Very important study! One of the main criticisms of Gem/Doce is that "all the data is retrospective" This prospective study has results that are even better (92% CR at 1 year) Looking forward to larger studies and BRIDGE results

Curious as to practice patterns for low-volume CIS (partial response) at 3 month evaluation after Gem/Doce? (Let’s assume not on BRIDGE trial or any BCG shortage) A rare scenario but interesting as to whether to “save” the BCG for later… Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network YUO Saum Ghodoussipour

Proud to announce we won best video at #SESAUA25 Great job Yeonsoo Sara Lee, MD for making the presentation and the illustrations. Also, a huge thanks to Dr. J. Kaouk for paving the way. This approach yields fast and early return to continence (55% w/in 1 week of catheter removal)

Robotic Radical Right Nephrectomy & Level 2 Caval Thrombectomy for Kidney Cancer 👨‍⚕️🤖 These complex procedures don’t come around often. Challenging? Yes. But the reward when done right? Unmatched. 💪 🔗 Watch the full-length video: youtu.be/65TPPUnE2z8

A wise doctor once told me, “WRVU stands for Worry Relative Value Units.” Thought it was just burnout poetry, turns out there is basis to create a billing code for emotional damage now.

Is focal therapy ready for prime time? Samir Taneja says YES — with careful candidate selection, complete treatment of the index lesion, and rigorous follow-up. Exciting vision for the future of prostate cancer care! NYU Langone Urology Focal Therapy Society #AUA25

Amir Lebastchi, MD shows why focal therapy is preferred for favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer: •Radical tx doesn’t lower mortality •Hurts QOL •50% of patients on AS ends up getting treated by 8 years Focal therapy = effective, less invasive, better QOL. #AUA25 Society of Urologic Oncology
