    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 KEYNOT-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.

    Public awareness of urinary tract infections and the fight against antimicrobial resistance

    In this episode on “Public awareness of urinary tract infections and the fight against antimicrobial resistance”, Assoc. Prof. Z. Tandoğdu (TR) is joined by Prof. G. Bonkat (CH) and Mrs. J.M. Meijlink (NL) to address one of today’s most pressing global health challenges. UTIs are among the most common bacterial infections worldwide, yet they are often wrongly perceived as minor conditions. This misconception can lead to overuse or misuse of antibiotics, fuelling the rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance. Prof. Bonkat shares insights from the EAU Guidelines on how responsible prescribing and clinical practice can help prevent unnecessary antibiotic use. Mrs. Meijlink shares the patient perspective, stressing the importance of accurate information and clear communication between doctors and patients. Together, the speakers explore how awareness campaigns, education, and collaboration across healthcare and patient communities are essential to reducing the burden of UTIs. They emphasise that antimicrobial resistance already causes millions of deaths each year and requires urgent, coordinated action. The discussion highlights practical steps for clinicians and patients alike, while reminding listeners that sustainable management of UTIs depends on both medical expertise and active public involvement. Acknowledgment This activity is supported by an educational grant from our industry partner - GSK, with no involvement in the programme or speaker selection.
