Following publication of this guideline, the Oncology Section and the British Uro-Oncology Group (BUG) sought members' opinions by means of a questionnaire.  In January 2014, following consultation with BAUS and other interested groups, guideline CG175 - Prostate cancer: diagnosis & treatment was published on the NICE website; this was updated in 2019 (see below) to reflect recent changes in diagnosing prostate cancer.

 

European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines

The EAU produces evidence-based guidelines for the management of both benign and malignant urological conditions. Being guidelines (and not protocols), they are advisory rather than proscriptive.

 A complete collection of all EAU guidelines, in a single volume, can be downloaded using the link below.

In addition, the EAU has released an app containing a "pocket" version of its guidelines; to obtain this app, go to your provider's App Store and search for "EAU Pocket Guidelines".
