Dr Niranjan Sathianathen, presenting 3 abstracts on LVI in bladder cancer, taxable therapy in mCrPC and biomarkers in prostate biopsies. Smashed it! @AusYURO#SIU2U#SIU2018
A/Prof @JGrummet on MRI, PCa diagnosis and targeting. Avoid Bx and “neo AS” if PSAD <0.1 and experienced MRI radiologist. If PSAD >0.1, risk assess and consider TP biopsy with Ginsburg protocol. #SIU2U#SIU2018@ArveenKalapara
Lack of funding/reimbursement and clinician recognition/knowledge in biomarkers limits its use in Europe. Unsurprising, mpMRI most well known amongst polled clinicians. @Tilki_De#SIU2U#SIU2018
Great graphics and global overview on cancer prevalence and therapeutic improvements in this article. Overall cancer survival rates have moved from 50% end of the 70s to 67% in 2013.

Several biomarkers available, but limited for prediction of treatment response in metastatic disease, in part due to heterogeneity. Promising evidence for CTCs and cfDNA from Prof Jenster #APCC18
Excellent lecture by John Violet on #PSMA theranostics including the recent LuPSMA trial & impressive images of exceptional responders from @DrMHofman#apcc18
Thanks Prof @mfrydenberg for the great talk on PSMA PET/CT and it’s role in BCR and the role of SUVmax in correlation w Grade Group. Complementary PSMA PET and MRI for imaging in recurrence - great argument for PSMA PET/MRI. @JGrummet#prostatecancer#APCC18
Open vs robotic RP debate - n=308 phase 3 RCT in QLD found no difference in oncological outcomes between arms. Lower period complications and blood loss - A/Prof Yaxley #prostatecancer#APCC18
Potential benefits of local treatment in metastatic #prostatecancer -late local complications in more than half of mCRPC patients without prior primary therapy. High complication rate for palliative local therapy at later stage. Also may alter tumor biology -@ChapinMD#apcc18
#ArtificialIntelligence is the future in Urology, #prostatecancer and medicine in general used in identifying abnormalities in histo/imaging, decision making and risk stratification. #APCC18
