Diversifying editorial boards to mitigate the global burden of genitourinary cancers
Nature Reviews Urology, Published online: 01 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41585-024-00867-xThe growing global burden of genitourinary cancers is disproportionately shouldered by low- and middle-income countries. Medical journals offer an avenue for discourse among different stakeholders to strategize and identify solutions. Thus, achieving diversity in this context is crucial to put together a heterogeneous group of stakeholders with diverse personal and cultural experiences as well as distinct problem-solving approaches.

Supplementary selenium and vitamin E in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer
Nature Reviews Urology, Published online: 05 February 2024; doi:10.1038/s41585-024-00859-xIn the SELENIB trial, selenium and vitamin E were compared with placebo as chemoprevention for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). No difference versus placebo was observed in recurrence-free interval (RFI) with selenium, but vitamin E was associated with worse RFI. Selenium and vitamin E cannot be recommended in chemoprevention for NMIBC. Furthermore, patients with NMIBC taking supplemental vitamin E should be made aware of its potential association with worse RFI. (Source: Nature Reviews Urology)
