TL;DR: This work examined 3 aspects of urologist practice structure that may affect quality of prostate cancer care, including practice size, ownership of an intensity modulated radiation, and the role of funding and stigma in practice structure.

TL;DR: Use of the TDF domains and the COM-B model enabled us to conceptualize provider behavior with respect to low-value ADT use and clarify possible areas for intervention to effect de-implementation of low- Value ADT prescribing in localized prostate cancer.

TL;DR: Hospitals that succeeded in reducing readmission following major joint surgery targeted by the HRRP did not have similar reductions in readmissions following radical cystectomy, suggesting that each surgical condition may require tailored interventions to prevent readmissions.

TL;DR: The introduction of abiraterone and enzalutamide has allowed medical oncologists and urologists to manage patients with advanced prostate cancer with oral therapeutics with Oral therapeutics.

TL;DR: Despite ACO policy incentives to selectively adopt newer surgical technology, ACO participation was not associated with differences in rate of surgery or use of newer surgicaltechnology for 6 major surgical procedures.
