“What we've been working on is a giant 30,000 patient database study using the National Cancer Database to see exactly what the rates are of upstaging and downstaging for these larger kidney tumors,” says Taylor Goodstein, MD.

“Without the ability to do new patient telehealth, by definition, it's really hard to impact access to care,” says Juan J. Andino, MD, MBA.

"We found that patients whose care was impacted by shortages did not have statistically significantly worse recurrence outcomes compared to patients whose care was not impacted by shortages," says Madison M. Wahlen.

"We found that with a 5-year Kaplan-Meier survival analysis that patients with varicocele had worse outcomes than patients without varicocele," says Muhammed A. Moukhtar Hammad, MBBCh.

"Overall, our trial shows promising early oncological efficacy with a favorable toxicity profile," says Gal Wald, MD.

“I think having the ability to monitor patients with imaging and using things like PSMA-PET is good, but yet we're we sometimes have pitfalls with PSMA-PET too,” says Michael Cookson, MD.

"I think the precision of Aquablation helps significantly with improving the results," says Mohamad Baker Berjaoui, MD.

ProstACT GLOBAL is assessing the safety and efficacy of 177Lu-TLX591 plus SOC vs SOC alone in patients with mCRPC.

"We wanted to see if medical recommendations for vaginal estrogen for postmenopausal women for symptom correction have a correlation with rising interest [among patients]," says Elia Abou Chawareb, MD.
