Miles-Thomas emphasized the importance of Northwestern’s thoughtful implementation strategy.

William C. Huang, MD, highlights data from a long-term extension study of the OPTIMA II trial.

Kurtzman stressed that it is difficult to disentangle whether the increased hypertension risk is primarily due to the intervention itself or to the patients’ initial clinical state.

Surprisingly, the Mediterranean diet—which has shown benefits in other areas of health—was not consistently linked to prostate cancer risk reduction.

Kevin Koo, MD, MPH, discusses a recent study on the utility of a digital stone measurement tool for ureteroscopy.

Rana R. McKay, MD, FASCO, outlines findings from a study looking at the somatic, germline, and immunologic landscapes of UTUC and UCB tumors.

35% of patients with renal trauma developed new-onset hypertension, compared with 21% of controls.

Hong Truong, MD, MS, highlights key findings on genetic counseling rates in patients with kidney cancer.

Both experts stress that the framework is not intended to overhaul physicians’ communication styles but rather to highlight overlooked areas.

Experts discuss the ways in which AI could transform patient care and improve physician workflows, particularly for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Both urologists emphasized that Northwestern’s integrated structure and commitment to innovation allow any urologist within the network to contribute ideas and see them developed into practice.

Sandip M. Prasad, MD, MPhil, outlines 3 key takeaways from the ENVISION trial, which evaluated mitomycin for intravesical solution in patients with LG-IR-NMIBC.

Many clinicians do not explain how the consultation will unfold or clearly define the respective roles of physician and patient.

Rana R. McKay, MD, FASCO, details the key efficacy and safety findings from the phase 2 COMRADE trial.

Rian J. Dickstein, MD, provides an overview of detalimogene voraplasmid, currently being evaluated for the treatment of non–muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Panelists discuss how patients with early recurrent low-grade bladder cancer, especially those on an anticoagulant or with multiple risk factors, represent ideal candidates for ablative therapy with UGN-102 to break the cycle of repeated transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBTs) and provide a paradigm shift from purely surgical management to shared decision-making between surgical and medical treatment options.

Timothy D. McClure, MD, offers his thoughts on how future advancements will inform the role for focal therapy in prostate cancer.

Jennifer A. Robles, MD, MPH, discusses the future for HoLEP in terms of innovation and wider integration into urologic practice.

Sandip M. Prasad, MD, MPhil, discusses the safety profile for mitomycin for intravesical solution based on data from the ENVISION trial.

Avani Desai emphasizes that inadequate or unclear parental leave policies carry significant consequences, particularly during residency.

Kevin Shee, MD, PhD, shares findings on factors associated with recurrence and treatment failure following HIFU for prostate cancer.

The tool is designed as a patient-facing application that can be used both during clinic visits and independently at home.

An expert summarizes that the evolving non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer treatment landscape emphasizes early therapy intensification and personalized management—leveraging advanced diagnostics and varied intravesical therapies—to better distinguish recurrence from progression, aiming to preserve bladder function and improve outcomes while minimizing overtreatment and radical surgery.

An expert summarizes that interpreting trial results requires understanding study design—such as reinduction strategies—and recognizing that regulatory, logistical, and practical factors will influence the adoption of new bladder cancer therapies, emphasizing the need for larger studies and thoughtful integration of efficacy with real-world considerations to guide personalized treatment decisions.

Daniel Canter, MD, shares his thoughts on the potential impact of 89Zr-girentuximab for kidney cancer management, if approved.

Kathryn H. Gessner, MD, PhD, outlines the clinical scenarios in which she finds genomic testing most useful.

Nicolette G. Payne, MD, pointed to the critical role of leadership and institutional culture in addressing burnout.

Panelists discuss how patients with recurrent low-grade bladder cancer, particularly women who may face additional anatomical challenges during transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) procedures, can benefit from UGN-102 as an alternative to repetitive surgical resections, addressing the TURBT treadmill phenomenon where patients undergo multiple procedures with diminishing returns.

Ultimately, Desai argues, increasing transparency in policies is not only about compliance but about fostering resident well-being and inclusivity.

Panelists discuss how patients currently on injectable androgen deprivation therapy can transition to oral options through an overlap period, and how stated drug interactions with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors have not been clinically significant in practice.
