🇮🇹 Gli Azzurri are coming for the Uromigos World Cup! ⚽🏆
From the Duomo di Milano to the latest in bladder preservation, Team Italy is bringing the Milan criteria for clinical complete response to the pitch.
And they've got a message for the competition: We're coming for you! 👀
🎥 : @giannatempopatr & @CMercinelli | #UromigosLive
Just back from the 99th National Congress of the Italian Society of Urology in Riccione #SIU2026
Privileged to have been faculty of a course on localised & metastatic RCC, and to share my last congress as a resident with my @SanRaffaeleMI colleagues
See you in Rome for the 100th!

#ESMO26 Urothelial carcinoma reflections and implications for kidney cancer @grantissimus @urotoday
Ph 2 International Neoadjuvant Kidney Cancer Collaboration Master Protocol @innovativectu
SOC: 12 mos adjuvant pembro
Goal: Evaluate multiple neoadjuvant strategies
And just like that, my kidney cancer fellowship at @CUH_NHS has come to an end.
240+ cases, countless clinics and MDTs, publications, and an amazing team who made Cambridge feel like home.
Forever grateful for this unforgettable year!

📢 New editorial out in @EurUrolOncol!
Rethinking the 3-cm rule in #RCC: is size enough?
Long-term evidence in sporadic bilateral multifocal pRCC suggests that when we intervene may be as important as how.
Great pleasure to work with @Selcuk__Erdem & @u_capitanio
What an inspiring day at the Urological Cancers Symposium hosted by @CRUK_CI. Feeling extremely grateful for the opportunity to share thoughts, insights and perspectives with exceptional leaders who are truly transforming the future of cancer care.

Not every oligometastatic #RCC recurrence needs immediate ST
In selected pts, AS or metastasis-directed therapy may offer valuable time off ST-with no survival disadvantage
The goal is not to identify the best strategy, but the right strategy for the right patient @SanRaffaeleMI
Do positive surgical margins matter after partial nephrectomy?
1,441 pts treated over 24 years for #RCC (5.6% PSM)
🔬4-fold higher risk of local recurrence
🎯No significant association with systemic progression/CSM/OM
👀Supporting careful postoperative surveillance

🔬 Does biological sex influence kidney cancer outcomes more than we currently recognize?
sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Sex-based differences in peri-operative and long-term oncologic outcomes after primary surgical treatment for kidney cancer: A comprehensive analysis from a high-volume tertiary center
A contemporary cohort of 3,956 patients undergoing #KidneyCancer surgery found meaningful sex-related♀️ ♂️ differences in peri-operative and tumor characteristics.
✅ After adjustment, men had longer operative times, 📈 higher postoperative acute kidney injury risk, and greater odds of high-grade tumors and necrosis. Male sex was also associated with progression at unfavorable metastatic sites. However, sex was not independently associated with relapse-free, progression-free, or overall survival, highlighting complex biological and clinical differences.

Does sex matter in kidney cancer surgery?
~4,000 pts underwent nephrectomy for #RCC over 30 years (31% women)
👨 Men had:
⏱️ Longer op times & 49% higher risk of postop AKI
🔬 More high-grade tumours & necrosis
🎯 Higher risk of unfavourable metastatic progression

⚡️ Updated NICE 2026 guideline on kidney cancer: a comprehensive pathway from suspicion to risk-adapted treatment and follow-up.
87% of stage 1a RCC in the UK is diagnosed incidentally. A reminder of how challenging early detection remains in everyday clinical practice.

More great data supporting #activesurveillance for very small <2cm renal masses
excellent safety & longterm follow-up from 🇮🇹 colleagues! @u_capitanio et al
the N=1 patient who developed mets did so with rapid growth and mass >3cm
rdcu.be/fihJ1 @wjurol #kidneycancer
A busy April wraps up with an outstanding prospective multi-institutional study on AS for small renal masses:
🔹Median FU 88 mo
🔹8-yr OS 88%
🔹Treatment-free survival 83%
🔹Only 17% required intervention
Tumour doubling time & location guide deferred active treatment plan.

A must-read comment by great @EAUYAU_RenalCa team, @Ric_Campi @danieleamparore
@Nature Reviews Urology comment argues for a practical shift: understand complexity, embrace uncertainty, and use shared decision-making to avoid both overtreatment and undertreatment.
