"We found that during the 5-year study period, the total number of claims for vaginal estrogen, the number of prescribers, and the number of beneficiaries decreased," says Alexandra Tabakin, MD.

“I think my immediate hope and goal with the study finding is universal incorporation of HPV testing on all penile cancer patients,” says Rohan Garje, MD.

"Despite the results of SURTIME and CARMENA, among others, we continue to hear discussions about the role of cytoreductive nephrectomy in conferences and literature, suggesting that this remains a question that has not been fully addressed," says Jaleh Fallah, MD.

“The results of the study showed that regardless of any biomarkers, the combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib was superior or associated with a better median progression-free survival compared to sunitinib,” says Jaime R. Merchan, MD.

“We can see that the median survival is going beyond 31 months, meaning that patients with a low tumor burden are benefiting,” says Joaquim Bellmunt, MD, PhD.

"There is a hypothesis that nectin-4 as a potential target for antibody drug conjugates, such as EV, potentially should work," says Marijo Bilusic, MD, PhD.

“So, we split this apart and looked into if the type of progression would occur differently depending on the organ sites, which it did not. What we have seen is maintained benefits for the combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab vs sunitinib,” says Viktor Grünwald, MD, PhD.

“My hope is that the DFF332 approach may potentially be one that's palatable in combination with other therapies,” says Sumanta Pal, MD, FASCO.

In this video, Kevin C. Zorn, MD, FRCSC, FACS, discusses key BPH data from the 2024 American Urological Association Annual Meeting.

"When we reviewed the data, we noticed a large difference in outcomes based on ethnicity," says Devon M. Langston, MD.

"Holistic review is a way to assess an applicant's candidacy for residency by looking at lived experiences and personal attributes in addition to traditional metrics, like Step 1 scores, AOA, and number of research publications," says Alexandra Tabakin, MD.

“Variation is the enemy of quality. The more streamlined we can do these things and include APPs in the teachings of procedures and understanding different subspecialties of prostate cancer, I think it would be helpful,” says Joy Maulik, CRNP

“Overall, I think this study will allow clinicians to better advise patients in the slightly complex landscape of OAB therapies,” says Leo Dreyfuss, MD.

"I think [these are] important data to [give to] your patients," says Laura Bukavina, MD, MPH.

Michael S. Cookson, MD, MMHC, FACS, recaps several presentations on prostate cancer from the 2024 American Urological Association Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas.

"Anecdotally, I would say that many providers actually prefer the functionality of the single-use cystoscopes," says David Barquin, MD.

“One of the biggest things that this brings us to for an update of upper tract disease is biopsy alone of an upper tract tumor is not good enough anymore--we must risk stratify these patients,” says Katie S. Murray, DO.

“The way to move the organization forward is to listen to learn, not to win,” says J. Stuart Wolf, Jr., MD, FACS.

"It's really critical to recruit and retain diverse talent in urology to improve patient care and our health care system overall," says Alexandra Tabakin, MD.

“I think ultimately, when we think about when do we deliver MDRT and to whom, it comes down to a goals of care discussion,” says Angela Jia, MD, PhD.

"We identified 12 discrete workflow steps for outpatient flexible cystoscopy, with 5 of those being able to be eliminated by the transition to the single-use scope," says David Barquin, MD.

"Our first question is, in patients who were on the GLP1R agonists for a prolonged period of time, were those patients at increased or decreased risk of developing the most common GU malignancies?" says Laura Bukavina, MD, MPH.

"I would say the take-home message is that usage of this mobile health platform could potentially improve patient quality of life and compliance with recommendations," says Jenny Guo, MD.

“Cancer is a journey which is very emotional as much as it is physical. And not only for the patients, but it is also for their caregivers, whoever that person is,” say Joy Maulik, CRNP.

"The other was that we found that about half of the patients in the CIS cohort and two-thirds of those in the Ta/T1 or papillary cohort had bladder preservation, meaning they were able to avoid cystectomy," says Vikram M. Narayan, MD.

"What we saw among over 400 patients [was] that indeed, subcutaneous heparin did not increase the hematoma chance, but it reduced the chance to have venous thrombotic events," says Thairo Pereira, MD.

"I think these findings suggest that for clinicians who treat a lot of older adults with neuromodulation, caution should be exhibited when recommending the single-stage approach," says Leo Dreyfuss, MD.

“When we looked at the risk of bleeding and takeback for fulguration, the reported rate was 0.46%. Less than 1% of patients had any significant bleeding,” says Dean S. Elterman, MD, MSc, FRCSC.
