AUS=artificial urinary sphincter

PCA=prostate cancer

It's pretty difficult to go into this new scientific field.

In my link are some acronyms, which will help you understand the prostate cancer world better. I used some in my post.

cancerresearchuk.org/about-...

And here you can find studies by putting in terms, in which you are interested in. In studies you find usually the full written-out phrasing and then the abbreviation, which they later on use instead of long words. I usually had to look back in the beginning, because I didn't remember all these AAT, DT, and so on.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/

If you want to understand, you have to google a lot. Of course I and you will not understand all the terms of the studies, but the conclusions at the end are usually understandable.
