Journal Club | Intermittent hormonal therapy and open vs robot cystectomy
Two fantastic topics on the GU Cast Journal Club today. The classic SWOG study of continuous vs intermittent hormonal therapy (NEJM 2013), and the RCT of open vs robotic radical cystectomy (JAMA 2022). Everything you need to bluff your way on these classic papers in a bite-sized podcast, led by our GU Cast Journal Club Editors, Elena Berg and Gaetan Devos, with our usual GU Cast Hosts Renu Eapen and Declan Murphy
Journal Club | Randomised surgical trials that did not change practice!
Open vs partial nephrectomy, and open vs robotic prostatectomy - two large randomised trials that did not change surgical practice! Just as important to examine these in GU Cast Journal Club as to examine pivotal trials that did change practice. Today we discuss the EORTC Today we discuss the EORTC 30904 RCT looking at kidney cancer surgery (Eur Urol 2011), and the Brisbane randomised trial of open vs robotic prostatectomy conducted (Lancet 2016).
What does a randomised trial tell us about prostate biopsy?
A much anticipated trial comparing transrectal vs transperineal biopsy has just been published in European Urology. Big discussion on GU Cast!
