My proudest moment in medical school was about 18 months ago - when I wrote a resolution to the AMA demanding they speak out against forced DNA collection of migrants. I was shocked when the entire AMA stood with me.

Last week, @DHSgov finally relented.
No voice is too small.

Congrats to Raj Kumar @FoleyAndFollies on presenting his first-author poster on discharge disposition predictors after #RC at the #SESAUA23 conference! A talented researcher with a bright future in urology. #ResearchExcellence #AUAConference #Urology

[Dr. Giovanni E Cacciamani MD MSc FEBU 🇮🇹🇺🇸🇪🇺 @Cacciamani_MD]

🚨Our study analyzed 138,151 RCs patients encounter to determine which patient and facility characteristics are associated with discharge home and discharge to continued rehabilitation facilities

Kudos to @FoleyAndFollies Raj Kumar & @DrAsanad @USC_Urology @Uroweb #EAU23

[Raj Kumar, MD @FoleyAndFollies]

Fresh paper our team JUST published in @Cancers_MDPI

After radical cystectomy, what factors influence where patients are discharged? Do they go home or to a SNF?

Nearly 140,000 data points! Kudos to my incredible mentor @Cacciamani_MD @USC_Urology

[Dr. Giovanni E Cacciamani MD MSc FEBU 🇮🇹🇺🇸🇪🇺 @Cacciamani_MD]

🇺🇸140.000 Radical Cystectomies

Amongst the predictors of being discharged home vs. CFR:

🧒 younger patients
👨🏼‍🦰males
🏥high volumes RCs
🤖robotic surgery

🚨Only in 2021, the n. of studies on #Prostate, #bladder, and #kidney cancer mentioning "smoking" was 350

⬆️Increasing trend over time on +17%/year

💡We are providing the evidence. Now it's the time to make the change

At a Urology conference in Hawaii. My 3 year old daughter just saw two men walk into the meeting room and said “mommy - boys just walked in there. Boys can be doctors too??” 👏👏👏 #WomenInMedicine #ILookLikeASurgeon

[Raj Kumar, MD @FoleyAndFollies]

@dshoskes @UrolOncol @UrologyList @Uro_Res Good question! While we did not study it, my personal opinion is ED. Just because ED is something that the patient likely struggles with daily and affects their QoL. It's also well studied and sometimes reversible, so patients will often make the effort and start to see results.

[Raj Kumar, MD @FoleyAndFollies]

Wow, right before Christmas our latest paper made the cover of @UrolOncol !

Urologists aren't "traditionally" front line defense against smoking #tobacco. Here's why that should change!

@CanesDavid Surprised and a little disappointed that no one has posted this yet.

[Raj Kumar, MD @FoleyAndFollies]

Thank you @SIU_Journal for posting our work!

Seeing just how far the #Movember movement has spread - even beyond the English language - has been incredibly inspiring!

@UrologyList @Uro_Res @Cacciamani_MD @LGMedinaN

[Société Internationale d'Urologie Journal @SIU_Journal]

In the November 2021 issue of the SIU Journal, Daniel González et al. published an analysis on the impact of the Movember campaign in the search trends for information about prostate cancer in the Spanish language.

Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot 10K! All runners received a free pie, which was the whole reason I came. 🥧🥧🥧

[Raj Kumar, MD @FoleyAndFollies]

I had my car repaired yesterday. They recommended a wide, aggressive debridement. @UrologyList @Uro_Res

Another unusual case authored in @UroCaseReports

Melanoma that metastasized to the bladder. Sounds unusual, but evidence suggests most cases go undiagnosed!

[Urology Case Reports @UroCaseReports]

A case of malignant melanoma metastatic to the bladder. Presented with severe anemia secondary to intermittent gross hematuria. Perhaps not as rare as a glance at the literature may suggest! @FoleyAndFollies

Here's a fun case I authored in @UroCaseReports with the wonderful team at @UF_Urology !

An inverted urothelial papilloma found in an unusual position: the upper urinary tract.

Credits to the team! @KJCampbellMD @michaelmaidaa

[Raj Kumar, MD @FoleyAndFollies]

Excited to be a part of this project! Movember is a huge phenomenon in the United States 🇺🇸, but how far does it reach abroad?

Here, we take a look at the men's health phenomenon in Spain to 🇪🇸 see what we can learn!

[Dr. Giovanni E Cacciamani MD MSc FEBU 🇮🇹🇺🇸🇪🇺 @Cacciamani_MD]

👨🏻‍💼The #Movember campaign generates a statistically significant increase in the search trends on “cancer de #próstata” (prostate cancer) during the month of November (both in Spain and worldwide)suggesting that the campaign is effective beyond the English language
