ESMO 2024 Bladder Cancer. ESMO 2024: Scientific Congress Highlights: Genitourinary Tumors, Non-Prostate; ESMO 2024: Identification of Bladder Cancer Patients That Could Benefit from Early Post-Cystectomy Immunotherapy Based on Serial Circulating Tumour DNA Testing: Preliminary Results from the TOMBOLA Trial

The diagnostic abilities for assessing prostate cancer patients have significantly evolved in the last years. Ranging from advanced imaging modalities for detection, new innovative liquid and tissue based biomarkers as well as the recent introduction of PSMA PET imaging have significantly advanced the field, challenging some of the old grounds of truth.

Neal Shore and Sarah Young join Zachary Klaassen to discuss a JCO Oncology Practice publication advocating for universal germline genetic testing in prostate cancer patients.
