Focused Issue: Male Genitourinary Reconstruction and Trauma edited by Drs. Benjamin N. Breyer and E. Charles Osterberg

This issue brings together the research and evidence-based practices of many experts in our field. These experts are thought-leaders and have contributed to advancing male GU reconstruction and trauma in a multitude of ways. We are extremely grateful for all the authors’ hard work and contribution to make this a unique and exciting issue in TAU.

Focused Issue: Knowledge Gaps in Male Infertility edited by Drs. James M. Hotaling and Ranjith Ramasamy

The objective of this issue of Knowledge Gaps in Male Infertility is to highlight the several advances that have happened in the care of infertile men. Our goal in writing this is to identify what research is needed to move the field forward and, ultimately, imagine what issues need to be solved in order to bring male infertility care to the same level of diagnosis and treatment as female infertility. Our hope is that by identifying what the roadblocks are we can stimulate others to pursue the key areas in our field that are holding us back. This issue should stimulate others to look for funding opportunities and industry partnerships that can move us beyond these roadblocks.

Focused Issue: Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer edited by Dr. Mark K. Buyyounouski

The intended purpose of this issue is to raise awareness of radiation therapy and to provide current perspectives on some of its most important topics related to prostate cancer. Whether you are the most seasoned senior clinician or junior trainee, this issue is a resource for reviewing the literature, formulating practice patterns and educating patients. And, translational scientists and clinical researchers who are considering the future of prostate radiation therapy have a concise collective of ideas and opinion from well-recognized and leading experts in the field.

Focused Issue: Active Surveillance for Prostate Cancer edited by Drs. Marc A. Dall’Era, Benjamin J. Davies, Scott Eggener

Prostate cancer management continues to rapidly evolve for men presenting with all stages of disease. In response to the pandemic of over detection and overtreatment of indolent prostate cancer, active surveillance has become a standard management strategy for many men with low-risk cancers. Many challenges with clinical implementation of active surveillance persist, including optimal selection criteria, surveillance strategies, indicators of disease progression and when further treatment may be warranted.

Focused Issue: Prostate Cancer Screening and Active Surveillance in the Western World edited by Dr. Monique J. Roobol

Prostate cancer screening and active surveillance are two topics within the field of prostate cancer research that have evolved from virtually non-existing in the 70s of the last century to now being in the centre of research. While it has been shown that PSA based screening can save lives, it is clear that a screening algorithm on the basis of PSA and random systematic prostate biopsy is not the way to go. It leads to unacceptable rates of unnecessary (repeat) testing and, in addition, leads to thousands of men diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer that often get risky treatment they don’t need.

The 2018 GreatWall International Translational Andrology and Urology Forum Huaxia Medical Forum-Genitourinary in China on Aug. 31-Sept. 3, 2018

We would like to invite you and your colleagues to GU-HMF 2018 & GITAU 2018, which will be held at Fengda International Hotel in Hefei, China from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3, 2018.

The theme of the 2018 meeting is “Standardized Treatment of Genitourinary Diseases to Effectively Improve Human Health Life”.

TAU Annual Report 2017

We are glad to present the 2017 Annual Report of TAU here. There were 354 articles published in TAU. The total citation of TAU has increased to 971 and the total retrieval of the journal in PubMed was 616,949 times. More information is shown in the Annual Report.

We also would like to give our sincere thanks to all our editorial board members, reviewers, authors and readers. Wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2018!

Focused Issue: Bladder Cancer: Genetics and Biomarker for Optimized Clinical Decision-making and Improved Outcomes by Dr. Michael Rink

This special issue of Translational Andrology and Urology (TAU), therefore, is focused on “genetics and biomarker in bladder cancer for optimized clinical decision-making and improved outcomes”. As editor, I strove to present a current, state-of-the-art and global perspective of the genetically heterogeneity in UCB as well as different approaches, possibilities and implications of biomarkers in UCB for current and future clinical decision-making, management and research. Established national and international experts as well as rising stars were invited to contribute to this comprising and timely subject of major importance for our daily practice and future clinical trial design.

Focused Issue: Penile Prosthesis and Penile Implants by Dr. Jason R. Kovac

This special edition of Translational Andrology and Urology has been developed with the primary goal of establishing a wide-ranging primer for surgeons who are currently implanting penile prosthetics as well as students and physicians who are looking to get more reliable information and background into current topics.

Focused Issue: Management of Penile Cancer

Penile cancer remains a relatively infrequent malignancy in North America, Europe, and Asia nevertheless it is a devastating disease which portends an adverse prognosis in those presenting with advanced disease. Similarly, the clinical and surgical care remains highly diverse across many parts of the world often applying non-evidence based approaches in their management.

Focused Issue: Sperm DNA Fragmentation by Drs. Ashok Agarwal, Ahmad Majzoub, Sandro C. Esteves and Chak-Lam Cho

Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) has been generally acknowledged as a valuable tool for male fertility evaluation. While its detrimental implications on sperm function were extensively investigated, little is known about the actual indications for performing SDF analysis. SDF testing is recommended in patients with clinical varicocele and borderline to normal semen parameters as it can better select varicocelectomy candidates. High SDF is also linked with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) and can influence outcomes of different assisted reproductive techniques.

A Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) analysis on the clinical utility of sperm DNA fragmentation testing in specific male infertility scenarios

Focused Issue: Technique and Complications from the Masters in Andrologic Surgery edited by Dr. Tobias S Kohler

“Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions”—author unknown. Each article in this special edition features a step-by-step technique description of a surgery in andrology along with the little details and nuances the authors have learned from myriad repetition. Not only will the reader learn from these techniques, but they will learn from a detailed description (or potential avoidance) of the authors’ little or big complications which helped orchestrate their operative flow into its current symphonic form.

Focused Issue: Functional Urology by Dr. Johan Gani and Helen E. O’Connell

We are pleased to introduce this special edition of Translational Andrology and Urology (TAU), with a focus on contemporary topics in Functional Urology. Local (Australia and New Zealand) and international experts have contributed to this issue and we have included original studies as well as comprehensive review papers.

Focused Issue: Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Prostate Cancer by Drs. Marc A. Bjurlin, Andrew B. Rosenkrantz, Herbert Lepor and Samir S. Taneja

MRI offers increasingly reliable visualization of potentially significant prostate cancers, thereby guiding biopsy to allow better sensitivity and negative predictive value. In applying MRI-targeted biopsy, we have learned the significance of MRI findings and evolved pre-biopsy MRI to serve as a means by which to better select patients for biopsy and identify lesions for biopsy. Rather than diagnosing all cancers of the prostate, we have now begun the shift the paradigm to selective identification of only those cancers that may cause harm.

Focused Issue: Global Urology by Drs. Gopal H. Badlani and Sakti Das

This is an attempt to bridge that gap through a focused issue on male health. The war in the middle-East has created a need for reconstruction in the field of urology as the genital trauma was a prominent feature in the wounded warriors. Regenerative medicine competes with transplant to fill this void, as do the Eastern aphrodisiacs with new pharmacological advances for male sexual dysfunction. Testosterone replacement has seen its ups and downs, the current dilemma and its global use are highlighted.
