    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the value/utility of developing an online mentorship program for underrepresented in medicine (URiM) students interested in urology. The Michigan Urology Academy (MUA) was launched in 2020 to increase exposure and provide mentorship to URiM students interested in urology, in an effort to address the continued low numbers of Black and LatinX urologists in the workforce.
    Methods: The 2-day virtual mentorship program was launched in June 2020 and held annually thereafter. Demographic information was collected, and surveys were distributed at 1week and 3months after the events. Surveys assessed participants' perception of the utility and effectiveness of the sessions. Thematic analysis was performed on qualitative data. Fourth-year med students were followed longitudinally to determine urology match results.
    Results: Over the last 3years, MUA hosted 208 students from 104 medical schools. Participants self-identified as 42.3% (n = 88) identified as African American/Black, 14.9% (n = 31) Hispanic/LatinX, 12.98% (n = 27) white, 18.75% (n = 39) as Asian/Indian 7.7% (n = 16) as Middle Eastern/North African, and 0.48% Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (n = 1). Overall, fourth-year MUA participants matched at a higher rate than the national average (80.2% vs 71.4%; P = .0486). Narrative feedback revealed five themes: (1) the importance of community support within urology, (2) the utility of vulnerability and storytelling, (3) the importance of representation of diverse backgrounds, (4) the desire for in-person mentorship opportunities, and (5) the need for transparency in application logistics.
    Conclusion: Mentorship programs such as MUA allow URiM students to have greater exposure to the field of urology and to networking opportunities.

    Abstract Objective: To analyze AUA urology residency program websites to determine visibility of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. There is growing interest in DEI initiatives by urology applicants, and in recent years, urology programs have invested in efforts to promote DEI.
    Methods: All ACGME-accredited urology residency program with a website were assessed. Military programs were excluded. A DEI Score Card was developed using published pillars of DEI, including five domains: departmental inclusion, pipeline growth, departmental education, community engagement, and faculty demographics. Program Doximity rank, address, and surrounding demographics were collected to determine predictors of investing in DEI.
    Results: One hundred forty-one urology residency websites were included for analysis. Only 40.7% of programs referenced DEI on their webpage, and 21.4% offered funded mentorship opportunities. Department education and community engagement were the least popular initiatives. The Western, Northeastern, and North Central sections had the highest DEI total score with wide variation across domains. Mention of DEI was not associated with program's county-level social vulnerability or percent minority but was associated with being a top 50 program (OR=4.0; 95% CI 1.8, 8.9; P = .0007).
    Conclusion: Less than half of academic urology programs' websites referenced DEI initiatives. Using a DEI score card, our study shows that investment in DEI varies widely by AUA section, and greater investment is positively correlated with program rank. Our DEI score card serves as a tool that programs can use to assess their current DEI investment, identify areas for improvement, and ensure existing initiatives are visible to applicants.

    Abstract Context: Dramatic gains in our understanding of the molecular biology of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) have created a foundation for clinical translation to improve patient care.
    Objective: To review and contextualize clinically impactful data surrounding genomic biomarkers in ccRCC.
    Evidence acquisition: A systematic literature search was conducted focusing on genomic-based biomarkers with an emphasis on studies assessing clinical outcomes.
    Evidence synthesis: The advancement of tumor sequencing techniques has led to a rapid increase in the knowledge of the molecular underpinnings of ccRCC and with that the discovery of multiple candidate genomic biomarkers. These include somatic gene mutations such as VHL, PBRM1, SETD2, and BAP1; copy number variations; transcriptomic multigene signatures; and specific immune cell populations. Many of these biomarkers have been assessed for their association with survival and a smaller number as potential predictors of a response to systemic therapy. In this scoping review, we discuss many of these biomarkers in detail. Further studies are needed to continue to refine and validate these molecular tools for risk stratification, with the ultimate goal of improving clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.
    Conclusions: While no tissue or blood-based biomarkers for ccRCC have been incorporated into routine clinical practice to date, the field continues to expand rapidly. There remains a critical need to develop and validate these tools in order to improve the care for patients with kidney cancer.
    Patient summary: Genomic biomarkers have the potential to better predict outcome and select the most appropriate treatment for patients with kidney cancer; however, further research is needed before any of these currently developed biomarkers are adopted into clinical practice.

    Abstract Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 tumour suppressor genes are associated with prostate cancer risk; however, optimal screening protocols for individuals with these mutations have been a subject of debate. Several prospective studies of prostate cancer incidence and screening among BRCA1/2 mutation carriers have indicated at least a twofold to fourfold increase in prostate cancer risk among carriers of BRCA2 mutations compared with the general population. Moreover, BRCA2 mutations are associated with more aggressive, high-grade disease characteristics at diagnosis, more aggressive clinical behaviour and greater prostate cancer-specific mortality. The risk for BRCA1 mutations seems to be attenuated compared with BRCA2. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurement or prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) alone is an imperfect indicator of clinically significant prostate cancer; therefore, BRCA1/2 mutation carriers might benefit from refined risk stratification strategies. However, the long-term impact of prostate cancer screening is unknown, and the optimal management of BRCA1/2 carriers with prostate cancer has not been defined. Whether timely localized therapy can improve overall survival in the screened population is uncertain. Long-term results of prospective studies are awaited to confirm the optimal screening strategies and benefits of prostate cancer screening among BRCA1/2 mutation carriers, and whether these approaches ultimately have a positive impact on survival and quality of life in these patients.

    Abstract Purpose: Modifications to surgical technique, particularly the widespread adoption of robotic surgery, have been proposed to improve functional recovery after prostate cancer surgery. However, rigorous comparison of men in historical vs contemporary practice to evaluate the cumulative effect of these changes on urinary and sexual function after radical prostatectomy is lacking.
    Materials and methods: We compared prospectively collected patient-reported urinary and sexual function from historical (PROSTQA [Prostate Cancer Outcomes and Satisfaction With Treatment Quality Assessment study], n=235) and contemporary (MUSIC-PRO [Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative Patient Reported Outcome] registry, n=1,215) cohorts at the University of Michigan to understand whether modern techniques have resulted in functional improvements for men undergoing prostate cancer surgery.
    Results: We found significant differences in baseline function, with better urinary (median [IQR]; 100 [93.8-100] vs 93.8 [85.5-100],
    Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that the widespread alterations in prostate cancer surgery over the past 2 decades have yielded improvements in sexual, but not urinary, function recovery.
