John P. Sfakianos, MD, discusses the challenges of managing recurrent LG-IR-NMIBC and the role of chemoablation.

Rising patient interest in TRT, GLP-1s, and peptide stacking requires clinicians to anchor conversations in evidence tiers, use baseline DEXA scans to monitor body composition, and engage patient goals without endorsing unsupported claims.

The data are compelling, but only if patients reach a medical oncologist. Joshua J. Meeks, MD, PhD, tackles the unresolved questions in MIBC care and lays out the referral steps every community urologist can take today.

NeoBLAST, a phase 2/3 Canadian trial, tests whether active surveillance can safely replace surgery/radiation in MIBC patients with complete response to neoadjuvant therapy.

The data behind hyaluronic acid rectal spacers go well beyond the pivotal trial—3-year follow-up and real-world safety reviews add up to a compelling durability story.

As dose escalation and hypofractionation become the norm, 2 physicians break down why perirectal spacing has become essential and how hyaluronic acid and hydrogel products actually differ in the room.

How urologists partner with oncologists to deliver durvalumab plus BCG for high‑risk bladder cancer—keeping care local through communication.

From same-day texts to shared clinic visits, 2 academic physicians describe the day-to-day mechanics of a urology-medical oncology partnership that actually works for patients.

Mark D. Tyson II, MD, MPH, and Alexandra Drakaki, MD, work through what the POTOMAC results mean for who should actually receive the combination.

Timothy D. McClure, MD, discusses 2-year PRESERVE trial safety data and 12-month AUA findings linking prostate size to IPSS improvement after focal IRE.

Mary Dunn, MSN, RN, NP-C, OCN, discusses how APPs support genetic testing through patient counseling, test ordering, result communication, and referrals to genetics specialists.
