Great visual summary of this study reinforcing the importance of urethral surveillance after RC. The question of when to perform primary urethrectomy during RC remains unclear, but we almost certainly should do it more, especially in those with all 3 of CIS, PU ca & multifocal ca

A strange note to finish another strange lockdown week on… giving the unsw students a tutorial on acute urologic conditions via Teams & leaving them with this last slide on positions creating the highest risk of penile fracture😝. Us urologists are a weird bunch…

Landmark day for me. Now 7yo, my boy for the 1st time conquered his nerves & paddled out the back at Bondi on his own, so today we caught waves together & he laughed at dad’s ‘epic fails’ 😂. Dream come true 4 me… I hope it’s the 1st of a thousand surfs together. Little legend

Congratulations to the incomparable Prof. Fizazi! PEACE-1 demonstrates sig. ⬆️ in rPFS (median 2.5 years) and OS (median 1.5 years in high-vol. disease) with addition of Abiraterone to ADT + Docetaxel in mHS #ProstateCancer. #ARASENS data awaited. ESMO - Eur. Oncology #ESMO21 OncoAlert

Another great GUCAST. Abi/enza will be standard for de novo M0 v high risk Pca. PSMA N/M+ pts are better off with RT than RP, but RP+ePLND is good local rx for N0M0 for psa<10, young & PSM risk is low. If postop PSA<0.01 then may be cured abi+adt can wait until psa is detectable.

I can’t cope with the disappointment in his face when he realises he’s been caught!! 😭 GIVE HIM ALL THE FOOD!

Putin’s denial of Ukrainian statehood carries dark historical echoes ft.com/content/1df8a9…

Putin’s attack on Ukraine echoes Hitler’s takeover of Czechoslovakia wapo.st/3BQBZ5S

Today, Secretary Blinken authorized an additional 350 million dollars in assistance for immediate support to Ukraine’s defense. Read his statement here: ow.ly/9eHY50I51qj

I don’t use Twitter for political or personal opinions, but watching apartment blocks full of families attacked by missiles is tantamount to a terrorist attack. #VladimirHitler and his war crimes against #Ukraine cannot be idly watched by us. The west MUST send military aid.

Good on you Declan and Nathan for standing up for human rights and innocent civilians against an egomaniacal bully

Congrats to Louise Emmett , Phil Stricker, Will G the team at St Vincent’s & colleagues in the Netherlands who developed the probe design. Initial results from DETECT trial of Tc-PSMA robotic probe to guide ePLND during RARP now available online at JNM drjamesthompson.com/latest-cutting…
