Summary

• I am a board-certified urologist who has devoted my career in medicine to educating the public about men's health issues and finding effective techniques and procedures to address prostate cancer, the most common malignancy affecting men in the United States.
  I am an internationally recognized expert in benign prostate hypertrophy, urologic cancers, and in particular, prostate cancer.
  As a professor in the Department of Urology, I instruct medical students, residents and fellows at UC San Diego School of Medicine. I have conducted research in the treatment of advanced bladder cancer, metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate, hormone refractory prostate cancer, and other areas of urological infections and malignancies. I have authored or coauthored over 810 scientific articles, published seven textbooks, authored over 60 book chapters and provided more than 2,200 educational talks for patients and physicians. I serve as editor in chief of Grand Rounds in Urology since June of 2019.
  In an effort to raise public awareness about prostate health, Ifounded the Prostate Conditions Education Council (PCEC) in 1989. The non-profit organization is comprised of a consortium of leading physicians, health educators, scientists and men's health advocates. PCEC's advocacy for free or low-cost prostate screening has affected the lives of millions of American men. I currently chair the PCEC.
  
  Consistently recognized as one of the Best Doctors of America for the past two decades, I was ranked as one of the top 20 urologists in the country by Men’s Health Magazine. In May of 2019, I received the presidential citation from the American Urological Association in recognition of his “tireless role in genitourinary cancer research that has benefited countless urologic cancer patients
