    History Office: Ongoing discoveries from the life of Joaquín Albarrán (1860-1912)

    Editor at the EAU Central Office and historian Mr. Loek Keizer speaks to urologist Prof. Javier Angulo Cuesta, one of the foremost authorities on Joaquín Albarrán (1860-1912) about Albarrán’s storied life and ongoing research into this very interesting period in early urology. After a brief overview of Albarrán’s remarkable and legendary career, which took him from Cuba to Paris via Spain, Prof. Cuesta shares some new insights that recently came to light. Recently unearthed poems by Albarrán’s hand give a more complete picture of the famous urologist, as an orphaned son, and a man who moved in political and artistic expat circles in Europe. The episode offers a fascinating look at the physician, scientist and man behind one of the most influential names in the history of urology.

    PEACE 2 results: Evaluating pelvic RT for very high-risk PCa

    In this episode, UROONCO PCa associate editor Dr. Jennifer Le Guévelou speaks with radiation oncologist Prof. Pierre Blanchard on the results of the PEACE 2 phase III randomised trial investigating prophylactic pelvic radiotherapy (RT) targeting pelvic nodal micrometastases and/or cabazitaxel may both reduce the risk of relapse and improve outcomes in patients with very high-risk localised prostate cancer. They discuss the design of the PEACE 2 trial, and its key findings, which showed that whole-pelvic radiotherapy yielded only a minimal trend towards improving clinical progression-free survival, with no significant impact on secondary endpoints, including metastasis-free survival and overall survival.  For more updates on prostate cancer, please visit our educational platform UROONCO PCa.

    PROTEUS trial and high risk PCa: Prof. Taplin discusses the results with Dr. Marra

    In this episode, UROONCO PCa chief editor Dr. Giancarlo Marra interviews Prof. Mary-Ellen Taplin from Dana–Farber Cancer Institute in the United States, on the results of the PROTEUS trial.  The PROTEUS trial is a phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the benefit of adding apalutamide to standard androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in men with high-risk, localised prostate cancer undergoing radical prostatectomy. They discuss the rationale, patient selection and the results of this trial (dual primary endpoint), as well as the impact of the results on clinical practice. Prof. Taplin concludes in the take-home messages that this trial has illustrated the progress being made in regard to preventing and delaying relapse.
