Taken together, the findings suggest that targeted augmentation of cholinergic signalling may help bridge the gap between anatomical de-obstruction and functional recovery in BOO-mediated UAB.

While MRI performance does not appear to depend on testosterone and inter-reader agreement is high, open questions remain, including whether PSMA PET or genomic markers could further refine early detection.

The authors hypothesised that, in women with OAB, the additional sympathetic blockade produced by spinal anaessthesia would further unmask parasympathetic dominance.

Researchers have developed a PSA-based index incorporating MRI measurements of periprostatic fat that significantly improves the prediction of high-grade prostate cancer.

AI-assisted autocontouring safely outlines organs for prostate radiotherapy, study finds—though manual edits are still needed for the prostate itself.

A major study shows that nearly 1 in 6 men with biopsy Grade Group 1 prostate cancer are at higher risk than previously assumed, with outcomes comparable to intermediate-grade disease.

Despite aggressive interventions, the five-year survival rate remains below 50% for those with localised disease and plummets to less than 15% when metastasis occurs.
