LAS VEGAS, April 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abstracts presented at this year's American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting in Las Vegas will spotlight a series of innovative research studies poised to transform prostate cancer care.

Featured abstracts include advancements in artificial intelligence that surpass radiologist performance in cancer detection, validation of a non-invasive urine test eliminating the need for digital rectal exams, new findings on the impact of testosterone replacement therapy after prostate surgery and an analysis of online misinformation about prostate cancer. Together, these studies underscore the rapid progress and multidisciplinary efforts shaping the future of urological oncology.

Researchers will present their study findings covering important updates on prostate cancer from April 26 to 29. Adam Weiner, MD, a urologic oncologist at Cedars Sinai Hospital, posed in-depth questions to the abstract authors, providing key insights into their research. 

“The diagnosis and management of prostate cancer has evolved tremendously in recent years,” said Dr. Weiner. “Today, patients with prostate cancer can live longer with fewer effects on their quality of life. Still, researchers are constantly striving to reduce harm caused by treatments and procedures without compromising cancer care. In these works, the study authors have attacked this issue from many approaches. We owe a debt of gratitude to the efforts of these researchers who work to make the lives of our patients better.”

The following abstracts are spotlighted in the AUA Press Program:

• The Impact of Testosterone Replacement Therapy vs. No Treatment: Delaying Biochemical Recurrence Post-RP
• Digital Rectal Exam No More: Validated Accuracy of MYPROSTATESCORE 2.0 (MPS2) Using First-Catch, Non-DRE Urine
• Online Misinformation About Prostate Cancer
• Multimodal MRI-TRUS AI Model Exceeds Radiologist Performance in Prostate Cancer Detection
