Genomic profiling represents the first clinical practice–ready tool for precision oncology in metastatic prostate cancer. Here we outline current testing considerations and gray zones regarding how best to apply genomic testing in the clinic. The lessons we learn today will continue to shape how we integrate evolving biology and future technologies into practice.

Biomarkers are now ubiquitous in prostate cancer care. In addition to longstanding use of prostate-specific antigen, we now have secondary serum-, urine-, and tissue-based markers that help in optimizing patient care and patient compliance with therapeutic recommendations. The ship has sailed: these markers are useful and are here to stay.

Minimal use of hemostatic energy close to the neurovascular bundle has been a “dogma” of the nerve-sparing technique. We demonstrate that dissection of the lateral prostatic pedicle with bipolar energy is oncologically and functionally similar to the standard approach with shorter operative time.

Mashup Score: 11Improving Guideline Adherence in Urology - 3 year(s) ago
There are evidence-practice gaps in urology. Implementation science approaches should be used to improve adherence to clinical practice guidelines. This will require a concerted effort from multiple stakeholders to describe practice variations, understand reasons for nonadherence, and design implementation interventions.

Mashup Score: 3Management of Urosymphyseal Fistula and Pelvic Osteomyelitis: A Comprehensive Institutional Experience and Improvements in Pain Control - 4 year(s) ago
Although a rare condition, urosymphyseal fistula commonly presents with severe pain and abscess, but diagnosis may be delayed. Pelvic bone removal with bladder removal or repair can result in lower long-term pain and opioid use.

Our retrospective multicentre study suggests that conservative management with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy could achieve satisfactory results among T1 micropapillary bladder cancer patients compared with immediate radical cystectomy, especially among individuals with lymphovascular invasion or pure micropapillary bladder cancer at initial diagnosis.

Mashup Score: 0Accuracy of Transurethral Resection of the Bladder in Detecting Variant Histology of Bladder Cancer Compared with Radical Cystectomy - 4 year(s) ago
Correct identification of variant histologies of bladder cancer at transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) drives the subsequent treatment. Unfortunately, the degree of concordance between TURB specimen and radical cystectomy specimen appears to be slight (76%).

We read with great interest the recent report by Soria and colleagues [1] on perioperative outcomes after open radical cystectomy (ORC) and robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). The authors must be commended for the collection of an impressive cohort of bladder cancer (BCa) patients (>1800 individuals) who were treated with either ORC or RARC at 25 European and North American institutions…

Patients with advanced genitourinary cancers experience clinically relevant psychosocial distress. Routine psychosocial screening has the ability to identify patients’ unmet needs and assist the health care team in addressing such symptoms. Effective supportive care modalities, including remote home-based interventions, have the potential to mitigate emotional symptom burden and improve disease…
