Spotlight on Urology
Spotlight on Urology takes a look at recent activities undertaken to advance urology around the world. There are several items to cover this week, including a media article on prostate cancer and another article on Male Infertility Guidelines that have been endorsed by USANZ. We also look at the winning article of the Asian Journal of Andrology's Outstanding Paper Award for 2025, and the upcoming GU Cast episode streamed live from EAU26.
Prostate Cancer in the Media
The Senior posted an article on prostate cancer this week, with commentary by USANZ Member Dixon Woon. The article discusses the incidental discovery of prostate cancer in two brothers receiving treatment for other injuries, and their subsequent surgeries by Dixon. In the article, Dixon notes that it is common for older and middle-aged men to minimise their health symptoms but emphasises the importance of early screening. USANZ thanks Dixon for contributing to this important topic for public awareness.

Male Infertility Guidelines
An article has been posted in Surgical News on Male Infertility Matters, discussing Australia's first evidence-based Male Infertility Guidelines. These Guidelines have been endorsed by USANZ.
USANZ Member Darren Katz provides commentary in the article which is available to read online. As stated in the RACS article, these guidelines mark a significant advance for surgeons, Trainees and researchers across the region.
