The American Urological Association's guideline committee has written proposed new guidelines for localized prostate cancer.
This could affect you or people like you in the future.
The guideline will cover such things as the AUA position on transperineal vs, transrectal biopsies. Currently, AUS prefers transrectal biopsies in the guidelines written several years ago. Things have changed. Don't know what the guideline says.
AUA is seeking comments from members and non-members.
You have until Dec. 17 to ask to comment.
Details:
The AUA has developed a draft of new guidelines for localized prostate cancer.
They accept comments from members and non-members.
Thie guidelines will deal with issues such as the status of transperineal biopsies vs. TRUS.
There is a Dec. 17 to request a copy to comment on these under NDA.
It is time for this community to share their thoughts. I assume individuals, as well as organizations, can comment.

AUA Seeking Review and Comments on the New Draft of the Localized Prostate Cancer Guideline
The AUA is providing members and other interested parties the opportunity to review and provide comments on the draft guideline on Localized Prostate Cancer. The draft guideline will be available for review in January 2022, and a time period of approximately two weeks will be allotted for this assessment. Before being sent a copy of the draft guideline, all reviewers must disclose their current industry relationships on the AUA website in order to comply with the AUA’s conflict of interest (COI) policy and sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to be provided. Information about the draft must be kept confidential until after the guideline has been published to the AUA website in its final state.
Interested reviewers, both AUA members and non-members, should email their name, address, AUA ID # (if available), and preferred email address to EKirkby@auanet.org. The deadline to request the guideline is December 17 in order to qualify to review and receive the draft guideline. Requests after that date cannot be processed.
