“While this study does offer a lot of promise for the treatment options that we can offer to these patients, it does also highlight the need for further prospective trials to evaluate the efficacy of this treatment, as well as the treatments of all the different surgical options available to patients who are suffering from BPH,” says Evan Garden.

A panel of experts in prostate cancer examine the use of conventional imaging and PSMA PET/CT and the impact on their approach to the management of mCNPC.

“We need better tests and better biomarkers to try to determine who still has residual cancer, even though they look like they don't,” says Christopher B. Anderson, MD, MPH.

“Thirteen percent of all doctors have suicidal ideation, and more than [400 physicians per year] will complete suicide. That is a tragedy of medicine,” says Diana Londoño, MD.

“I believe that at every stage, it's very important that we focus on healthful lifestyle behaviors because we can improve [urologic patients’] overall survival and their cardiovascular health,” says Stacy Loeb, MD, PhD, MSc.

“I think it's important for people to recognize this revolution that's going on, to see that we're going from what fell to why it fell,” says John O. L. DeLancey, MD.

“Compared to other BPH treatments, this is a very fast, reproducible technology that could democratize how all urologists do BPH surgery,” says Kevin Zorn, MD, FRCSC, FACS.

“It was black, it was overwhelming, it was every day,” says William Lynes, MD.

Dr Raoul S. Concepcion presents the case of a 69-year-old man with metastatic castration-naïve prostate cancer (mCNPC), and the panel shares their personal approaches to treatment.
