The best take-home messages from the 2012 American Urological Association annual meeting in Atlanta

Atlanta-The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's announcement that it was sticking with its grade D recommendation on prostate cancer screening came at the midpoint of the 2012 AUA annual meeting here. Conversations everywhere, from the scientific sessions to hotel lobbies, quickly turned to analysis and opinion of the controversial announcement.

Although it hardly seemed so at the time, other news came out of the meeting in the form of cutting-edge research findings in a broad array of clinical areas. Beginning here, Urology Times presents "The Best of AUA," our report on the meeting's take-home messages, which were pared down to 15 topics this year in a shortened meeting format.
