CIGNA alters business practices following huge settlement

Small index lesions on initial multiparametric MRI were linked to a less aggressive clinical course for patients with prostate cancer on active surveillance.

In this episode, Janelle Bunce, PA-C, highlights the role that advanced practice providers can play in filling the gaps created by the growing workforce shortages in urology.

The investigators reported that “the risk of recurrence was significantly lower following BLC (HR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.51-0.89) than WLC.”

"We're excited that the FDA approval of this radiotracer gives us yet more tools at our disposal to diagnose prostate cancer in all its forms, from early to late in the disease process," says David M. Schuster, MD, FACR.

The priority review is based on results from the phase 3 EV-302 trial.

Primary chemoablative therapy with the mitomycin-containing reverse thermal gel UGN-102 induced complete responses in nearly 4 out of 5 patients with low-grade intermediate-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
