TAU Annual Report (2018)

We are glad to present the 2018 Annual Report of TAU here. There were 237 articles published in TAU. The total citation of TAU has increased from 971 to 2186 in the past 2018 and the total retrieval of the journal in PubMed has also increased significantly. In Dec. 2018, TAU was indexed by SCIE, which was a big step for us. More information is shown in the Annual Report.

Focused Issue: Detection of Lymph Node Metastases in Genitourinary Cancers edited by Dr. Baris Turkbey

This issue of Translational Andrology and Urology (TAU) is devoted to “Detection of Lymph Node Metastases in Genitourinary Cancers”, which is an evolving topic due to continuous high-level research in the field specifically in imaging and imaging guided surgery/intervention. In this issue, many experts shared their clinical and research experiences through high quality review articles on a diverse group of genitourinary cancers and they present a wide variety of lymph node detection techniques including conventional imaging, sentinel node imaging, novel positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. As the guest editor of TAU, I aimed to include the most up-to date information on the topic.

Translational Andrology and Urology is indexed in SCIE: A milestone for the development of TAU

On December 12, 2018, we received the good news from Clarivate Analytics (former Thomson Reuters Intellectual Property and Science Business) that Translational Andrology and Urology (TAU) has been indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and articles published since 2016 will all be included.

Welcome to the Visualized Minimally Invasive Urological Surgery Column, a section featured by high-quality surgical videos!

With the rapid development in the science technology as well as advancement in surgical technique, there’s an increasing attention to and demand of Visualized Surgery from our readers for in-depth and practical minimally invasive surgical technique learning. To fit for this trend, and more importantly, for the instructional and educational purpose of learning and improving surgical technique and skill for all urological surgeons around the world, the Translational Andrology and Urology.

Focused Issue: Personalized Prostate Cancer Care edited by Drs. Soroush Rais-Bahrami and Jennifer B. Gordetsky

Across the field of oncology, but particularly in relation to prostate cancer, the treatment landscape has shifted toward personalized medicine in the era of improved imaging, molecular techniques, and genomics. These advances have in turn allowed for more individualized characterization of cancer processes and improved risk stratification. A personalized approach to cancer detection and characterization enables us to provide our patients with optimal treatments and improved clinical outcomes. As guest editors of this issue of Translational Andrology and Urology (TAU), we set forth to present a variety of poignant topics addressing the personalized approach to prostate cancer detection, risk stratification, and management. Herein, we present investigations that are on the frontier of prostate cancer care, realms where we expect further research growth and development in the coming years.

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.

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.

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.
