Reviewer of the Month (2022)

In 2022, TAU reviewers continue to make outstanding contributions to the peer review process. They demonstrated professional effort and enthusiasm in their reviews and provided comments that genuinely help the authors to enhance their work.

Hereby, we would like to highlight some of our outstanding reviewers, with a brief interview of their thoughts and insights as a reviewer. Allow us to express our heartfelt gratitude for their tremendous effort and valuable contributions to the scientific process.

Translational Andrology and Urology (TAU) is now a member of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)

Starting from July 2021, AME Publishing Company is formally recognized a publisher member of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and over 60 AME-published journals become a member of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), as part of AME’s commitment to best practice in scholarly publishing. Translational Andrology and Urology (TAU) is among the list of COPE membership.

TAU Annual Report 2021

We are glad to present the 2021 Annual Report of TAU here. Celebrating its new increased impact factor of 3.15, TAU continues to publish cutting-edge research covering the whole spectrum of andrology and urology.

Surgical Management of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Men (ongoing)

This special series will focus on Surgical Management of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Men, which we hope will also be beneficial to the growth of young surgeons and researchers.

Expectant Management in Genitourinary Malignancies (Prostate, Bladder, Kidney)

Better health awareness, access to healthcare and an improvement in diagnostic tests has led to a significant increase in the early detection and diagnosis of localised urological cancers. Expectant management or active surveillance (AS) is used in localised urological cancers and defined as the initial monitoring of tumour size and or grade, with delayed intervention only in tumours demonstrating clinical progression.

Management of Advanced Genitourinary Malignancies

There have been significant advances in the management of patients with advanced genitourinary malignancies in the last decade. These advances mostly affect prostate cancer, bladder cancer and renal cell carcinoma. For these patients, survival could be significantly improved by the introduction of new drugs including androgen-pathway targeting drugs for prostate cancer, immunotherapy and other targeted drugs (such as FGFR inhibitors and antibody drug conjugates) for urothelial carcinoma and immunotherapy combinations for renal cell carcinoma.

New Impact Factor for Translational Andrology and Urology: 3.15

We are pleased to announce that the Translational Andrology and Urology (TAU) has attained its latest impact factor update for the 2020 citation year: 3.15.

Here, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our Editorial Team Members, Guest Editors, authors, and reviewers for their valuable contributions.

Current and Future Topics on Prostate Cancer

Reviews on novel hormonal agents and strategies for sequencing of various therapies seek to provide a good understanding of this dynamic area of research in prostate cancer. We have enjoyed editing this series and have ourselves learned a lot from the excellent articles. We hope you will likewise find them helpful in furthering your understanding of prostate cancer and for your clinical practice.

Urinary Biomarkers of Urothelial Malignancies

Given our increasingly aging society, the number of patients with malignant urogenital diseases (e.g., prostate cancer, urothelial cancer, renal cell carcinoma) is increasing. Meanwhile, overdiagnosis and overtreatment are also problems, especially given the morbidities of many of the treatments available such as radical prostatectomy or radical cystectomy.

Genetic Causes and Management of Male Infertility

This focused series of Translational Andrology and Urology explores our current understanding of the genetic causes and management of male infertility. Beginning with reviews of the basic genetic etiologies and relevant tests, this series then delves into well-known causes of male infertility including Y chromosome copy number variations, Y chromosome microdeletions, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations, and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. A novel review collates the available literature on nutrigenomics, detailing the interplay between diet, genetic makeup, and fecundity.

Controversies in Minimally Invasive Urologic Oncology

Over the past three decades, rapid development and application of minimally invasive surgical techniques has fundamentally altered the way urologists care for patients with urologic malignancies. The short-term gains of decreased blood loss, improved convalescence, and improved cosmesis have resulted in the rapid adoption of laparoscopy and robotics, and as a result the vast majority of prostate and kidney surgeries are now performed using the robotic platform in the absence of true long-term outcome improvement or cost benefits.

Update on Molecular Classification and Individualized Treatments of Genitourinary Tumors

This digital-based approach to histological diagnosis, also called DP, is a new approach in the morphologic analyses of glass slides either with tissue sections obtained from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue (FFPE) or with frozen sections.
