Urology Times 50 Innovations Series: Transrectal ultrasound-based prostate biopsy

In the first article of this series, Nilay Gandhi, MD, explains the treatment and management of patients with advanced/metastatic prostate cancer and details the options for androgen deprivation therapy.

Amar Kishan, MD, highlights findings showing that MRI-guided SBRT is superior to CT-guided SBRT in localized prostate cancer.

Patients with mCRPC will be randomly assigned 2:1 to receive masofaniten/enzalutamide or enzalutamide alone.

“Localized prostate cancer is a very complicated disease space,” says Aaron A. Laviana, MD, MBA.

The Focal One high intensity focused ultrasound system uses precision sound waves to destroy prostate tumor tissue and spare healthy tissue, reducing the risk of side effects that would lower a patient's quality of life.

"FPSA is an important, inexpensive, and readily available test in our risk-stratification toolbox," writes Badar M. Mian, MD.
