The Society for Basic Urologic Research (SBUR) is a society of scientists whose expertise includes the study of urologic cancers (prostate, bladder, kidney, testis, penis), the biology of prostate growth, kidney and bladder function, autoimmune urologic diseases, infectious diseases, neuro-urologic diseases, male reproductive biology, infertility and erectile dysfunction. Members include molecular biologists, immunologists, epidemiologists, oncologists, biochemists and clinical urologic scientists. SBUR members serve on a wide variety of advisory panels, study sections, editorial boards and in the pharmaceutical industry. The SBUR organizes two annual meetings to share new findings at a multidisciplinary level, to promote interaction among members and other interested scientists and to highlight new areas of research and funding opportunities. The Society was organized to address the following: * To provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of basic scientific topics related to urology * To develop educational forums concerning scientific advancements related to the field of urology * To promote collaborative investigations among member scientists with an emphasis on the interchange of expertise among clinical and basic scientists * To promote the communication and interests of urologic disease investigators with national funding agencies, industry representatives and academic institutions with regards to urology related research * To serve as a resource for research information and expertise to clinical urologists through the American Urological Association

Randomized, multicenter, double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial of phytotherapy for benign prostate symptoms among men. The CAMUS trial will test Saw palmetto in about 369 men. Men who decide to be part of the CAMUS trial will be given one out of two possible treatments at random. One out of every two men would get an inactive placebo treatment. One out of every two men would get Saw palmetto pills. This kind of scientific study is the best way to find out if the plant extracts really work to prevent men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) from getting worse. During the study, men will not know which of the two treatments they are assigned to. They will be followed very closely by a study team every 12 weeks to see how they are doing. Men in the CAMUS trial will be studied over 72 weeks. Ten clinical centers will participate in the trial. They are located at: Columbia University, NY, NY; New York University, NY, NY; University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas; University of Colorado, Denver, CO; Washington University, St. Louis, MO; Yale University, New Haven, CT; Queens University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada; Northwestern University, Chicago, IL; University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD; University of California at San Francisco, San Francisco, CA.
