Next Generation Genomics and Biomarkers

Leonard G. Gomella, MD, FACS
Mar 2019

The role of genetic testing for prostate cancer risk is a rapidly changing area. Experts debate the indications of sending a patient on to genetic counseling for further potential screening for inherited prostate cancer risk. One major issue that needs to be addressed in the urology community today is recognizing the frequency of inherited mutations that are affecting prostate cancer patients.

Next Generation nmCRPC

David Utz
Dec 2018

Latest prostate cancer research is turning its focus on the M0 space. Many therapeutic options for castration-resistant prostate cancer are approved and used for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), but fewer options exist for those with non-metastatic (NM) CRPC.

Next Generation Imaging

David Utz

The role of imaging is paramount in this evolution by providing physicians with accurate information on both the presence and extent of prostate cancers. Developments in molecular imaging are paving the way for more physicians to diagnose cancer and apply relevant therapy.

Next Generation Androgen Deprivation Therapy

Celestia S. Higano, MD
Oct 2018

One of the major treatments for prostate cancer is androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), and about 50% of prostate cancer patients are treated with ADT at some point in their disease. ADT is used most frequently for patients with local but advanced prostate cancer or metastatic prostate cancer.

Next Generation Nocturia

Kevin T. McVary, MD, FACS
Aug 2018

Nocturia is arguably the most bothersome lower urinary tract symptom and necessarily imposes a considerable burden on quality of life. The often-multifactorial etiologies contributing to nocturia obscure the establishment of a reliable diagnosis.

Bladder with low grade papillary urothelial carcinoma.

Next Generation UTUC

Seth P. Lerner, MD
Aug 2018

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is cancer of the transitional urothelial cells that line the upper urothelial tract of the renal pelvis and ureter. This type of cancer accounts for between 5% and 10% of urothelial cancer cases.
