1A 54-year-old man presents for a routine urological evaluation. His serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is 5.8 ng/mL, and digital rectal examination (DRE / toque retal) reveals a benign, smooth, non-nodular prostate. Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) calculates a total prostate volume of 32 mL. When assessing the patient's risk of harboring clinically significant prostate cancer to determine the need for multiparametric MRI or prostate biopsy, what is the widely accepted cutoff for Prostate-Specific Antigen Density (PSAD)?
2According to the Prostate Imaging–Reporting and Data System version 2.1 (PI-RADS v2.1) guidelines for multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) of the prostate, which imaging sequences serve as the primary determining sequence (dominant sequence) for evaluating lesions located in the Peripheral Zone (PZ) and Transition Zone (TZ), respectively?
3A 62-year-old man undergoes transperineal targeted prostate biopsy for a PI-RADS 4 lesion. Histopathology reveals adenocarcinoma with predominantly well-formed glands (Gleason pattern 3, 60%) alongside poorly formed/fused cribriform glands (Gleason pattern 4, 40%). According to the 2014/2019 International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) consensus, what is the corresponding ISUP Grade Group, and what is the clinical significance of the cribriform architectural pattern?
4According to the D'Amico and European Association of Urology (EAU) risk stratification systems for localized prostate cancer, which of the following combinations of clinical parameters defines the Low-Risk category?
5A 58-year-old asymptomatic man with a life expectancy >15 years is diagnosed with localized prostate cancer following an elevated PSA of 4.6 ng/mL. A 12-core systematic biopsy reveals ISUP Grade Group 1 (Gleason 3+3=6) adenocarcinoma in 1 core (involving 15% of the core). Pre-biopsy mpMRI showed a 7 mm PI-RADS 3 lesion in the left peripheral zone, and DRE is normal (cT1c). According to major consensus guidelines (such as PRIAS and SBU guidelines), what is the most appropriate initial management strategy?
6During robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for localized prostate cancer, a surgeon plans a nerve-sparing dissection to preserve erectile function. What anatomical fascial plane corresponds to an intrafascial dissection relative to the prostatic capsule and the prostatic fascia (periprostatic fascia)?
7According to international (EAU) and Brazilian (SBU) guidelines, which anatomical lymph node stations must be resected to constitute an anatomically complete Extended Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection (ePLND) during radical prostatectomy, and what is the validated nomogram probability threshold (e.g., Briganti 2019) that triggers this procedure?
8A 69-year-old man is diagnosed with high-risk localized prostate cancer (PSA 28 ng/mL, ISUP Grade Group 4 / Gleason 4+4=8, cT2c, negative conventional bone scan and CT). He elects definitive radiation therapy. According to randomized clinical trials and SBU/EAU guidelines, what is the standard recommended duration of concurrent and adjuvant Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) in combination with External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT)?
9What is the consensus definition of Biochemical Recurrence (BCR) following Radical Prostatectomy versus following definitive External Beam Radiotherapy (Phoenix criteria), respectively?
10A 64-year-old man who underwent radical prostatectomy 18 months ago (pT3aN0R1, ISUP Grade Group 3) presents with a confirmed rising PSA from undetectable to 0.28 ng/mL. Restaging 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT shows no evidence of distant metastasis or regional lymphadenopathy. When planning salvage radiotherapy (sRT) to the prostatic fossa, what does high-level clinical trial evidence (e.g., SPPORT, GETUG-AFU 16) demonstrate regarding timing and the addition of androgen deprivation therapy?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the TiSBU and why is it essential for urologists in Brazil?
The Título de Especialista em Urologia (TiSBU) is the official medical specialist certification awarded by the Sociedade Brasileira de Urologia (SBU) and the Associação Médica Brasileira (AMB). Passing the TiSBU examination allows physicians to register their specialized qualification (Registro de Qualificação de Especialista - RQE) in Urology with the Regional Medical Councils (CRMs) and Federal Council of Medicine (CFM), which is legally required to practice and advertise formally as a urologist throughout Brazil.
What are the eligibility pathways to sit for the TiSBU examination?
Candidates must be fully licensed physicians with active registration in a Regional Medical Council (CRM) and fulfill one of the official pathways: (1) Completion of an accredited Medical Residency Program (CNRM/MEC) in Urology; (2) Completion of an SBU-accredited Urology Training Program (Programa de Treinamento em Urologia credenciado pela SBU); or (3) Proven clinical and surgical practice in Urology for at least double the duration of official residency (6 years), accompanied by documented institutional surgical logs and curricular evaluation as stipulated in the annual SBU/AMB notice (Edital).
What is the difference between the TiSBU and the Pró-TiSBU?
The TiSBU is the comprehensive unified board examination taken after concluding urology residency or training. The Pró-TiSBU is a serialized annual evaluation process administered during the three years of residency (R1, R2, R3). Residents who achieve qualifying cumulative scores across all three annual Pró-TiSBU stages and fulfill all institutional requirements can directly attain the specialist title upon residency completion.
How is the unified TiSBU examination structured across its stages?
The unified exam is conducted by the Comissão de Seleção e Título de Especialista (CSTE) and traditionally comprises: (1) Phase 1 — Prova Teórica (Objective Theoretical Exam), containing multiple-choice questions covering all urological subspecialties and clinical guidelines; (2) Phase 2 — Prova Teórico-Prática (Theoretical-Practical Exam), presenting clinical case vignettes, imaging studies (CT, MRI, ultrasound, urodynamic graphs), and surgical dilemmas; and (3) Phase 3 — Practical assessment and Curricular Analysis (Análise Curricular).
Which clinical guidelines and textbooks form the core bibliographic reference for the TiSBU?
The examination is based on the official Diretrizes da Sociedade Brasileira de Urologia (SBU), the latest edition of Campbell-Walsh-Wein Urology, and updated international guidelines from the European Association of Urology (EAU) and American Urological Association (AUA). Key topics include modern oncology staging (PI-RADS v2.1, Bosniak 2019, ISUP Grade Groups), endourological instrumentation, urodynamics, WHO 2021 semen parameters, and AAST trauma classifications.
