@JGrummet So true

@daviesbj @drrachelrubin @DrMorgentaler Indeed. Thanks to @DrMorgentaler for reminding us to what we are working for.

Great article from @UCSFUrology on men with GG1 PC which are upgraded to GG2 on AS and continue on AS. Significant portion of men remain free of tx. Low volume GG2 was once a trigger for tx but is now considered appropriate for AS if on the diagnostic or surveillance biopsy

TP #prostatebiopsy does NOT require quinolone or multi-drug prophylaxis. And may not need any antibiotics at all.

This comparison of free-hand vs grid-based transperineal prostate biopsy showed fewer complications, better efficiency, and less anesthesia.

Although use of active surveillance has increased over time, 2018 data from the AQUA registry show only 55% of patients with low risk #prostatecancer managed with AS @pcarroll_ #aua21

Studies also show zero/near zero sepsis in transperineal biopsy with either NO antibiotic prophylaxis or single shot cephazolin.

@chriseden99 An open retropubic radical prostatectomy would probably do for such a case. Less OR time, less risk for the patient with equal results. But probably would not match for the „challenge of the year“

Still marvelling that we managed to sneak this emoji into a scientific publication!

But we hope it attracts your attention to this serious issue in #PatientSafety.

Great work to underline the significant impact of office based transperineal prostate biopsy on cost reduction without impairing cancer detection! https://t.co/C75WV4lofQ
