The biologics license application (BLA) has been accepted for Enfortumab Vedotin for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma in patients who have previously received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and platinum-containing chemotherapy. Enfortumab Vedotin is the first domestically submitted targeted antibody-drug conjugate that specifically targets Nectin-4. Enfortumab ...
Movember is an annual initiative where men from around the globe grow mustaches to raise awareness for men’s health causes, including mental health and suicide prevention, testicular cancer, and prostate cancer. Through events, fundraising, and using mustaches as a light-hearted starting point for important conversations, the movement supports men in taking charge of their health to live ...
Being the first bladder scanner in the world which can measure BWT bladder wall thickness, M5 makes it possible that BWT can be monitored easily and quickly on daily basis. This feature fosters research on coorelation between BWT and different urological diseases. During the interview with Dr. Xu Kexin from Peking University People's Hospital whose team has been using M5 for about one year, we ...
Objective To generate a high-resolution map of periprostatic somatic nerves. Periprostatic nerves are at risk of injury during radical prostatectomy; this study aimed to establish the location of somatic nerves with respect to the prostate and the neurovascular bundle. Materials and Methods Hemiprostates from patients in whom a wide local excision was performed were evaluated. Representative ...
What is urine flow rate test? You may be unfamiliar with the term urine flow rate or urinary flow rate, which is a common medical term in urology. Put it simply, the rate of urine flow measures how fast urine flows, how much it flows out, and how long it takes. It is expressed in ml/s. Urine flow rate test is done mainly when the following symptoms appear: bladder residual urine increase ...
Real-world data shows that at a 94% sensitivity level for prostate cancer ClarityDX Prostate® is 147% more specific than the PSA test for predicting clinically significant prostate cancer. Using ClarityDX Prostate® as a reflex test vs. PSA test alone could have resulted in 37% fewer unnecessary biopsies. The clinical study recruited men from two sites in Alberta, Canada, and one site ...

The challenge The Pierre Oudot Hospital was constructed in 2011 and took up the challenge of building a “full digital” establishment to meet the requirements of a connected and communicating hospital. By implementing the PACS and phasing out radiological films, the hospital has created the conditions for the multimedia environment in the operating room. All the rooms are ...
The competitive stakes in robotic surgery have never been higher as medical device companies try to disrupt the market that Intuitive Surgical pioneered more than two decades ago. Robotic surgery pioneer Intuitive Surgical celebrated a big milestone this week: The number of robotic-assisted procedures performed worldwide using the da Vinci surgical system has just surpassed 10 million. ...
#CancelEverything On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) a global pandemic. Its impact left the world uncertain about health, politics and the economy. The first wave caused a major disruption to health services, exacerbating concerns of patient and physician safety and resource availability. On trend with the “cancel ...
Our Value-Based Robotics series advances towards the actual clinical use of robotics and issues concerning practicality and surgeon onboarding and training. It is generally accepted that robotic surgical systems enable minimally invasive surgery and improve outcomes, including shorter recovery times, less scarring, and reduced healthcare costs. This being said, the jury is still out on whether ...
“Freehand transperineal biopsy” seems to be the latest buzzword in the urology world, and for good reason. Compared to transrectal, transperineal is proven to be the cleaner and ultimately safer approach for prostate biopsies. The support for transperineal is growing, as mounting evidence continues to debunk previous misconceptions of tolerability, feasibility and accuracy. We ...
The robot arms move above the patient’s stomach as if guided by an invisible hand. Monitors on each side of the operating table show an oversized, 3-D image of the stomach’s interior. Two meters (about six feet) away, Dr. Markus Mille sits fully absorbed at the control ...
What is telemedicine? Telemedicine is sharing information about a patient’s health outside of a traditional in-person visit with a doctor. Telemedicine began in the 1950s when hospital systems tried to find ways to share information through the telephone. Telemedicine was used between doctors and their patients, especially when connecting a patient to a specialist at a distance. The ...

Abstract Objective: To evaluate an epigenetic assay performed on tissue from negative prostate biopsies in a group of African American (AA) men undergoing repeat biopsy, and to compare accuracy for predicting repeat biopsy outcome to prior studies conducted in predominantly Caucasian populations. Materials and methods: The study population consisted of 211 AA men from 7 urology centers ...
Abstract Purpose: SelectMDx (MDxHealth®) is a panel of urinary biomarkers used in conjunction with traditional risk factors to individualize risk prediction for clinically significant prostate cancer. In this study we sought to characterize the effectiveness of SelectMDx in a population of American men with elevated prostate specific antigen. Materials and methods: We developed a ...
Summary OTraces, in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Medical Center, Brady Urology Institute (JHMC), performed a blinded validation study on OTraces prostate cancer (PCa) detection products. The blinded validation project involves two phases, and the first has been completed: Phase I: Blinded third party validation of the test for men with aggressive PCa, Gleason score of 7(4+3), 8, 9, and ...
Chris Snyder, a speaker at the marcus evans National Healthcare CMO/CMIO Summit 2013, on effective CPOE adoption. Interview with: Chris Snyder, Chief Medical Information Officer, Peninsula Regional Medical Center The adoption of Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) technologies has been slow in the US, although 2014 is the proposed start date for Stage 2 of the Meaningful Use Requirements. ...
My standards education began in 1990 when I became the chairman of an ASTM International task group. I was the group leader of R&D for a medical device manufacturer, recognized the need for a specific industry standard and felt that taking a leadership role in developing this standard would be a good professional development activity. The standard was eventually approved and I continue to ...
