Active Surveillance Patients International (ASPI) has presented its third annual Dr. Gerald Chodak Award to Pioneers in Active Surveillance (AS) to Dr. Peter Carroll. Congratulations! ✨ Carroll, Peter urology.ucsf.edu/news/all/20240…

Excited to share work UCSFUrology UCSF Health Carroll, Peter in @EurUrolOnc. We show that men with #ProstateCancer stable on #ActiveSurveillance for 5y had moderate upgrade but low mets or death at 15y, supporting AS deintensification in select patients. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39341710/

Determining Long-term #ProstateCancer Outcomes for Active Surveillance Patients Without Early Disease Progression: Implications for Slowing or Stopping Surveillance out on European Urology pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39341710/ This study evaluated long-term outcomes of prostate cancer (PCa)

It’s a rare treat when people get together & say nice stuff about u. I’m very grateful to my UCSFUrology residents, fellows, & friends for telling their stories of times we’ve shared. The values we’ve strived for? Be generous, be genuine, be kind, and be with people who inspire.

Many congrats Carissa Chu Kevin Shee, MD, PhD Emily Hacker for a UCSFUrology _clean sweep_ of the #wsaua24 essay contests!! 💪

The Impact of Delayed Radical Prostatectomy on Recurrence Outcomes After Initial Active Surveillance: Results from a Large Institutional Cohort by Kevin Shee, MD, PhD et al buff.ly/48g97TT #UroSoMe #MedTwitter #EUO #RadicalProstatectomy

Great talk by UW Urology (UCSFUrology) Meera Chappidi on her AS and CanaryPASS work with Daniel Lin. Biomarker application to AS is a key research area that needs to be systematically unpacked. Resonated with the need to identify optimal outcomes; may not be one size fits all.

Why is Juan José Andino at #suo24???? To lay out some useful knowledge on #telehealth in urology ☎️ 👏 UCLA Urology UCLA Health UM Urology Residency Program YUO Society of Urologic Oncology

Thanks for the shoutout Matt Cooperberg !!! Only possible when mentored by the best of the best UCSFUrology Carroll, Peter Hao Nguyen Matt Cooperberg SamWashUro Sima Porten Carissa Chu Benjamin Breyer Lindsay Hampson

Incredible state-of-the-art talk by UCSFUrology Sima Porten at #EAU25 on TARs, the novel bladder drug delivery system with great initial trial results. Loved her mnemonic for the Sunrise trials: odd numbers (1, 3, 5) for NMIBC and even (2, 4) for MIBC — simple and brilliant!

Grateful to Carroll, Peter UCSFUrology for sending me to present my work at #EAU25 and Sima Porten for showing me around! Huge thanks to European Association of Urology (EAU) for an outstanding conference and European Urology for getting us in Santiago Bernabéu Stadium! Made friends and future colleagues for life!

Congratulations to one of my mentors UCSFUrology Hao Nguyen on his paper in Cancer Cell! This groundbreaking work on Zotatifin and its role in targeting protein synthesis to kill prostate cancer cells is a major step forward in #prostatecancer research! UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr UC San Francisco

In Eur Urol Focus, we show that grade group 3 (GG3) prostate cancers are heterogeneous. Unfavorable histology (EC or IDC) was strongly associated with recurrence after surgery, independent of % pattern 4 and CAPRA-S, and may improve risk stratification. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40374413/.

Congrats to Kevin Shee for matching into the UCSF UroOnc SUO fellowship program! Kevin Shee, MD, PhD #UroOnc #SUO #SUOMatch

So thrilled to stay in the Bay to continue the research momentum I’ve built. Thanks to Carroll, Peter Sima Porten Maxwell Meng Hao Nguyen Matt Cooperberg SamWashUro Anobel Odisho Carissa Chu Meera Chappidi for the support!

Congratulations to Dr. Porten on her appointment as Chief of Urologic Oncology! A role that recognizes her exceptional clinical expertise, research leadership, and long-standing commitment to advancing care for patients with genitourinary cancer. urology.ucsf.edu/news/all/20250…

Excited for the next crop of urology hopefuls!! We are an academically-focused program that will provide strong surgical skills, research and leadership opportunities, a chance to work with all specialties and diverse hospital systems, and above all a family to become a part of!
