“Readability of patient education materials in uro-oncology.

Most materials fail to meet readability standards
Mean FRES scores: EAU 50.9, AUA 64.0 (it should be 80!)
Only 18.6% met readability criteria

We need to do more: we must do better for our patients!

Special thanks to Christian Gratzke and the European Urology Focus editorial team for the support in this publication.”
