Thanks UroToday.com for sharing our work, which shows low treatment-guideline compliance for patients with cT1 bladder cancer. However, there is a trend toward increased use of guideline-based treatment (BCG or upfront RC). Sima Porten @samwashuro Maxwell Meng

#AUA19 ⁦Anobel Odisho⁩ on reducing cancelled patient appointments by text messaging

Our results support safety of AS for patients with GG1 and select patients with GG2 at dx. Men with GG2 and 2+ high grade cores at dx may benefit from earlier curative treatment. #AUA19 Carroll, Peter Matt Cooperberg UCSFUrology

With a text-message reminder and education program for prostate biopsy patients, we reduced overall canceled or rescheduled appointments by 37% (33.8% vs 21.2%, P<.001) and same-day cancellations by 87% (3.8% vs 0.5%, P<.001). Anobel Odisho Carroll, Peter Hao Nguyen

Prostate biopsy patients really liked our SMS-based #digitalhealth engagement efforts, with high rates of satisfaction, engagement, and lower cancellation rates @ucsfurology

I attended a week long simulation based and hands on training on ultrasound guided PCNL and URS by UCSFUrology . A lot of knowledge amd skill unpacked and a potential collaboration and partnership was made.Delighted about it. Can't wait to expand it to 🇪🇹 and 🇰🇪Center for Health Equity in Surgery & Anesthesia

Using low cost models they designed, David B Bayne and Ashwin Balakrishnan lead simulation workshops with East African urologists to teach skills in flexible ureteroscopy and ultrasound guided PCNL. The models will be used locally for ongoing training.
