    BACKGROUND: Focal therapy (FT) for prostate cancer (PCa) is promising. However, long-term oncological results are awaited and there is no consensus on follow-up strategies. Molecular biomarkers (MB) may be useful in selecting, treating and following up men undergoing FT, though there is limited evidence in this field to guide practice. We aimed to conduct a consensus meeting, endorsed by the Focal Therapy Society, amongst a large group of experts, to understand the potential utility of MB in FT for localized PCa. METHODS: A 38-item questionnaire was built following a literature search. The authors then performed three rounds of a Delphi Consensus using DelphiManager, using the GRADE grid scoring system, followed by a face-to-face expert meeting. Three areas of interest were identified and covered concerning MB for FT, 1) the current/present role; 2) the potential/future role; 3) the recommended features for future studies. Consensus was defined using a 70% agreement threshold. RESULTS: Of 95 invited experts, 42 (44.2%) completed the three Delphi rounds. Twenty-four items reached a consensus and they were then approved at the meeting involving (N.=15) experts. Fourteen items reached a consensus on uncertainty, or they did not reach a consensus. They were re-discussed, resulting in a consensus (N.=3), a consensus on a partial agreement (N.=1), and a consensus on uncertainty (N.=10). A final list of statements were derived from the approved and discussed items, with the addition of three generated statements, to provide guidance regarding MB in the context of FT for localized PCa. Research efforts in this field should be considered a priority. CONCLUSIONS: The present study detailed an initial consensus on the use of MB in FT for PCa. This is until evidence becomes available on the subject.

    Unveiling the challenges of UTUC biopsies and cytology: insights from a global real-world practice study
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Baard, Joyce; Cormio, Luigi; Dasgupta, Ranan; Maruzzi, Daniele; Rais-Bahrami, Soroush; Serrano, Alvaro; Geavlete, Bogdan; Giannakopoulos, Stilianos; de la Rosette, Jean J. M. C. H.; del Pilar Laguna Pes, Maria
    Purpose: Diagnostic ureteroscopy (dURS) is optional in the assessment of patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and provides the possibility of obtaining histology. Methods: To evaluate endoscopic biopsy techniques and outcomes, we assessed data from patients from the CROES-UTUC registry. The registry includes multicenter prospective collected data on diagnosis and management of patients suspected having UTUC. Results: We assessed 2380 patients from 101 centers. dURS with biopsy was performed in 31.6% of patients. The quality of samples was sufficient for diagnosis in 83.5% of cases. There was no significant association between biopsy techniques and quality (p = 0.458). High-grade biopsy accurately predicted high-grade disease in 95.7% and high-risk stage disease in 86%. In ureteroscopic low-grade tumours, the prediction of subsequent low-grade disease was 66.9% and low-risk stage Ta-disease 35.8%. Ureteroscopic staging correctly predicted non-invasive Ta-disease and ? T1 disease in 48.9% and 47.9% of patients, respectively. Cytology outcomes did not provide additional value in predicting tumour grade. Conclusion: Biopsy results adequately predict high-grade and high-risk disease, but approximately one-third of patients are under-staged. Two-thirds of patients with low-grade URS-biopsy have high-risk stage disease, highlighting the need for improved diagnostics to better assess patient risk and guide treatment decisions. Clinical trial registration: The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02281188; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02281188).
