Welcome to the latest Hot Topics Podcast from NB Medical with Dr Neal Tucker. In this episode, we look at two new papers on the drugs de jour: GLP1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors. Can the former reduce pain in knee osteoarthritis and can the latter prevent recurrent renal stones?
Our third paper is a consensus paper published in the BJGP on optimising PSA testing for the early detection of prostate cancer in asymptomatic men. Sponsored by Prostate Cancer UK, Neal is joined by Dr Alex Norman, a GP, and Dr Oliver Hulson, a consultant radiologist who undertakes prostate biopsy, to discuss the outcomes of this paper and the latest research in this area. For further information from Prostate Cancer UK including educational resources and webinars see the links below.
