The FDA approval of EV + Pembro in cisplatin ineligible muscle invasive bladder is based on pCR=57% & OS HR of 0.5 vs cystectomy alone. Initial systemic therapy rather than surgery is now preferable for all eligible pts. I suspect this is not the last we hear from EVP in MIBC.

📉 Transperineal prostate biopsy has a <1% infection risk, significantly lower than transrectal. New evidence suggests antibiotic prophylaxis may not be needed in many transperineal cases. A step forward for antimicrobial stewardship. #EAUGuidelines #ProstateCancer #UroUTI
