PCa Commentary

PCa Commentary

The PCa Commentary was commenced in October 2002 as a project to bring to clinicians working the prostate cancer field new information about clinically relevant developments in diagnosis, staging, imaging, and treatment    and place this information into the context of a basic science background. The articles are based on literature research of a variety of sources which the busy clinician may not have the time to peruse. In most instances the text has been reviewed by an expert in the subject under discussion. The goal is to present practice relevant data concisely and accurately.

Large Urology Group Practice Association (LUGPA)

In 2008, when physician leaders of member urology practices began to recognize the need for a formal association to help meet the challenges of the future, the Large Urology Group Practice Association (LUGPA) was established with the purpose of enhancing communication among large groups, allowing for benchmarking of operations, promoting quality clinical outcomes, developing new opportunities, and improving advocacy in the legislative and regulatory arenas. LUGPA has modified its bylaws and now welcomes memberships for all physician colleagues, regardless of size. All urologists may benefit from the growing LUGPA network.
