@UNCurology @AmerUrological @UNC_Lineberger Diligently working with @RichMatulewicz to make smoking cessation part of comprehensive Urologic Oncology care

[Testicular Cancer @TestesCancer]

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Dr. Richard Matulewicz of @MSKCancerCenter @UrologyMSK explores the crucial topic of health-related quality of life in #testicularcancer. He explains how patient-centered outcomes—such as body image, mental health, and fears of recurrence—are reshaping care for a cancer that overwhelmingly affects young men with decades of life ahead of them.

Regardless, we urologists should use #BladderCancer diagnosis as a #teachable moment. As shown in one of our studies and others before @MABjurlin, for BC, 72.1% patients (EU) never talked about cessation with a doctor + only 19.8% of US urologists always discuss smoking cessation
