A recently published cost-effectiveness analysis has found that using the ArteraAI Prostate Test to guide androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) decisions in men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer receiving radiotherapy dominates both universal ADT and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) risk group-guided ADT. In this program, Amar U. Kishan, MD, Executive Vice Chair for the Department of Radiation Oncology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, provides the clinical and scientific context needed to interpret those findings, reviewing the limitations of current risk stratification, the validation data supporting the ArteraAI test, and the Markov model methodology underlying the economic analysis.

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a chronic, often debilitating condition requiring sustainable long-term management, yet persistence on therapy—whether pharmacologic or procedural—has historically been poor. In this video series, Steven Bernstein, MD, a urologist in community practice in Minnesota, describes how a methodical, patient-centered evolution in his onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) injection technique—from the standard 20-site protocol to a single-site approach—has dramatically reduced procedural burden while preserving efficacy. Drawing on more than a decade of clinical experience and data from a retrospective chart review of 90 patients, Bernstein reports that the reduced-site protocol yielded a greater than 93% response rate, a retreatment interval of approximately 7.5 months, and persistence rates exceeding those reported in published literature with conventional injection techniques.

Prognostication after radical prostatectomy (RP) remains one of the most clinically demanding challenges in prostate cancer management, particularly for patients who develop biochemical recurrence years after surgery. In this series, R. Jeffrey Karnes, MD, the Dr. Anson Clark Professor of Urology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, examines the external validation of a post-RP multimodal artificial intelligence (MMAI) prognostic model in a long-term survivor cohort drawn from the Mayo Clinic radical prostatectomy registry.
