New and developing information regarding COVID-19
A national discussion, substantially fueled by the research of urologists at WCM / NYPH, has changed the official US view on PSA testing. Last year, Dr. Shoag with Drs. Mittal and Hu of Brady Urology reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, showing flaws in the US PLCO trial that had reported no benefit to PSA screening. In April 2017, the USPSTF revised the recommended guidelines for PSA testing, favoring the role of screening by stating "the decision about whether to be screened for prostate cancer should be an individual one".
At our Center for Male Reproductive Medicine & Microsurgery, patients are guided through a comprehensive and thorough analysis of male infertility, yielding many successful treatments and happy families.
Our research laboratories meet urologic conditions and disease on the battlefield. Paired with state-of-the-art technology, our researchers search for new preventative, tracking, and treatment methods for urologic conditions, such as prostate cancer. Brady Urology is proud to have played an integral role in many techniques, tests and procedures that have been invented or perfected by our Physician-Scientist Faculty.
Our Centers for Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery are founded in the effort to eliminate many complications traditionally associated with open urologic procedures. Our physicians emphasize patient education and outcomes research to determine when surgery is needed and best deliver their expertise.
