We have always known that 🚬 is not only associated with #bladdercancer incidence but worse outcomes .. our study now hints at #microbiome role in smoking associated chemicals (PAH) degradation by specific bacteria found ⬆️⬆️ bca pts https://t.co/VmE4RJ4x0A @EurUrolOncol

2) Here and elsewhere, the impact of having a largely homogeneous leadership team is apparent. This issue has undoubtedly been discussed internally for weeks, and the AUA's position is markedly different from medical societies with more diverse boards.
A few thoughts on yesterday's statement from @AmerUrological:
1) Clearly an effort to appease rather than lead, with 1 sentence for those who think this isn't the AUA's domain and 1 for those who think it is. The result is a conflicting statement which misses the mark. (1/5)
Based on the success of the April & May issues of UROLOGY devoted to DEI I am pleased to announce a new regular monthly section of @urogoldjournal devoted to these topics to be led by @yawnyame, who joins our Editorial Board as Associate Editor. Please send us your manuscripts!
71% response with median duration of response of 2 years for BCG unresponsive CIS patients receiving N-803. Also fantastic response for papillary patients. Presented by Karim Chamie @UclaUrology
Extremely well-tolerated. #aua22#bladdercancer
3 armed Syracuse cops arrest a 10-year-old Black child for allegedly stealing a $1 bag of chips. Why does Ethan Couch go free after violently killing 4 people but a Black child gets arrested over a bag of chips?
Reckless & disgusting white supremacy.
