Journal club #7 | proPSMA and Penile Fractures(!)

Democracy in action! This month's GU Cast Journal Club papers were chosen by an audience vote at our GU Cast Live Event at EAU in London. Therefore today we focus on first, the landmark proPSMA paper which established the superior accuracy of PSMA PET/CT for staging unfavourable intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer (Lancet 2020). Then for something completely different, we dig out a paper called "Penile fractures - the merry price of Christmas", published in BJUI 2020. Thanks very much to our live audience for this one!
