When the USPSTF issued its recommendation against PSA testing, urologists nationwide, myself included, warned about the possible public health repercussions that could ensue. Our fears have materialized, and much sooner than anticipated.

The combination of multiparametric MRI with a fusion-guided biopsy (MRI plus ultrasound) was more effective at detecting aggressive prostate cancer compared with either procedure alone.

Although use of robotic surgery for prostate cancer has surpassed open surgical procedures in number, the impact of this approach on patient quality of life has not been well-studied.

The addition of docetaxel to standard hormonal therapy significantly improved survival among men with newly diagnosed, hormone-naïve advanced prostate cancer.

Neal D. Shore, MD, FACS, medical director, Carolina Urologic Research Center, provides an overview of biomarkers in prostate cancer.

Surgery has its side effects, says radiation oncologist Richard Stock, including possible incontinence and sexual dysfunction. While radiation is less invasive, it does have its own side effects.

The FDA has updated the label for Zytiga plus prednisone to include data that detailed a significant prolongation in overall survival for Zytiga versus placebo in chemotherapy-naive men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Two studies investigating Xtandi in men with early-stage metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) further confirmed the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) benefit of the agent over placebo, according to two recent studies.
