In this Issue, there are four mini‐reviews, three of which relate to cancer of the genitourinary system. In the first of these the endourological management of upper tract TCC is described by authors from the Mayo Clinic who have a long‐term experience in this area. The second and third of the mini‐reviews concern prostate cancer, but in different ways. The authors from Sacramento write about the use of the artificial urinary sphincter for post‐prostatectomy incontinence. Obviously this includes surgery for benign disease also, but the main emphasis is on its use after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. The other article is about the use of ErbB receptors as possible therapeutic targets, from the University of Leicester. Finally in this section, authors from Kingston, Ontario, have written a mini‐review on hypogonadism and erectile dysfunction, relating pathophysiology to treatment and outcomes.
