Dr. Peter Black Bio

Dr. Black is a surgeon scientist with clinical subspecialty interest in the treatment of urologic cancers, including especially bladder and prostate cancer. He maintains a grant-funded translational research program in urothelial carcinoma with a focus on genomic analysis of response to chemotherapy, mechanisms of resistance to chemotherapy, and novel targeted therapies for bladder cancer. One of his main laboratory projects relates to Notch signaling in bladder cancer. His group was the first to identify Notch2 as an oncogene in bladder cancer, and they are now working to elucidate differential regulation of these oncogenic properties of Notch2 compared to the tumor suppressive properties of Notch1, with the objective of modulate both pathways independently for therapeutic purposes.

Dr. Black is an active clinical trialist in his field and an active member of the genitourinary cancer committee of SWOG. He is study chair of the SWOG S1605 trial testing an immune checkpoint inhibitor in BCG-unresponsive high risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, and is also PI of an investigator-initiated trial testing local administration of immunotherapy in the bladder. Dr. Black is surgical co-chair of the NCI (US) Bladder Cancer Task Force.

Dr. Black has many active collaborations, especially related to prostate imaging and image-guided robotic surgery. He works closely with Purang Abolmaesumi and Tim Salcudean in the UBC Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Piotr Kozlowski in Medical Physics, and Hongshen Ma in Mechanical Engineering. A long-standing collaboration with Decipher Biosciences has led to commercialization of a clinical grade genomic biomarker for muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Dr. Black has served as grant reviewer for multiple international funding agencies including Cancer Research UK, the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), and most of the main Canadian funding organizations.    He is an ad hoc journal reviewer for >30 journals and has received awards for peer review from European Urology (2013 and 2018), Journal of Urology (2010, 2011, 2015) and Canadian Urological Association Journal (2016). He has served as assistant editor for Urologic Oncology and Associate Editor for both World Journal of Urology and European Urology Focus.  In 2019 he became the founding editor-in-chief of the Society Internationale d’Urologie Journal.

Dr. Black has received a number of awards including Best Clinical Paper Published in Literature by the European Association of Urology (2016), the David A. Swanson Distinguished Alumnus Award from MD Anderson Cancer Center (2017) and the Distinguished Achievement Award for Excellence in Clinical or Applied Research by University of British Colombia Faculty of Medicine (2013).   He has served on the Board of Directors of the Société Internationale d'Urologie (2013-2019) and is General Secretary of the International Bladder Cancer Network.

Health Talks:

Sexual preservation for BPH prostate surgery

Urology Practice isa great pleace to start to look into If you’re experiencing symptoms of male incontinence, a local urologist can help. A local urologist can ask about your symptoms and recommend further testing or male incontinence treatment. Urethral inserts like Contino® are temporarily inserted into the urethra (the tube which carries urine to the outside of the body) to prevent or reduce bladder leakage. Damage to the kidneys can lead to swelling in the hands and ankles, high blood pressure, and other symptoms. 

Please contact ( Dr. Peter Black, Urologist Vancouver, BC ) to enquire if this health care provider is accepting new patients. Prostate Cancer NOW is part of the Now Health Network and its focus is on muscular and skeletal  conditions.  In summary, there are many different treatments for prostate cancer.  Identifying the best treatment will depend on your specific situation and your preference after discussion with your doctor. It is not true Asian men have the lowest risk of developing prostate cancer. African men have the highest risk. Often seeing a local urologist in Toronto can help. 

Medications like alpha blockers don't actually treat BPH, they treat the symptoms by relaxing the muscle around the urethra, so thereby reducing some of the resistance.

Sometimes we will add in a second line medication in order to try and shrink the prostate. These medications are called the five alpha reductase inhibitors. So we have Proscar or Avodart These are medications which work by lowering the conversion of testosterone within the prostate. Over a period of 6 to 12 months, this can shrink the prostate by around 20%.
