Under the leadership of Dr. Peter N. Schlegel, Brady Urology continually raises the global standards of urologic research, medical training, and clinical care.
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.
Within the Department of Urology at Weill Cornell Medicine, our specialized Center is home to team of specialists focusing on urogynecology and dedicated to female pelvic medicine & reconstructive surgery. The Center for Female Pelvic Health is a state-of-the art medical facility that serves as a single access point to the highest standard of urogynecologic care and clinical technologies, both surgical and non-surgical.
Weill Cornell Medicine's Department of Urology is proud to partner with NewYork-Presbyterian, ranked #10 in the nation and the #1 hospital in New York by US News and World Report.

In a 2014 modeling study published in Cancer, Gulati and colleagues predicted that if PSA screening continued at its current rate, 710,000 to 1.1 million men would be overdiagnosed between 2013 and 2025, but that 36,000 to 57,000 prostate cancer deaths would be prevented during that period.
