Phillip Kuo, MD, PhD, reviews the sensitivity of PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen) PET (positron emission tomography) scans compared to conventional imaging.
Andre Abreu, MD, discusses the rationale behind targeting PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen) and its impact on the patient journey from diagnosis to biochemical recurrence.
Ranjith Ramasamy, MD, explains how the oral testosterone capsule Jatenzo works and touches on key findings from a recent study of the treatment.
“I think doctors should be aware that if men do complain of erectile dysfunction after [having] COVID-19 that it could be because of underlying endothelial dysfunction and underlying vasculature issues,” Ramasamy says.
Looking back at the November 2020 installment of Urology Times’ Around the Practice, a virtual, monthly live case event focused on genitourinary cancers, Raoul S. Concepcion, MD, FACS, offers an update on clinical implications from two prostate cancer cases.
