The year 2018 is an exciting time to work as a urooncologist. Therapies have developed rapidly in the last year. The papers collected in this issue of memo review the current standards and future perspectives in urooncology with a focus on prostate, bladder and renal cell cancer, including practice guidelines with a patient case report. This case report reflects the potent drugs that we can offer our metastatic renal cell cancer patients (mRCC) over a very long treatment period including multimodal treatment that leads to an impressive overall survival time with excellent quality of life [1, 2]. Prostate Cancer Guidelines [3–6] advise us to hit hard from the very beginning—already in the hormone-sensitive stage of metastatic prostate cancer (mHSPC) with high volume disease. The CHAARTED and STAMPEDE trials emphasized the use of early chemohormonal treatment with six cycles of docetaxel and androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) [7–9] in the high-volume disease population. Patients with mHSPC, who are not candidates for docetaxel, have another treatment option since the publication of the LATITUDE study [10]. This study showed a benefit for abiraterone plus ADT in mHSPC patients vs ADT in progression-free survival and overall survival. The median time to progression is 36 months, so the costs and the reimbursement of abiraterone will be an upcoming discussion. The costs for docetaxel are relatively low and after 18 weeks, this treatment with manageable and well-known chemotherapy side effects is completed. Abiraterone certainly has less side effects, but we do not know whether there are
