@jfunkmd@TylerSbrt7 Completely understand that this is safe practice, but the question of timing remains! I would bet most patients in this study waited at least 6 months.
@daviesbj@dr_coops I think we can all see where this is going. I am doubtful that any of this will help the BCG crisis. Just BCG being hoarded for an extraordinarily expensive treatment that is now being studied in the BCG-naive space.
Federal dollars fund a SWOG trial for the Tokyo BCG strain. Once P3 study is good we have a private company obtain the rights (ImmunityBio) for the BLA from JBL. Has there been any assurance that this public money will help the BCG crisis? Or is it just for ImmunityBio mid drug?
It's another beautiful day to shape the future of urology at #AUA26. We're so proud of the medical students, residents, and faculty representing the Stream Team today!
Shout-out to our fantastic collaborators @jimhumd, @KeithKow, @DrMBWesterman, @PNSchlegel, & @Hannah_Thomas4!
@jdhdavis Glad there is some context so i’ll pull back on my initial judgment, but still not sure there is a situation i would ever offer RARP in this patient. Outlet procedure, AS, radiation later if needed.
This was quite distressing. Two #RARP in a row for GG1 #prostatecancer...
Realise it's a technique session.
But surely we can't ignore poor decision-making?
Dr Kocher:
"Good surgeon knows how to operate; excellent surgeon knows when (not) to operate"
But the crowd want it!
