📣 We’ve successfully randomised 1,645 patients to IP7-PACIFIC! RCT1️⃣ bpMRI vs mpMRI RCT2️⃣ image-fusion vs visual estimation targeting Top recruiters in October 🏆 1st – Imperial 🥈 Joint 2nd – Cumberland & St Peter’s Top total recruiters 🏆 Imperial - 346 🥈 Southend - 338
The protocol paper for the #IP7PACIFIC RCT is now available online! This trial led by our group and funded by @CR_UK will provide definitive evidence for "fast" biparametric MRI and image-fusion biopsy using a novel trial design 🚨 @NikhilMayor

The medium term effectiveness of MRI-directed dx pathway in 📈 GG≥2, 📉 GG1 and 🛑 redundant biopsies. PSAD-based PSA threshold for re-referral (20%+ from initial PSA if baseline PSAD >0.12, or PSA when their PSAD reaches 0.12) is safe. 👨🏫@LondonProstate1 @TaimurShah

The magnetic resonance imaging–directed RAPID pathway is safe up to 5 yr of follow-up, with no metastases or cancer deaths. Fewer than one in 13 men developed grade group ≥2 prostate cancer, and only...

Missed out on #BAUS25? Fear not...we have produce a series of infographics summarising each sub-specialty and key topics / discussion points across the three-day conference. Next up, we take a look at the sections of #Oncology, #FunctionalReconstuctiveUrology and #SASandTrust

Influence of a surgeon’s exposure to operating room turnover delays on patient outcomes ➡️ https://t.co/ancE0eN5yH In this prospective study, a 3.3% (95% c.i. 0.6% to 5.6%) increase in the rate of major adverse events was observed when a surgeon experienced a delay in operating

Nice. Looks like better overall accuracy for TARGET scoring post focal therapy compared to PI-FAB. @IP_London @FocalSociety @AJWLight @TaimurShah

We then wondered if we could look at real NHS data to see how common incidents of harm really were (not in trials but in real life) and compare it to what happened a few years ago. Thank you to @TaimurShah & Nick Burns Cox we looked at anonymous data from >16k NHS patients...🧵

Great to round off #BAUS24 with four abstracts in the prostate cancer session, plus a best poster prize for our work on local salvage treatments in radiorecurrent disease! Thanks to @IP_London @TaimurShah @LondonProstate1!

Results of a non-randomised, multi-centre, large study in >3k patients from @AFUrologie comparing radical prostatectomy (RP) and HIFU (not focal) presented at #AUA24 The HIFU patients were older HIFU was non-inferior to RP HIFU licensed in France after this study

@TaimurShah @KabirOlaAli @LondonProstate1 @philcornford Totally agree. Some men will always demand to be treated and even if we start with AS for all, 60% will undergo radical treatment (ProtecT). The key is to treat effectively and gently - not just wait & survey then fire a bazooka at the gland.
