👇 The majority of high-risk kidney cancer patients (by KN564 criteria) are cured by nephrectomy alone. We need to determine who benefits from immunotherapy after resection. Read our @ASCO daily news summary of where we are at for adjuvant biomarkers in RCC
It's actually wild to me that people try to compare Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. One city is legitimately important in terms of U.S. history. One city puts French fries in their sandwiches.
Nice presentation from Ben Horton @KPMG on network-wide rates of #prostatecancer screening and incidence of disease and stage IV disease over time. Hard to draw _causal_ conclusion w/r/t USPSTF, but they def picked the wrong time to advise "D". #wsaua24
Had an amazing time with @caseydauw as our Fall @UCDavisUrology VP. Such impactful work by @MUSICUrology ROCKS. Inspiring and driving patient outcomes through truly impressive collaboration. @UMichUrology
1/5: Are large and small kidney cancers genomically the same? Of course not! But do small ccRCCs with aggressive mutations behave worse? Almost certainly.

🔥#ASCO24 sobering results from our recent effort
➡️Wildfires are a huge health hazard in some states, including California
➡️Research suggests that exposure to wildfire smoke, which contains fine particulate matter (PM2.5), may worsen outcomes of pts with cancer
➡️We decided to explore the effects of wildfire PM2.5 on GU cancer survival in the state of California
➡️We noted trends toward worse outcomes in several, significant in #kidneycancer, where daily PM2.5 concentration in the “moderate” range (details in poster below) had a 7.5% increased death hazard compared to those in the “good”HR=1.075; 95% CI= 1.006-1.149.
