"We are optimistic about this study, because it has the potential not just only for vesicovaginal fistula treatment, but it can be also used in the treatment of burns for other fistula types," says Ilaha Isali, MD.

Chandler Park, MD, discusses lessons from the ARASENS and TITAN trials on the use of triplet vs doublet therapy in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

“The first thing I'd say is that we know these devices are safe,” says Colin Goudelocke, MD.
