Abstract
In recent months, restrictions have been proposed on the prescription of PARP inhibitors (iPARP) by urologists in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The Spanish Association of Urology (AEU), its Uro-Oncology Group (GUO), and the presidents of the Regional Urology Associations consider these limitations unjustified from clinical, organizational, legal, or professional perspectives. They unduly restrict the exercise of competencies recognized in the interdisciplinary management of prostate cancer, in line with the training, experience, and current regulations of the specialty. This document argues, from scientific, clinical, and legal standpoints, that urologists are qualified and legally authorized to prescribe and administer iPARP according to current legislation and the official training program. It also advocates a collaborative model centred on the patient's care pathway and based on mutual respect among specialties, ensuring professional autonomy, continuity of care, and equitable access to therapeutic innovation.
