Urology University departments Medical University of Graz

Research

Research at the Department of Urology covers a wide variety of subspecialties. In recent years, one clear focus has been on uro-oncological research, not least because of rapid advances worldwide in drug therapy for tumors that have metastasized. This applies to cancerous tumors of the prostate, kidney, bladder, penis and testicles.

Focus on the patient

As part of our research activities, we can also enable our patients to participate in international studies with promising and innovative therapeutic approaches.

Research focus

We have established various areas of focus in order to further our research activities. These core topics are currently being researched intensively at our clinic by internationally renowned research groups.

Current research projects

MoonRISe-1 (Rekrutierung abgeschlossen)

Die MoonRISe-1 zielt auf Patient*innen mit intermediärem Risiko bei nicht muskelinvasivem Blasenkarzinom (IR-NMIBC) und positiven FGFR-Status ab. Hier wird ein intravesikales TAR-Device gegen den SOC (MMC) prospektiv und randomisiert getestet.

Wir konnten insgesamt 11 Patient*innen (2x TAR, 9x MMC) einschließen und sind somit das führende Zentrum in Österreich.

VEKTOR

VEKTOR ist eine prospektive, randomisierte, monozentrische Nichtunterlegenheitsstudie, die den direkten Vergleich der operativen Verfahren TUR-P, HoLEP und Rezūm™ zur Behandlung des BPS unternimmt. Ziel ist es, die Wirksamkeit, Sicherheit und Auswirkung auf Lebensqualität, Sexualfunktion und Reoperationsraten dieser drei Verfahren zu vergleichen. Zielgruppe sind alle Patienten mit BPS mit OP-Indikation und einem Prostatavolumen von 30–80 ml.

Kontakt

Urothelkarzinom Patient Journey (PJBCa; Rekrutierung laufend)

PJBCa dient zur systematischen Erfassung des Krankheitsverlaufs bei Patient*innen mit Urothelkarzinom zur Verbesserung von Diagnose und Therapieentscheidung.
