Journal club #3 | ERSPC and NIAGARA
Episode 3 of our monthly GU Cast Journal Club and today we focus on one classic paper in Urology, and one from recent times - the ERSPC randomised trial of screening in prostate cancer, and the NIAGARA trial evaluating peri-operative immunotherapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. We are delighted to welcome back our GU Cast Journal Club Editors, Dr Carlos Delgado (Melbourne, AUS), and Dr Elena Berg (Munich, GER), along with main GU Cast Hosts, Renu Eapen and Declan Murphy. Watch out for Declan getting all misty-eyed recalling when the ERSPC was published back in 2009 (the rest of the team are too young to remember this)!
The Sir Chris Hoy Effect | Why family history matters
Legendary British cyclist Sir Chris Hoy (48) recently shocked the world by announcing that he has progressive metastatic prostate cancer. His specialists have given him a 2-4 year life expectancy. The dreadful news that no prostate cancer patient wants to hear. Today, hosts Prof Declan Murphy and Dr Renu Eapen welcome their good mates A/Prof Ben Challacombe (Guy's Hospital, London), and A/Prof Daniel Moon (Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne) to the GU Cast studio, and patient advocate Andrei Norris who joins on Zoom to discuss the huge publicity this has generated, and the importance of family history in assessing men's risk of prostate cancer.
