I am a urologist. I\u2019ve been retired from active practice since 2014. I currently do on-line consults for the M.A.V.E.N. project (https:\/\/www.mavenproject.org<\/a><\/span>, M.A.V.E.N stands for Medical Advice Volunteer Expert Network).<\/p>\n I\u2019ve written 3 books: The first published in 2015 and updated in 2020 is Action Plan: Prostate Cancer, Choosing the right treatment for you. was published in-house by Kaiser Permanente and can be found at kpactionplans.org<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The two books recently completed are A Curious Man\u2019s Guide to Urology: Sex, Stones, Prostate Woes, and More!<\/em> and A Curious Woman\u2019s Guide to Urology: UTIs, Wet Pants, Stones, and More!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n I hope that these books will be of value to any lay person seeking more information about a urologic ailment, whether it be something simple like a kidney cyst or something serious like a cancer of a urologic organ.\u00a0 I also hope that a primary care clinician might find the books helpful in treating counseling their patients, whether or not they refer that patient to a urologist. Finally, the books may help any practicing urologist who doesn\u2019t have nearly enough time to help patients make shared decisions.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”#summary” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”More About Dr. Lieberman” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#005F94″ button_border_width=”0px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ global_colors_info=”{}”] This is a remarkably lucid, beautifully written discussion of all aspects of male urological medical and emotional topics.

I had a special interest in prostate cancer, urologic oncology, stones, and pediatric urology. My CV delineates my publications and video productions. Here is a link to my CV.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n During my career, the diagnosis\/screening for prostate cancer was controversial. It remains controversial.The treatment of prostate cancer has been ever changing and evolving, especially with the addition of the daVinci Robot, which is now extensively used for treatment of localized prostate cancer.<\/p>\n Taking this example further, patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer encounter a multitude of treatment options – active surveillance, multiple types of surgery, multiple types of radiation, cryoablation, HIFU (High-intensity focused ultrasound). If they are unfortunate to have advanced disease there are many options for treatment as well – hormone therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy.<\/p>\n Patients, and even primary care providers (MDs, NPs, PAs) may be confused about urologic problems. This confusion is made worse by the amount of misinformation available on the internet. Plus, I was frequently frustrated by not having enough time to explain diagnostic treatment options to patients so that together we could make informed decisions about their care.<\/p>\n
