It was a real pleasure to be involved in the recent @NCIDirector visit to @UMRogelCancer. Grateful Dr. Letai carved away time to hear what we're up to in Ann Arbor, and it was great learning about some current @theNCI priorities related to conduct of clinical trials. #GoBlue

BCG-unresponsive NMIBC trials feel confusing—and inconsistent EFS reporting is a big reason why
We analyze the CIS+ cohorts of 4-FDA registration trials to provide interpretable EFS estimates

Has there been an improvement in surgical overtreatment of prostate cancer over the past 2 decades?
Yes — and profoundly.
In 2010, 1 in 3 prostatectomies 🔪 were for indolent disease.
In 2024, it's 1 in 20.
Read our work below, presented at #AUA2025 today. 🧵
Terrific work on a podium presentation by @Daws_Hill, one of our best medical students at @UMichUrology who will be applying for urology residency soon enough.
A smooth presentation at the intersection of disparities, quality, and utilization in prostate cancer.
Many thanks to the @AmerUrological for their support and interest in the work we are doing at @UMichUrology!
As health services researchers, the policy lens of what we do often determines the impact of our work

#AUASummit25 is almost over, but we still have a couple of exciting presentations left, including one starting now with @4rnav. In his presentation, he will discuss aligning payment models and quality in prostate cancer care, including the rationale for new payment models, current payment strategies and disease-specific payment models.
As the @SUO_YUO interview season please reach out with any questions about our program or the process in general
Many great programs out there. But if you want to be a surgeon-scientist, there is no place like @UMichUrology
🌟 Spotlight on our exceptional SUO Research Fellows!
Their dedication to advancing urologic oncology through groundbreaking research is driving innovation and improving patient outcomes!
Thrilled to announce that our program is expanding from 2–>3 residents/year starting with this upcoming intern class. Thank you to our fearless leaders @TomJangUroOnc and Dr. Barone for their unwavering determination to get this done 🙌

APM development remains very challenging ... but also potentially very promising
