CONCLUSIONS: Physicians are more aware of F2FGs than OSGs. Before COVID-19, F2FGs played a minor role. One out of 4 patients used OSGs. One-third considered them helpful for treatment decision-making. OSG use rarely affects the final treatment decision. Urologists significantly underestimate OSG use by their patients. Peer-to-peer support is more likely to be received by patients with anxiety and depression. Comparative interventional trials are needed to recommend peer-to-peer interventions for...

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The use of microultrasonography-guided biopsy was noninferior to MRI/conventional ultrasonography fusion-guided biopsy for the detection of Gleason Grade Group 2 or higher prostate cancer in biopsy-naive men. Microultrasonography may provide an alternative to MRI for image-guided prostate biopsy.

The aim of active surveillance (AS) is to avoid overtreatment of clinically insignificant prostate cancer (PCa). It is now strongly recommended for patients diagnosed with localized low-risk PCa. Additionally, it can be considered for selected patients with localized PCa in the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) group 2, provided patients have a favorable risk profile. This profile is histopathologically characterized by the presence of a low percentage of Gleason pattern 4 and...

CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The study findings illustrate that qPCR consistently outperforms conventional histology in detecting lymph node metastases, regardless of biochemical recurrence. The hypothesis that qPCR is better at predicting later biochemical recurrence than conventional histology has not been confirmed.

Purpose: Blunt abdominopelvic trauma frequently results in injuries to the urinary organs, especially in polytrauma. The urotrauma is rarely an acute life-threatening event; however, it may lead to severe complications. Methods: This review addresses the under-representation of urological trauma management in interdisciplinary medical training and its impact on patient outcomes. It compiles evidence-based recommendations and guidelines from multiple specialties, focusing on common challenges in...

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: HRQoL did not significantly differ between the biweekly CBZ16 and the standard schedule. Additionally, onset of some adverse events was delayed. These results may increase health care providers' confidence in using CBZ in older patients with mCRPC who are denied chemotherapy.

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this nonrandomized trial, although first-line cohort 1 treatment improved objective response rates, considerable progression events urge caution with this as a first-line therapy. Second-/third-line cohort 1 treatment did not improve response rates compared with nivolumab monotherapy. However, added high-dose ipilimumab may improve tumor response and survival in patients with mUC.

CONCLUSIONS: While there are several challenges to molecular testing and interpretation of test results that require enhancement, a multidisciplinary team approach will empower HCPs and their institutions to improve on or initiate their own molecular testing pathways. This in turn will lead to improvements in management strategies for patients with metastatic prostate cancer, for whom better treatment outcomes is a significant unmet need.
