Reducing "useless" lymph node dissections with PSMA
Show Notes

A perennial topic on GU Cast!! But today we welcome a couple of very useful papers in European Urology Oncology which help us understand how PSMA PET/CT can help patient selection for pelvic lymph node dissection in prostate cancer. We are joined by Dr Giorgio Gandaglia from San Raffaele Hospital in Milano to discuss these two papers (links below).
We also hear about Declan's recent trip to San Raffaele as Visiting Professor, and he sits down for a wide-ranging chat with professor Francesco Monitorsi, Director & Professor of Urology at San Raffaele.
