Proud moment and HUGE news from #EAU26: #PRIMARY2 shows PSMA PET/CT can safely halve prostate biopsies in men with equivocal MRI, avoiding biopsy in 49% without missing cancer. uroweb.org/news/scan-that…

Diagnostic Imaging and Treatment Options for Small Renal Masses. @f_secin @ClevelandClinic joins @zklaassen_md @GACancerCenter explains why 80–90% of kidney cancers now found incidentally risk overtreatment. He describes a shift from “diagnose and treat” to “diagnose, discuss, and selectively treat,” with ~90% of his small renal mass patients on active surveillance, guided more by patient age, comorbidities, and life expectancy than by tumor size alone. #WatchNow > bit.ly/3ZaVOlb @SCUColombia

In high-risk biochemically recurrent prostate cancer, enzalutamide plus leuprolide significantly improved overall survival as compared with leuprolide alone. Enzalutamide monotherapy had no significant benefit for survival. Full phase 3 EMBARK trial results and Research Summary: nej.md/4h8QpDc

🚨 Prostate cancer care has changed fast. Here’s the 2025 snapshot.
The new Lancet Seminar lays out how prostate cancer management has transformed across the disease spectrum 🌍🧬
🔍 Early disease
Active surveillance is the default for low-risk tumors, avoiding overtreatment while maintaining excellent outcomes. MRI-first pathways improve detection of clinically significant cancer.
⚖️ Localized to high-risk
Surgery and modern radiotherapy offer equivalent cancer control. Hypofractionation and SBRT shorten treatment without compromising efficacy. High-risk disease needs multimodality care.
🚀 Metastatic hormone-sensitive
ADT alone is no longer enough. Doublet or triplet therapy with ARPIs ± docetaxel is now standard, with prostate RT benefiting low-volume disease.
🎯 mCRPC era
Treatment is biology-driven: PARP inhibitors for HRR alterations, Lu-177 PSMA radioligand therapy after ARPI and taxanes, cabazitaxel preferred over ARPI sequencing.
🧠 Big takeaway
Sequencing, patient selection, toxicity, and shared decision-making matter as much as drug choice.
📖 Valérie Fonteyne et al. Lancet 2025
A must-read, practice-defining review for every GU oncologist 🔖

❄️Breaking the ice with Big Data in prostate cancer research!
Our latest study from the PIONEER+ Big Data Investigation Group, just published in European Urology Open Science, analyzed nearly 70,000 men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) across Europe and North America.
🔎 Highlights:
•Most common comorbidities: hypertension (up to 71%), obesity (46%), and diabetes (32%).
•Older patients (70–79 yrs): more often received ADT monotherapy or ADT + ARPI.
•Younger patients (60–69 yrs): more often treated with ADT + chemotherapy or triplet therapy.
•From 2016–2020: steady rise in ADT + ARPI use, decline in ADT + chemotherapy, while ADT monotherapy remained stable.
👉 Key message: Age and comorbidities are major drivers of treatment choice, and real-world evidence is essential to guide equitable, evidence-based care.
🌍 Once again, PIONEER keeps breaking the ice in the way we do research.
