TL;DR: Favorable clinicopathological parameters and treatment in the PSA era are associated with improved cancer control and RRP can be performed with excellent survival outcomes, according to actuarial 10-year probabilities.

TL;DR: One immediate intravesical instillation of chemotherapy significantly decreases the risk of recurrence after TUR in patients with stage Ta T1 single and multiple bladder cancer overall and separately.

TL;DR: This large multicenter study suggests that it is safe to expand the indications of partial nephrectomy to include patients with T1N0M0 renal tumors up to 7 cm, however, careful patient selection remains necessary.

TL;DR: There were no statistically significant differences in cancer specific survival and distant metastases-free survival between patients treated with NSS and RN for 4 to 7 cm RCC after adjusting for important pathological features.

TL;DR: Serum PSA was related to prostate cancer 20 years ago but in the last 5 years serum PSA has only been related to benign prostatic hyperplasia and there is an urgent need for serum markers that reflect the size and grade of this ubiquitous cancer.

TL;DR: Nerve sparing RRP can be performed with favorable potency and urinary continence and other complications are reduced with increasing surgeon experience.

TL;DR: Extended radical lymphadenectomy is strongly recommend to all patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer to remove all metastatic tumor deposits completely and to serve as a guideline for future standardization and quality control of the procedure.

TL;DR: Evidence supported the proposition that ED shares common risk factors with these 4 concurrent conditions and suggested that clinicians could include ED in the assessment profile of these concurrent conditions for earlier detection and treatment.

TL;DR: Testosterone treated subjects had greater improvement in erectile function compared to those who received placebo, reaching statistical significance at week 4, and t-gel taken with sildenafil may be beneficial in improving erectilefunction in hypogonadal men with erectile dysfunction who are unresponsive to sildanafil alone.

TL;DR: HoLEP and TURP were equally effective for relieving obstruction and lower urinary tract symptoms and HoLEP was associated with shorter catheterization time and hospital stay.

TL;DR: Emerging hints that prostate inflammation may contribute to prostatic carcinogenesis will provide opportunities for the discovery and development of new drugs and strategies for prostate cancer prevention.

TL;DR: The prevalence of Peyronie's disease in a cohort of men being screened for prostate cancer in the United States was found to be greater than in most previously reported series and there was a significant association between PeyRONIE's disease aging, hypertension, diabetes and patient self-reported erectile dysfunction.

TL;DR: CaPSURE data confirm the usefulness of percent positive biopsies in risk assessment and they have further been used to validate multiple preoperative nomograms, and strongly affirm the necessity of patient reported quality of life assessment.

TL;DR: HAL fluorescence cystoscopy improves the detection of bladder CIS significantly, which has consequences for clinical management and may improve the patient prognosis.

TL;DR: HoLEP and TURP are highly effective procedures for removing obstructing prostatic adenomas in a randomized, prospective clinical trial and resulted in significantly better micturition parameters and less perioperative morbidity.

TL;DR: Compared to limited lymph node dissection, extended pelvic lymphadenectomy appears to identify men with positive lymph nodes more frequently and a significant benefit in biochemical recurrence-free survival may exist for certain subgroups undergoing the extended dissection.

TL;DR: The size of the effect is modest and combination chemotherapy can be administered safely without adverse outcomes resulting in delayed local therapy and combined chemotherapy improves overall survival in muscle invasive TCC.

TL;DR: The symptoms of CP/CPPS appear to result from an interplay between psychological factors and dysfunction in the immune, neurological and endocrine systems.

TL;DR: Local tumor bulk and the number/percent of involved lymph nodes significantly affect disease progression and the survival rate and radical prostatectomy may offer long-term survival in patients who have limited tumor Bulk and nodal involvement.

TL;DR: In this article, a dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer (Dx/HA) was used for endoscopic implantation for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).

TL;DR: Treatment with solifenacin 5 mg and 10 mg once daily significantly improved all the major symptoms of overactive bladder including frequency, urgency and incontinence.

TL;DR: Fine needle biopsy of small renal masses could select benign lesions for which observation might be an alternative to surgery and could be a key point in tailored management of small solid renal masses and provide important information to those patients harboring renal masses.

TL;DR: This poster presents the findings of a two-year study conducted at the 2016 ICS conference in Hong Kong of the impact of technology on children’s development in the developing world and the role of social media in that process.

TL;DR: While RRP is currently the least costly approach, LRP has proved to be almost as cost competitive as RRP, whereas RAP will require a significant decrease in the cost of the device and maintenance fees.

TL;DR: The overall decrease in the mortality rate of prostate cancer since 1994 may be due to improvements in screening, diagnosis and treatments, and the aging of the American population and the exponential increase in prostate cancer incidence and mortality rates by age are important to consider when assessing the future morbidity and mortality burden of this disease.

TL;DR: The Reduction by Dutasteride of Prostate Cancer Events clinical trial is an international, multicenter, double-blind, placebo controlled chemoprevention study designed to determine if dutasterside 0.5 mg daily decreases the risk of biopsy detectable prostate cancer.

TL;DR: Standards for radical cystectomy can be established and achieved by experienced surgeons operating on patients presenting with diverse clinical situations.

TL;DR: Standard clinical features of prostate cancer in each lobe-PSA, palpable induration and biopsy Gleason sum-can be used to predict the side specific probability of ECE in RP specimens and are sufficiently accurate for use in clinical practice in decisions such as wide versus close dissection of the cavernous nerves from the prostate.

TL;DR: Recommendations on the use of medications currently available in the United States are provided, based on a consensus of expert opinion following review of the literature, which assumes the absence of partner sexual dysfunction.
