Excited to share our latest work, now out in European Urology!
We followed >166k prostate cancer survivors (1999–2019) using SEER-Medicare. RP+EBRT had the highest risk of urinary adverse events. EBRT surpassed RP at 10 yrs (with BT) & 14 yrs (alone).

@ShaneNeibart@ben_breyer@dr_coops@hirenpMD Thanks! We followed Jarosek et al. (PMID: 25217421), requiring matching diagnosis and procedure codes on the same claim.
Re: your second question- ongoing work. Early signals more severe events with radiation, but defining severity objectively is hard. More soon!
Years of work and support went into this study. Grateful to my mentors @ben_breyer@dr_coops@pcarroll_ and incredible co-authors. Special thanks to Marvin Carlisle and Stephanie Jarosek - couldn’t have done this without you!!
Nice SEER-Medicare study from Kevin Li and @ben_breyer lab @UCSFUrology. Bottom line is the RT footprint does expand over the very long term, and we need to track QOL and toxicity for YEARS after #prostatecancer treatment #wsaua24
E-bike injuries doubled every year from 2017-2022, a UCSF study finds. “There’s probably a lot more public education & enforcement of regulations that can happen, particularly w/ helmets and speed limits," UCSF’s Kevin Li (@kevndli) tells @abc7newsbayarea. https://t.co/1n0lhD7KCE
Unique and fun experience working on this paper—now out in @jmirpub! We used ChatGPT to perform qualitative analysis and compared results with humans. Man vs. Machine - is AI the future of qual analysis?@ben_breyer@hirenpMD@RSchwartzPhD@gregamend_md

Our latest work out in @JUrology - we (@hirenpMD@ben_breyer et al. from @researchTURNS) show that social deprivation index at the zip code level is independently associated with stricture recurrence post-urethroplasty. Link: https://t.co/dV3xIrvEcw #SDOH#urology@UCSFUrology
Since 2017, injuries from e-bikes & scooters have soared, a study in @JAMANetworkOpen finds. “Helmet usage is noticeably lower among electric vehicle users, and risky behaviors, such as riding under the influence, are more prevalent,” UCSF’s Kevin Li says. https://t.co/AMvamYTZIT
Our latest research on ebikes/escooters from @ben_breyer lab: https://t.co/ULLxTBESuG
- E-vehicle injuries growing ~exponentially.
- Riskier behavior (less helmets/more alcohol use) in electric vs. conventional vehicle injuries.
- Lower odds of hospital admission in Black riders.
Charlie Jones, MD, joined @UCSFUrology and @UCSF_Epibiostat researchers to evaluate patient perceptions of Medicare reimbursement for artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) placement for @JUrology's Urology Practice: https://t.co/9eYjg8WImn
@ec0anarch0 Great observation - e-bikes can also impact pedestrians and other cyclists. We didn’t cover this aspect, but the data are publicly available and include brief narrative descriptions. You can explore here: https://t.co/23TYDmrUVx
Happy to share our research on e-bike injuries and hospitalizations published in @JAMASurgery. Thanks to @ben_breyer @DataCooker @hirenpMD for your mentorship and Adrian for partnering!

Proud to present our latest work about the fragility index in clinical trials relevant to overactive bladder drugs. An interesting index that quantifies the vulnerability of clinical trials. Kudos @kevndli for leading this effort and ofcourse @ben_breyer for mentorship! @UCSFUrology
@DrJohnVanSavage@UCSFUrology Not in our case report, but some of the papers we reviewed reported robotic approaches (PMID: 36808427, 34987764, 30093358)!
Proud to share our findings on use of @Cxbladder Monitor during the #COVID19 pandemic to allow bladder cancer patients to skip in-person surveillance cystoscopy w/ negative test. Huge thanks to mentors @SimaPorten@CChuMD et al. for the support and guidance!
