"This study provides a comprehensive review of the role of natural products as complementary treatments for prostate cancer," says Channing J. Paller, MD.

“Then recently, of course, with the single-port device, that has truly allowed us to be less invasive with our robotic approaches,” says Adam Lorentz, MD, FACS.

"I know this year we're going to see even more companies producing more products, more results, and hopefully really help change and improve patient outcomes, especially when it comes to overactive bladder," says Raveen Syan, MD, FPMRS.

“They come out of the fellowship competent and competitive in the field to any urology position that they're interested in,” says Tania Solomon, PA-C, MSc.

"The approach is often to identify what treatments the patients have tried already, so we don't try those again, and then have a discussion about the pros and cons," says J. Quentin Clemens, MD, MSCI.

"At Mayo Clinic, we think that delivering intravesical therapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer in patients' homes has the potential to reduce treatment burden, improve the patient experience, as well as increase access to care," says Timothy D. Lyon, MD.

According to Sanda, future advancements may involve gene and RNA sequencing, the use of AI in imaging, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

"There is new technology emerging for skin stimulation of the perineum that is just recently evolving to help control OAB symptoms," says Anne Pelletier Cameron, MD, FRCSC, FPMRS.

"We are trying to develop epigenetic biomarkers that can predict patients that are starting to progress to neuroendocrine prostate cancer," says Jindan Yu, MD, PhD.

"The notion that the urine is sterile should be hopefully abolished by now, especially in this group where we know that these individuals do have a lot of bacteria growing in their bladders," says Brendan T. Frainey, MD.

"My biggest hope for people reading this review is to understand that there are some golden opportunities for research," says Laura Bukavina, MD, MPH, MSc.

"Just having someone with another set of eyes I think is always helpful and gives you a lot of inspiration as well as a lot of encouragement on exactly what you need to do next," says Gia Ching.

“The patients I find that have the most pronounced benefit are the patients with the very large prostates, or the patients who are catheter dependent with concern for neurogenic or myogenic bladder failure,” says Brendan M. Browne, MD.

"I think integrating microbiome surveillance into clinical trials can bridge the gap between research and also therapeutic applications," says Ilaha Isali, MD, MSc.

“What creates job satisfaction are 3 principles: mastery, autonomy, and a sense of purpose,” says Mark T. Edney, MD.

“It's hard for us, based on our evidence here, to say that neoadjuvant chemotherapy is causal in any way or is resulting in prolonged survival,” says Fed Ghali, MD.

"It was a daunting task, although I will say the original core was exceptional, so I had a wonderful framework from which to work," says Jeffrey A. Albaugh, PhD, APRN, CUCNS.

"I think the first thing you need to identify is, do you have a following, or do you have a niche that you know that you're not currently able to fill with your current role?" says Gia Ching.

“One of the ways we make the most difference for our patients is we take care of the people who are taking care of them,” says Chad Ritenour, MD.

“As long as APPs are properly supported, they will take off and they will change your practice,” says Mark T. Edney, MD.

“Another aspect is how to make this more and more complex diagnostic chain for prostate cancer work in practice, because we now have so [many] more tools than we had a decade ago,” says Tobias Nordström, MD, PhD.

"Studying the microbiome overall is challenging because it's dirty science. You have to be incredibly careful with contamination," says Ilaha Isali, MD, MSc, and Laura Bukavina, MD, MPH, MSc.

"If we synergize our efforts and our energy, as the level of the sea rises, all ships on the sea will rise with it," says Wayne Kuang, MD.

“The key take home message of that study was that having assumptions about basic medical terminology that we think are simple may actually leave patients confused,” says Vikram M. Narayan, MD.

“If there's enough radiation, then the cells can't repair themselves and die because of the radiation,” says Scott T. Tagawa, MD, MS, FACP, FASCO.

“I think promoting women in leadership positions, promoting mentorship for women applicants and women already in this field, and working on policy changes are the top 3,” says Michelle S. Sheng, MD.

"The interplay between the microbiome and bladder cancer is very complex," says Ilaha Isali, MD, MSc.

“It's a good problem to have, because we're thinking about a previous era in which we didn't have many options besides more BCG vs cystectomy,” says Vikram M. Narayan, MD.

"You don't want to go into anything blind. You want to make sure that the numbers make sense," says Gia Ching.

"We're very much looking forward to the new data that'll be presented, hopefully, within the next year, to see where this falls in the grand scheme of the all the new drugs coming into play here," says Shreyas S. Joshi, MD, MPH.
