The EB-StaR study was published at European Urology today! ✅ It is a randomised study comparing en bloc resection of bladder tumour (ERBT) and conventional transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) in patients with bladder tumour(s) <= 3 cm in size. 🏥 #UroSoMe (1/n)
@MarcusDrakeUrol@EurUrolFocus@EauGuidelines Ok. If we had a known minimum important difference for QoL-score (if possible to determine for QoL) would you have used that instead?
Thank you @UroDocAsh for the tough, teachful and very pleasant discussion in my doctoral dissertation yesterday @UniTurku Thank you for my supervisors @TurkuUroOnc@KaipiaAntti and for the whole team behind all the work!
Latest paper came out in EU Focus! We compared #BCG with monthly maintenance and SWOG protocol: No difference in outcomes but SWOG does it with less BCG. Pt characters and re-resection most important for outcomes. @TurkuUroOnc@KaipiaAntti#urosome

@saarihar Vois kuvitella että tutkimuksen kontrolliryhmään allokoituminen vaatii vähän itsekuria ettei tule kuitenkin sitä omaa rytmiä vähä selvitettyä. Sillee kävi PSA seulonnan jenkkiversiossa, että lopulta molemmat ryhmät oli lähes yhtä seulottuja ja eroa ei tullut esiin.
DIET-20: DIET: CaOx MONOHYDRATE (Whewellite) is mainly due to VERY LOW diuresis, LOW Calcium intake & HIGH Oxalate intake. HYPEROXALURIA represents the main pb. Many sources of Oxalate, so ask your patient which ones he likes!
@weddellite @RSMUrology@MattBultitude @specialkathomas @BEkidneystone In Finland I can either prescribe "official" potassium citrate which costs approx 80€ /mo, OR I can tell The patient to buy a K-citrate from supermarket which costs about 3€/month. Usually I "prescribe" The latter. The former is ER, but is there any other difference?
Nyt mahdollisuus antaa Hesarille palautetta #Apotti-järjestelmästä. Toivottavasti mahdollisimman moni antaa palautetta ja toivottavasti palaute analysoidaan hyvin. @hsfi@NuoriLaakari@stminfo @HUS_uutisoi @Laakariliitto@Laakarilehti

Unsurprising that long-term follow up of #PIVOT finds benefit for prostatectomy. We recently published in @JUrology analysis where we pooled the #SPCG, PIVOT and #ProtecT data, and found consistent risk reduction in mortality. https://t.co/X0AQLYJuZV #clueworkinggroup
BCG immunotherapy is safe and has comparable oncologic outcomes in elderly patients compared to general population . Results of a collaborative study @FPuigvert and Wroclaw medical University @joanfundi@wojciechpiotrk1@AlbertoBreda1
Do you ever use inking of the tumour base after #EnBloc resection of bladder tumour? Last time our pathologist could not identify clearly the tumour base because lab did not cut sagittal through the base, maybe this will help? @so_uro#UroSoMe@PKinnala
