So, what about “papillary only” NMIBC (beyond that ~50% may have an occult CIS component)?
Assessing treatment efficacy of “papillary only” NMIBC within single arm, non-randomized trials is just as problematic as demonstrated by our recent @UrolOncol article lead by @DeJesusManuelMD , now at @DHRUroRes@h_alahmadie & Judy Sarungbam, 2 excellent bladder cancer focused GU pathologists @MSKPathology, performed blinded centralized re-review of papillary Ta samples that recurred after intravesical gemcitabine in patients with BCG-exposed/unresponsive NMIBC. Despite all these tumors being previously reviewed at @MSKCancerCenter as part of clinical care, they found that 29% (7/24) were reclassified from HGTa to LGTa and that 8% (1/12) were reclassified from LGTa to HGTa.
Since most contemporary NMIBC trials only consider high grade recurrences as a failure event, the amount of the intra-observer variability seen among GU pathologists at the same high volume cancer center supports the need for RCTs to determine the clinical benefit of any NMIBC treatment. n/9

After receiving some questions about our recent @CCR_AACR paper that was mentioned a few times at last week’s @US_FDA workshop on NMIBC trials, it feels important to highlight our data that demonstrates exactly why randomized trials are critical to determine the true clinical benefit of any NMIBC treatments and why we urgently need to move beyond single arm trials for NMIBC drug approval 1/n

We had a blast at the #AUA26 meeting. A great opportunity to learn, reconnect with friends and mentors, and showcase our work.🏛️🕰️
Especial recognition to our golden boy, Dr. Octavio Herrera for receiving the “Rising Star Award” at the Robotics Theater session. 🌟🌟🌟
Wrapping up an amazing #AUA26 ! Proud to see our PGY5 @oherreramd receive the Rising Star Award for our video about combined- single mesh 🤖 RALSCP + Rectopexy. Great discussion, tips and tricks at the Robotics Theater session for bladder procedures. @DHRUroRes@DHRhealth

🔥 MATCH DAY MILESTONE! 🔥
We are thrilled to welcome the inaugural urology residents to Orlando Health! 🎉
Please join us in celebrating @RodrigoOrtiz601 Rodrigo Ortiz Figueroa and @ogdr17 Orlando Diaz Ramos as our first-ever PGY-1 Urology residents!
Historic day for our program and an incredible future ahead! 🚀🩺💥
#MatchDay #OrlandoHealth #InauguralClass
Applying into urology certainly is a tall task, with this year’s match rate at 76%
This year the Urologic Institute supported 9 students taking on this task and we are proud to say all 9 have matched!
Congratulations to all and looking forward to everyone’s continued success!
The 2026 #UrologyMatch was a tremendous success — with 417 positions filled and only 2 vacancies nationwide. Congratulations to our matched students, and thank you to the residents, faculty, coordinators, and partners at the AUA, AAMC, and ACURE who make this possible each year!
We are incredibly proud to welcome two new stellar residents to our program!
We look forward to the impact they will make at DHR Health and throughout the Rio Grande Valley.
#DHRHealthGME#GraduateMedicalEducation#Urology#Residency
Where do our residents go? Short answer: anywhere they want! We’re proud to say that our residency program currently maintains a 100% fellowship match rate. Our program is committed to the education and professional growth of our residents!
Congratulations to everyone who matched today! If you did not match, we are pleased to announce our complement increase for a SECOND PGY-1 Urology position, starting July 2026. Apply through ERAS Urology Secondary Match Portal. More info: https://t.co/QuAUzBlFmG

If you aren’t cheating, you aren’t trying!
Are you looking at MRIs?
Feeling some confusion about the diffusion?
Feel impaired when it comes to the FLAIR?
Wish you could cheat a little?
Here’s a little cheat sheet on all the sequences you NEED to know for looking at MRIs!
➡️T1: It’s for anatomy, so brain structures reflect the same color as real life.
🔸So gray matter is gray on T1 & white matter is white on T1.
🔸It’s also for contrast. Contrast is taken up by masses making them light up & easier to see.
➡️T2: It’s the water sensitive sequence.
🔸What is pathologic water in the brain? Edema!
🔸Remember--everything bad in this world is trying to turn you back into what you came from—water!
➡️DWI: Diffusion detects stroke, which are bright on DWI.
🔸But anything that makes space tight in the brain can be bright on diffusion (cellular masses, pus under pressure, etc.)
➡️Gradient: Gradient is sensitive to metals.
🔸What’s the most important metal in body? Iron—bc iron is in blood.
🔸So gradient is our blood sensitive sequence
🌟So remember🌟
▶️T1 is for Anatomy & Contrast
▶️T2 is for Water & Edema
▶️DWI is for stroke
▶️Gradient is for blood
Hopefully, this will help you next time you have an MRI--who says cheaters never win? 😉
We had such a wonderful time at the DHR Urology holiday celebration. It’s always great to spend quality time with our urology family ⚡️✨ Happy Holidays 🎊🎁💕
