Developing a risk calculator to predict cancer in patients with haematuria: The IDENTIFY Study
Patients with haematuria require investigations to rule out urinary tract cancer. We know that the most common cancer found during these investigations is bladder cancer, whereas upper tract cancers such as renal cell carcinoma and upper urinary tract urothelial cancer...Urology around the world: Myanmar
In this article the author, a urologist from Myanmar, discusses the presentation, diagnosis and management of a condition common in his country. Urethral orifice stones Urolithiasis is one of the most common urological conditions, usually involving the kidneys, ureters and...A sigma six approach to improving nephrostomy and antegrade stent services at a district general hospital – an audit project
As hospitals merge into larger trusts there becomes a centralisation of some services. Interventional radiology (IR) has been one of those services. Our district general hospital runs bi-weekly lR lists following service centralisation. Urology and IR most commonly liaise on...Renal masses

Prostate cancer mortality among elderly men after discontinuing organised screening
This study presents ground-breaking insights into discontinuing prostate cancer (PCa) screening in previously screened elderly men, aiming to mitigate the risk of overdiagnosis and overtreatment in the face of other-cause mortality. Examining men aged 70–74 who had undergone prostate specific...
Effect of DUA on surgical outcomes of HoLEP
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) become increasingly common in men as they age, with over 70–90% of men aged over 80 experiencing these issues. Detrusor underactivity (DUA) is characterised by a weakened bladder contraction, leading to prolonged or incomplete bladder...
Prostate cancer detection in younger men
Prostate cancer (PC) screening using prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing with systematic biopsy (SBx) reduces mortality but risks overdiagnosis and unnecessary biopsies. Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) enables MRI-targeted biopsy (TBx) of suspicious lesions and is now recommended before biopsy, although its role...NHS hospitals adopt GALEAS Bladder: a faster, more accurate at-home bladder cancer test
NHS hospitals are using a new way of testing for bladder cancer that is fast, accurate and convenient for patients, as profiled in The Guardian on 8 June 2026. GALEAS Bladder is enabling NHS hospitals to reduce procedures so cystoscopy...
