Welcome back to the Hot Topics podcast from NB Medical with Dr Neal Tucker.
In this episode we look at three new pieces of research and have a special interview in conjunction with Prostate Cancer UK.
First, do anti-depressants have physiological side effects, how do they compare to each other, and how does this influence what we prescribe to whom?
Second, exercise is a key treatment for knee osteoarthritis but which type is best? What should we recommend to our patients?
Third, how has PSA testing changed over the past two decades? Is there variation in testing in high-risk groups? Discussing this further, we are joined by Dr Bunmi Olajide, a GP with a special interest in cancer, and Kevin Howell, Black Health Equity Engagement manager for Prostate Cancer UK.
