Water Vapor Therapy for the Management of Prostate Cancer: The VAPOR 2 Study Initial Results of Ablative Efficacy and Toxicity
Jun 10, 2026
The VAPOR 2 study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of water vapor therapy for ablating prostate tissue in men with intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer. Initial results from 110 participants indicated that 75% had benign tissue on follow-up biopsy, with a significant reduction in PSA levels and prostate volume, while adverse events were generally mild and resolved without complications. These findings suggest that water vapor therapy may be an effective treatment option with low procedural morbidity for this patient population.
Comparative Analysis of Ureteral Reimplantation and Dextranomer/Hyaluronic Acid Injection Between Two Centers with Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
May 26, 2026
The authors aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid (Dx/HA) injection versus ureteral reimplantation in treating pediatric vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) to reduce febrile urinary tract infections (fUTIs) while minimizing perioperative morbidity. Their findings indicated that while ureteral reimplantation had a lower likelihood of reoperation and postoperative UTIs, Dx/HA offered significant advantages in terms of shorter operative time and hospital stay. These results suggest the need for individualized surgical decision-making based on the specific risks and benefits associated with each procedure.
