Rectal spacer relieves GI issues following RT for prostate cancer
In a large retrospective study, the incidence of bowel disorders and related procedures dropped when a polyethylene glycol-based hydrogel spacer (PHS) was used in men undergoing radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer.

LHRH analogues vs tE2 patches: Which work best for prostate cancer?
The use of transdermal oestradiol (tE2) or oestrogen patches helps suppress testosterone and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in men with locally advanced prostate cancer, with similar efficacy to that of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogues, reports a study presented at EAU 2025.

Proteomic analysis identifies DKD progression markers in YT2D
A comprehensive analysis of circulating proteins identifies known and novel proteins associated with the progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in Asians with younger-onset type 2 diabetes (YT2D; T2D onset age <40 years).

Is there a need for invasive urodynamics to manage OAB in women?
