Mashup Score: 18FOCAL THERAPY Defining Candidates for Partial Gland Prostate Ablation: A Critical Challenge for Focal Therapy - American Urological Association - 20 day(s) ago
Improvement in prostate cancer (PCa) localization through multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) coupled with targeted biopsy has spurred interest in applying similar principles to address magnetic resonance (MR)-visible lesions via partial gland ablation. Although ongoing work from the centers of excellence provides encouraging short- and intermediate-term oncological outcomes for partial gland ablation strategies, clear recommendations on the ideal selection criteria for focal therapy (FT) remain undefined.

In my pediatric urology practice, regional disparities in care availability for children, particularly in underserved areas, have been evident. Focusing on early intervention’s importance to mitigate long-term health risks, such as the link between undescended testicles and testicular cancer, is a priority for me.

Mashup Score: 0GLOBAL STATE OF UROLOGY Urology Training in the UK: My Experience With the Global Residents Leadership Retreat - American Urological Association - 1 month(s) ago
Having recently completed the urology training program in England, this article has provided an opportunity for me to reflect on the positives and negatives of my training program. The application for urology training in the UK is centralized through a process called national selection, which occurs once a year. It is a 5-year higher surgical training program, requiring the demonstration of basic or core surgical competencies along with membership exams from one of the 4 Royal Colleges prior to application. In 2022, this program accepted 59 candidates in the UK, with a competition ratio of 1:4. Research, audit, and quality improvement are encouraged both at the time of application and throughout the training program.

Mashup Score: 4WHERE ARE THEY NOW? AUA Data Grant Recipients: Leveraging Big Data to Drive New Discoveries - American Urological Association - 1 month(s) ago
In 2018, I was a recipient of an AUA Data Grant, under the mentorship of Dr Jeremy B. Myers, for a project entitled “Long-term Complications from Treatments of Prostate Cancer: An Analysis of the Utah Population Database.” This award enabled our team to leverage big data to inform patients and providers regarding the long-term implications of treatments for localized prostate cancer. Importantly, I learned the advantages and limitations of retrospective, population-based studies. This caliber of scientific inquiry would not be possible during urology residency without the support of this award. Additionally, this solidified my desire to focus on prostate cancer survivorship care clinically.
