    Journal club: Creating the EAU Guidelines on Urolithiasis

    In this Journal Club edition of the EAU Podcast, moderator Prof. Thomas Tailly (BE) leads an in-depth conversation with guideline panel members Prof. Andreas Skolarikos (GR), Ass. Prof. Christopher Netsch (DE) and Prof. Otas Durutovic (RS), exploring how the EAU Guidelines on Urolithiasis are actually created, reviewed, and updated each year. The speakers walk listeners through the methodology and workflow behind the guideline development process. They outline how the panel evaluates new evidence, conducts structured literature reviews, grades recommendations, and balances scientific rigour with clinical applicability. The discussion also highlights the timing and workload surrounding annual updates, the collaboration between full and associate panel members, and the importance of transparency when translating evolving evidence into practical recommendations. Drawing on their personal experiences, the panel reflects on the challenges of harmonising diverse viewpoints, maintaining consistency across chapters, and adapting to rapidly expanding scientific data in stone disease. They also comment on how the guideline process has matured over time, emphasising quality control, internal peer review, and collective decision-making. With clear explanations and candid insights “from inside the panel room”, this episode provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at how one of the most widely used urological guidelines is developed - and what it takes to keep it current, balanced, and clinically meaningful.

    ASCO GU26 special: Prof. Galsky on results of the KEYNOTE-B15 study

    In this episode, UROONCO BCa chief editor Dr Benjamin Pradere (France) sits down with Matthew Galsky, Professor of Medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (New York, USA), to discuss the newly published results of the KEYNOTE-B15 trial. This marks a truly pivotal moment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The presentation of KEYNOTE-B15 represents one of the most practice-changing advances in localised MIBC management in recent years, opening a new era of peri-operative systemic therapy and renewed hope for our patients. KEYNOTE-B15 is a randomised phase III trial evaluating peri-operative enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab in cisplatin-eligible patients with MIBC. In this in-depth discussion, Prof. Galsky walks us through the scientific rationale behind the study, the key efficacy and safety results, and crucially, how these data are likely to reshape clinical practice, not only in the immediate future but for years to come. A must-listen conversation for urologists and multidisciplinary teams involved in the care of bladder cancer patients. The KEYNOTE-B15 study will be also presented and discussed at upcoming EAU26 on Saturday 14th March in the Game Changer Session. Don't miss the chance to hear more on this important study and mark your agenda!  This interview was recorded at ASCO GU26.

    Journal club: The use of antibiotic prophylaxis for ESWL treatment of urolithiasis (APPEAL trial)

    In this Journal Club edition of the EAU Podcast, Prof. Thomas Tailly leads a focused discussion on the recently completed APPEAL trial, a multicentre randomised controlled study evaluating whether routine antibiotic prophylaxis is necessary for patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The distinguished panel - Prof. Kari Tikkinen, Prof. Zafer Tandogdu, Dr. Daron Smith, and Dr. Guido Kamphuis - explores the study’s design, recruitment challenges, outcome measures and the rationale behind examining antibiotic use in a procedure historically considered low-risk for infection. They discuss variations in practice across centres, the balance between preventing rare infectious complications and avoiding unnecessary antibiotic exposure, and how the trial contributes valuable evidence in an area with limited high-quality data. Throughout the episode, the panel reflects on how these findings align with current EAU recommendations and considers how the APPEAL trial can support future refinements in guideline statements. With a mix of expert insight, clinical reasoning and constructive debate, this episode offers listeners a clear understanding of the trial’s significance and its potential impact on everyday urological practice.
