Item Open Access Expert Panel Recommendations on Lower Urinary Tract Health of Women Across Their Life Span.(J Womens Health (Larchmt), 2016-11) Losada, Liliana; Amundsen, Cindy L; Ashton-Miller, James; Chai, Toby; Close, Clare; Damaser, Margot; DiSanto, Michael; Dmochowski, Roger; Fraser, Matthew O; Kielb, Stephanie J; Kuchel, George; Mueller, Elizabeth R; Parker-Autry, Candace; Wolfe, Alan J; Mallampalli, Monica PUrologic and kidney problems are common in women across their life span and affect their daily life, including physical activity, sexual relations, social life, and future health. Urological health in women is still understudied and the underlying mechanisms of female urological dysfunctions are not fully understood. The Society for Women's Health Research (SWHR(®)) recognized the need to have a roundtable discussion where researchers and clinicians would define the current state of knowledge, gaps, and recommendations for future research directions to transform women's urological health. This report summarizes the discussions, which focused on epidemiology, clinical presentation, basic science, prevention strategies, and efficacy of current therapies. Experts around the table agreed on a set of research, education, and policy recommendations that have the potential to dramatically increase awareness and improve women's urological health at all stages of life.Item Open Access The National Physicians Cooperative: transforming fertility management in the cancer setting and beyond.(Future oncology (London, England), 2018-12) Smith, Brigid M; Duncan, Francesca E; Ataman, Lauren; Smith, Kristin; Quinn, Gwendolyn P; Chang, R Jeffrey; Finlayson, Courtney; Orwig, Kyle; Valli-Pulaski, Hanna; Moravek, Molly B; Zelinski, Mary B; Irene Su, H; Vitek, Wendy; Smith, James F; Jeruss, Jacqueline S; Gracia, Clarisa; Coutifaris, Christos; Shah, Divya; Nahata, Leena; Gomez-Lobo, Veronica; Appiah, Leslie Coker; Brannigan, Robert E; Gillis, Valerie; Gradishar, William; Javed, Asma; Rhoton-Vlasak, Alice S; Kondapalli, Laxmi A; Neuber, Evelyn; Ginsberg, Jill P; Muller, Charles H; Hirshfeld-Cytron, Jennifer; Kutteh, William H; Lindheim, Steven R; Cherven, Brooke; Meacham, Lillian R; Rao, Pooja; Torno, Lilibeth; Sender, Leonard S; Vadaparampil, Susan T; Skiles, Jodi L; Schafer-Kalkhoff, Tara; Frias, Oliva J; Byrne, Julia; Westphal, Lynn M; Schust, Danny J; Klosky, James L; McCracken, Kate A; Ting, Alison; Khan, Zaraq; Granberg, Candace; Lockart, Barbara; Scoccia, Bert; Laronda, Monica M; Mersereau, Jennifer E; Marsh, Courtney; Pavone, Mary Ellen; Woodruff, Teresa KOnce unimaginable, fertility management is now a nationally established part of cancer care in institutions, from academic centers to community hospitals to private practices. Over the last two decades, advances in medicine and reproductive science have made it possible for men, women and children to be connected with an oncofertility specialist or offered fertility preservation soon after a cancer diagnosis. The Oncofertility Consortium's National Physicians Cooperative is a large-scale effort to engage physicians across disciplines - oncology, urology, obstetrics and gynecology, reproductive endocrinology, and behavioral health - in clinical and research activities to enable significant progress in providing fertility preservation options to children and adults. Here, we review the structure and function of the National Physicians Cooperative and identify next steps.
