  • Basically, an advertising platform for pharmaceutical companies

    Disbalanced presentation of pharmaceutical data. Guests can claim anything without critics by the creators. Seems commentators don‘t know anything about the presented trials. Best example Freedland claiming Enza Mono is better tolerated than ADT. Poor performance of Declan Murphy and Renu Eapen. Did you look at the data?

  • Patting the shark

    As a pharma industry colleague we claim to be patient focussed, but do we really know how the patients on our treatments are feeling and thinking? Unless you have walked in someone else’s shoes, you really don’t know. I thought this podcast was excellent! I loved the acronym MEDS, so important for people living with a range of cancers. Thank you Tim Baker for sharing your story. I’m going to buy the book!

  • Great podcast to help keep up to date

    Really enjoy GU casts! Recommended by my consultant and now listen regularly on my commutes. Really up to date with interesting topics. Informal format that makes sometimes complex discussion easier to follow. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in urology

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#ERUS26 Live Robotic Surgery Spectacular from Padua
Q: What made this ERUS edition stand out in terms of live surgery and technology demonstrations?
The episode highlights a record number of registrations, multiple tele-surgeries, and the introduction of several platforms and tools, including tele-surgery setups, new robots, and the Rubik competition, all showcased in a highly visual, hands-on format that emphasized learning from complication sessions.
Widespread welcome for new Aussie prostate cancer guidelines
Q: Why was the age threshold adjusted to 45 for high-risk groups?
There was robust discussion balancing patient desires for earlier detection with the evidence; a compromise at 45 for high-risk groups aimed to increase early detection without overburdening services, with plans for two-year review of PSA-related recommendations.
Widespread welcome for new Aussie prostate cancer guidelines
Q: How has MRI affected the approach to biopsy and cancer detection?
MRI has reduced unnecessary biopsies by stratifying lesions; many PIRADS 1-2 lesions may not require biopsy, PIRADS 3 with low PSA density may also avoid biopsy, and overall MRI-driven pathways reduce overtreatment.
Widespread welcome for new Aussie prostate cancer guidelines
Q: What is the most important change for general practitioners in the new guidelines?
The most important change is that GPs are encouraged to initiate conversations about PSA testing rather than waiting for patients to ask, enabling earlier risk discussion and decision-making.
Advanced prostate cancer in a large urology group practice
Q: How has the SUO fellowship trend evolved, and what role do you think it should play in training for GU cancer management?
Fellowships remain valuable for dedicated cancer training, but the program should broaden to prepare physicians for comprehensive GU cancer care, including office management, imaging, and systemic therapy, not just surgical expertise.
