Neoadjuvant systemic and intravesical chemotherapy with partial cystectomy for muscle invasive bladder cancer with concomitant CIS.

The presence of carcinoma in situ (CIS) is traditionally a contraindication to bladder-sparing approaches for muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Strategies that might aid in bladder preservation for this population require further investigation. We report a case of MIBC with CIS treated with both neoadjuvant systemic and intravesical chemotherapy prior to partial cystectomy.

Early Career Publication Trajectory of Male Infertility Fellows During and After Fellowship.

Background: Improving evidence-based medicine through research contribution is an important aspect of fellowship training. Prior studies have investigated the research activity of urology fellows during and after fellowship. The main objective of this study was to specifically explore the publication productivity of male infertility fellows both during fellowship and in the first 5 years afterwards.

Online Health Information for Penile Prosthesis Implants Lacks Quality and Is Unreadable to the Average US Patient.

Background: Online health information (OHI) has become widely accessible and affects patient decisions regarding their healthcare. The purpose of this study was to assess the readability, quality, and accuracy of information available to patients online about penile prosthesis implants (PPIs).

Methods: We performed a Google search using the keywords "penile implant" and "penile prosthesis.

Effects of the 2012 and 2018 US preventive services task force prostate cancer screening guidelines on pathologic outcomes after prostatectomy.

Background: In May 2018, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended prostate cancer (PCa) screening for ages 55-69 be an individual decision. This changed from the USPSTF's May 2012 recommendation against screening for all ages. The effects of the 2012 and 2018 updates on pathologic outcomes after prostatectomy are unclear.

Metastasis of Rectal Adenocarcinoma to the Penis and Scrotum in an Adult.

We present a unique case of a 74-year-old male with rectal adenocarcinoma and subsequent cutaneous metastases to the penis and scrotum. Although penile and scrotal metastases have been described separately in the literature, no report has documented simultaneous metastases to both sites. Here, we describe our patient's clinical course, treatment, and intervention throughout the timeline of his disease.

Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Removal of a Large Primary Retroperitoneal Mature Cystic Teratoma in an Adult.

Mature teratomas are unique and generally benign neoplasms. They are derived from embryonic tissues and typically located within the gonadal region. Primary retroperitoneal teratomas are uncommon in adults and often challenging to treat, given their location and size.
