Targeted prostate biopsy may overestimate ISUP GG when compared to systematic biopsy, but this mainly occurs in smaller lesions. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Thanks for inviting me to the outstanding #apcc24 in my old fellowship city #Melbourne! @phildundee @MarcDiocera @DrBenTran @DrDanielMoon @uroweb @EAU_YAUProstate @IMRASurgical
To consider when applying one-size-fits-all upfront combination therapy in M+HSPC:
- Undertreated trial control arms
- Mismatch age in real-life and trials
- Increase CV toxicity
Postpone intensification of therapy until CRPC?
@AlexSherryMD @LauraBukavinaMD @UroTaji
🚧 Adding ARSI to ADT for M+ PCa gives additional risk CV-events. For which patients does the benefit of upfront combination Tx tip over to a risk and sequenced initiation at CRPC may be preferable? @BertrandTOMBAL @Silke_Gillessen @NivenMehra @dr_rajwa @DrBenTran @Ecastromarcos
Is the effect of upfront combination therapy in M+HSPC also partly due to differences in post-progression therapy? In many trials the SOC arm remains undertreated (or it is not reported). @KariTikkinen @Silke_Gillessen @LambAlastair @amerseburger

Great to be back in 🇯🇵 for @JUA2024 and re-unite with my 2018 JUA-EAU exchange program friend @igortsaur together with current representatives @JLVasquez82 @Filip73887202 Thanks for the honorable invite @NiigataUrology!
RCT 'PSMA-Select' 🇳🇱:
- Nomogram-based PLND
vs
- PSMA-based PLND (no PLND in PSMA neg, PLND in PSMA pos)
444 patients randomized!

Improved ratio of GG1 versus GG>2 is presented in modern screening algorithms applying MRI. Still we should remain careful this may (partly) be due to stage shift caused by targeted biopsy cores. #EAU24 @SigridCarlsson @veerukasi @VickersBiostats
RCT of TP prostate biopsy without antibiotics vs TR biopsy with targeted AB:
- Low overall infection rates.
- Higher for TR (0% vs 1.4%).
- Worse short-term (7 days) pain for TP (0.6 points on 0-10 scale).
- Comparable cancer detection rates.

Since #prostatecancer is of significant interest to our audience, and since the majority of our customers have trouble deciphering medical terminology, I took the liberty of breaking it down in a blog post. Here's the link: xialla.com/blogs/knowledge-c…. I hope it's helpful to someone.
Great comment by Perry Wilson @Medscape on cancer screening. The impact depends on the perspective. medscape.com/viewarticle/995… @Uroweb @EAU_YAUProstate @heinvanpoppel

If patient has higher grade on MRI vs systematic biopsy, we use MRI as "true" grade, determining treatment accordingly. But even assuming MRI perfectly agrees with surgical pathology, risk is intermediate between MRI & systematic. acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Prostate cancer does not receive the policy attention it deserves. Please share this short testimonial for the PRAISE-U project and encourage others to participate in this important initiative. Let’s add Prostate Cancer to the table on men’s health policy.
