Controversial then, settled now: I remember when PSMA PET/CT was not recommended - concern of Will Roger's "Stage Migration".
Now, 95% of the international panel agreed that PSMA PET/CT should be the staging tool in high-risk prostate cancer (strong consensus), and 85% would not substitute whole-body MRI for it.
From investigational to unanimous #ProPSMA
The flip side is just as important. Zero of 18 questions on monitoring metastatic disease reached consensus. More evidence is needed.

Congrats to the authors on an important randomized phase 3 trial in a tough, cisplatin-ineligible population 👏
Let’s walk through it 👇
Proud to share the first systematic review on the use of drug-coated balloons for ureteral strictures. After great work by the EAU @Uroweb Endourology Section, it’s finally published in @wjurol
Let’s keep sharing and generating results to strengthen the current evidence.
Very happy to share our new scientific study: Is direct in-scope suction (DISS) the solution for non-prestented and sheathless flexible ureteroscopy? @SpringerNature
Finding a new scenario for #DISS and exploring the best indications for each procedure
A full week of scientific activity: discussing, learning, and sharing fascinating topics in #ENDO
Grateful for the exchange of ideas and the passion for advancing our field!
#OEHA2025 & 40 Jornadas Medicos Residentes @hpcmdp
Thank you @DrAGonzalez21 for the kind invitation
Excited to share our team’s new study on emerging laser technologies⚡️
Clinical outcomes show strong similarities between Ho:YAG Magneto 🧲 and TFL @quanta_system highlighting how innovation continues to refine endourology practice.

Rectal Swab–based Targeted Prophylactic Antibiotics Reduce Infectious Complications After Transrectal Prostate Biopsy
https://t.co/7k4oQUTqNi
In this systematic review and meta-analysis of nine randomized controlled trials including 3,002 patients, the use of targeted prophylactic antibiotics (TPAs) based on rectal swab cultures before transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-PB) was associated with a significant reduction in postbiopsy febrile urinary tract infections compared with empiric antibiotic prophylaxis (2.7% vs 5.2%; risk ratio 0.54, p = 0.003). The number needed to treat to prevent one febrile infection was 40. However, no significant difference was observed in the incidence of sepsis between the two groups.
These findings support incorporating rectal swab–guided antibiotic selection into prebiopsy protocols to reduce infection risk in patients undergoing TRUS-PB, though further research is warranted to clarify its impact on sepsis prevention. #ProstateCancer

Abiraterone 250mg vs. 1000mg? Multiple studies continue to show similar efficacy and ⬇️ cost (though through @costplusdrugs@mcuban, cost has gone ⬇️ significantly…), should the lower dose be the SoC in CRPC and higher dose be used as a back-up?

🔥 PCS-9: SBRT + ENZA Doubles Disease Control in Oligometastatic CRPC @OncoAlert@dr_cury
🎯 Objective
• Evaluate whether adding SBRT to ADT + enzalutamide ⬆️ outcomes in oligometastatic CRPC (≤5 mets)
🏥 Methods
• Ph 2, randomized, 13 Canadian centers.
• 100 men with oligometastatic CRPC
• Arm A: ADT + ENZA;
Arm B: ADT + ENZA + SBRT
• SBRT: 24–60 Gy in 2–8 fractions to all metastatic sites
📊 Results
• Median rPFS: 4.6 vs 2.3 y (HR 0.48; p=0.014)
• Time to next systemic therapy: 5.1 vs 2.9 y
• No grade 4/5 events; toxicity comparable
➡�� SBRT + ENZA marks a paradigm shift in oligometastatic CRPC management
