This Men’s Health Week, we're shining a spotlight on prostate health and common, yet stigmatised, health conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

With BPH affecting around half of all men in their 50s, raising awareness of the treatment options available is an important step towards better health outcomes.

By encouraging more transparent conversations about men's health and care, we can help break down the stigma often associated with these topics, empowering men to make informed decisions about their health.

Interventional radiology is advancing rapidly, and IRSA's ASM 2026 brings together the people driving that change.

We're excited to welcome keynote speaker Marc Sapoval, Professor of Radiology at Université Paris Cité and Head of Vascular and Oncological Interventional Radiology at Hôpital Européen Georges-Pompidou in Paris, France, to the IRSA ASM 2026.

A global leader in interventional radiology, Professor Sapoval is renowned for his expertise in peripheral arterial disease, embolisation techniques and image-guided therapies. Across a career spanning more than three decades, he has contributed to landmark multicentre trials, authored more than 300 peer-reviewed publications and played a key role in advancing evidence-based endovascular medicine globally.

If you're inspired by Marc's pivotal role in shaping IR, here's where you can connect with him at :

💡Inflammatory embolisation - mechanism and evidence
💡Renal denervation
💡PAE 2026 - evidence base, patient selection, and contemporary clinical positioning
💡AI in IR - how it will transform IR in the next 5 years

Beyond the sessions, ASM attendees will also have the opportunity to connect with Marc and other inspiring leaders in IR throughout our relaxed, casual social events and networking opportunities.
