In overactive bladder (OAB), mortality is not the enemy. Loss of freedom, spontaneity, and dignity are. Dr. Jannah Thompson joins Dr. Suzette Sutherland (@SuzetteESutherl) on how a quality-of-life decision differs from an oncologic one. They discuss the patient’s right to weigh lifestyle and side-effect tolerance, and why what matters to the patient outranks what is wrong with them.

Patients are diagnosed in urology, operated on in urology, and then handed off. Dr. Kristen Scarpato (@Scarps_kristen) and Dr. Jason Hafron (@HafronJason) tell Dr. Ruchika Talwar (@RuchikaTalwarMD) why that tradition is fading as oral agents, new staging, and longstanding relationships keep patients in the same practice from diagnosis to advanced therapy. Along the way, they break down the major treatment buckets and how a patient-centered approach makes the therapy landscape easier to navigate.

Navigated patients returned for follow-up 77% of the time, against 55% for those without navigation and could not be reached. Dr. Jannah Thompson joins Dr. Suzette Sutherland (@SuzetteESutherl) to walk through her published navigation data in overactive bladder (OAB). They discuss what happened to advanced therapy uptake, and why the effect shows up in both patient outcomes and practice economics.
