the target tissue, but the problem is they have some issues," says Katherine Chan, MD, MPH.

“I think we now have really robust data showing that earlier treatment intensification with combination regimens does lead to improved survival for patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer," says Dr Louise Kostos.

"For other health care professionals aiming to advocate for equitable changes within their system, it's really important to just start conversations about what you're noticing," says Hailey Frye.

John A. Taylor, III, MD, MS, discussed the new wealth of options in non–muscle invasive bladder cancer, specifically highlighting detalimogene voraplasmid.

"In a practice like mine, where approximately 30% of the practice is low testosterone, it'll have actually very little negative effect," says John P. Mulhall, MD.

“What's really cool about overactive bladder is that, it's not like high blood pressure. They do not have to leave this office with a pill in hand," says Anna Myers, CNP.

"The objective of this project [was] to clinically adjudicate the complications identified by that outpatient software," says Timothy D. Lyon, MD.

“One important aspect to get across…is that access to this EAP is pretty easy," says Suzanne B. Merrill, MD, FACS.

"We found that the location that prescribers were registered in, as well as their fellowship training, was significantly associated with higher vibegron prescription rates,” says Grace Khaner.

“High risk, non–muscle invasive bladder cancer carries a significant risk of recurrence and progression. This emphasizes the need for careful patient selection, especially when we are considering bladder-sparing approaches," says Neeraja Tillu, MD.

"This now clarifies and substantiates the fact that there are not increased risks from a cardiovascular standpoint with [testosterone] therapy, at least at the doses studied," says Landon Trost, MD.

"There is evidence for a direct link between the exposures you get by doing your job as a firefighter and then developing cancer down the road," says Sima P. Porten, MD, MPH.

"A lot of times…decreased desire is affected by everything else: pain with sex, orgasm, arousal. Because if none of that is good, then desire isn't going to be good either," says Anna Myers, CNP.
