Congratulations to @AJCuro for winning @brady_urology teaching award this year! An amazing teacher and surgeon. What an honor!

[John W. Davis, MD @jdhdavis]

Wellness therapy for our @MDAndersonNews uro-onc fellows. Nice to host some of our upcoming clinical fellows to our Lake Conroe retreat. Another great program idea from @ChapinMD.

@marthpodi @NCCN @VickersBiostats 4 positive cores of the same MRI lesion is not the same as 4 cores in 4 quadrants. I’ve drunk the Uroegg koolaid, if no GG2 after MRI or MRI fusion one therapy (AS) far outweighs the others.

@NatRevUrol @urogoldjournal Well done @joelWackerbarth! More evidence against using tramadol like water

Proud of this paper, in collaboration w @MayoUrology @UChicagoUrology @SBoorjian @garysteinbergmd @labbdoc @RyanWerntzMD

🔹378 pts w NMIBC ➡️ BCG ➡️ +/- salvage tx ➡️ cystectomy
🔹Onc outcomes similar w salvage tx

⚠️Pt selection critical, important for counseling for trials

A testament to the enduring spirit of mankind. No AUS available? Just clamp it...

#ThrowbackThursday: A simple device, the penile clamp is mainly used by incontinent men to prevent urine leakage. This incontinence clamp was designed to apply pressure to the male urethra. #DiduschMuseum

Big shout out to my coauthors @NorthShoreUro @UroFantusy for latest publication. https://t.co/Y5rwMTRpLO
Germline SNPs are associated with earlier detection of clinically significant prostate ca.

While I am a Luddite and anti-visual abstract, this is a nice one. Clearly Europe has much better cost control than the US. RP for 5,000€!

[Hein Van Poppel @heinvanpoppel]

The costs for a #prostatecancer treatment for 1 man can be as much as €300,000.

Late detection is one of the major causes of these enormous costs.

[Craig Labbate @labbdoc]

Prostate leading the way in another category. I suspect the numbers would be different if excluding INeRRT Gleason 6 tumors. @uroegg @Adam_Weiner535

PSA: There is no "n" in Malecot.

The French surgeon Achille Etienne Malecot designed the catheter in Paris in the 1880s for use as a self-retaining suprapubic tube to manage urinary stone disease.

The 5 stages of surgical retraction:

1. I hold retractor for boss. No idea.
2. I hold retractor for boss. I understand it all!
3. Boss holds retractor, I do surgery. Easy!
4. Junior holds retractor, I do surgery. Hard!
5. I hold retractor for junior. They feel awesome.

[Craig Labbate @labbdoc]

Seconded. Initial steps done in prostate. Next steps: how do we incorporate these models into clinical decision making? @jxu8088 @SFreedlandMD

"Before polygenic scores can be translated into clinical practice they will need to be extensively validated in clinical and population-based cohorts for their ability to predict meaningful outcomes that can be modified with intervention" Via @JAMA_current https://t.co/FaCG3yfB1z

[Craig Labbate @labbdoc]

Ask 3 Qs: why do it? Will it change management? Most importantly: does it change outcomes? Omitting frz section prior to ONB leads to no increased urethral recurrence

[Ryan Werntz @RyanWerntzMD]

Challenging dogma..need a urethral frozen section prior to neobladder? I think not. @labbdoc @theVig245 @siadaneshmand @Agarwal_CaB The Impact of Omission of Intraoperative Frozen Section Prior to Orthotopic Neobladder | The Journal of Urology https://t.co/6iyUTgo9wO

Paperwork has always been part of life, but this is a real opportunity for innovation...and not more electronics. less documenting, more doing!
