The Urology Center of Westchester (UCW)[1] is a community-based practice of academic and specialist urologists affiliated with Westchester Medical Center, the major teaching hospital in the Hudson Valley region of lower New York State, USA. UCW was incorporated in 1988 and consists of specialists in urology, the surgical and medical field dealing with the genito-urinary system. Services provided include: robotics,[2] stone disease and management, treatments for cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidney, and testis, incontinence disorders, erectile dysfunction and urinary problems in men and women. UCW is located at 19 Bradhurst Avenue, Hawthorne, NY which is also home to cancer specialists, radiology, cardiology, internal medicine, orthopedics, and pediatrics. The building also contains a pharmacy and restaurant. The Bradhurst location is also the site of the Hudson Valley Lithotripsy Center[3] where extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is performed, a method of breaking up urinary stones with sound waves.[4] UCW physician researchers conduct studies in clinical and basic scienceClinical projects include Prostate Specific Antigen volatility or PVI, a method that looks at the variability of PSA levels to determine a person's risk of prostate cancer.[5] The formula for PVI is PVI=[(standard error of PSA values)/(exp^slope of PSA curve)]. Other projects include the usefulness of chromosome analysis in bladder cancer[6] and the cost-effectiveness of specialized CT scans for urologic problems. Basic science projects include studies of fibroblast-growth factor III (FGFR-III), an important tyrosine kinase, and using anti-FGFR-III drugs to prevent the growth of bladder cancers.
