ADT intensification did not improve overall survival in prostate cancer, with worse cancer-specific outcomes seen in real-world patients over 25 years.

Repeated catheterisation, not duration alone, increases CAUTI risk in pelvic fracture patients, with infection rates rising sharply after multiple replacements.

Antenatal pelvic floor training may lower severe perineal trauma and shorten labour in first-time mothers, new clinical trial findings suggest.

Pre-treatment prostate MRI predicts recurrence and survival outcomes after radical prostatectomy, offering added prognostic value beyond standard clinical factors.

Nutrition and lifestyle interventions are promising for improving the quality of life of patients with prostate cancer undergoing radiotherapy, a 2026 review has concluded.

Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy outcomes are comparable across age groups, including men aged 75 and older, with similar recovery and safety.

Urinary metabolites may help detect bladder cancer and predict recurrence, offering a potential non-invasive tool to improve patient monitoring and outcomes.

Severe infections are linked to a higher dementia risk: researchers found that people with cystitis have a more than 20% increased risk.
