Robotic versus laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: a large cohort study using the 24-hour pad test highlights the impact of continence definition on functional outcomes

https://t.co/s0nnTb3f9A

In a prospective cohort of 1,943 patients, urinary continence recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) was superior to laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) when assessed with objective measures. Using pad counts and the 24-hour pad test, RARP showed lower urinary loss, a higher likelihood of continence recovery, and an absolute 11% advantage at 12 months, highlighting the influence of continence definitions on reported outcomes. #ProstateCancer

Can clinical complete response replace cystectomy in MIBC?

The EORTC STARBURST project aims to validate MRI + biomarkers to predict response to neoadjuvant therapy—opening the door to personalized, bladder-sparing strategies.

Your PhD is about the evolution of your mindset.

It proceeds through personal research experience, mentorship and development of key skills.

This is why PhD in STEM:

- is NOT about a thesis (very few people will read it)
- is NOT about finish your advisor’s project
- is NOT about attending new courses
- is NOT to learn how to use cool instruments (although it might be handy, it is of little help in a long run)

Yes, some of it will help you get hired. BUT PhD should not be about this.

▫️

PhD is about personal development, creativity and problem solving in a highly dynamic research environment.

First of all, it is about:

- Becoming a highly critical and creative thinker
- Learning how to think independently (against the local or global mainstream)
- Learning how to “jump-start” a project and bring it to perfection
- Discovering your strengths and weaknesses as a future leader
- Learning from massive number of mistakes without big consequences
- Learning how to accept failures and move on
- Understanding the value of teamwork and collaboration
- Publishing important studies and making discoveries (especially if you plan to stay in academia)

▫️

Of course, there are some “perks” that come with it:

1. Getting a good expertise in some field
2. Getting some idea about the world of academia and how things work there
3. Learning how to use fancy tools (microscopes, spectrometers, etc)
4. Learning how to write papers, etc etc

But these are only bonuses. They should not be why you are pursuing PhD.

▫️

As a prospective PhD student, do NOT look for a supervisor who will be simply assigning tasks to you and tracking your project.

Look for a good mentor and advisor who can help you develop YOUR leadership skills.

A proper research environment and inspiration to pursue your dreams are the key ingredients.
