Excited to write this @ASCO #dailynews article highlighting our work by @nickolastab et al regarding the implications of our new prostate cancer-specific calculator: ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/OP-… @ICOSociety @GACancerCenter @neerajaiims
Patients with #prostatecancer are now living long enough for cardiovascular disease to become a major concern, yet disease prevention remains difficult to operationalize. In a new editorial for #ASCODailyNews, @avirupguha seeks a practical path forward: bit.ly/4qyZj1L

Hydrogel spacer placement for prostate radiotherapy: a urology residency training experience. @zklaassen_md @GACancerCenter joins @l_ballas @CedarsSinai sharing insights from ~250 Barrigel® cases since 2022, highlighting improved resident training with real-time, pausable injection vs SpaceOAR. Barrigel® also shows reduced ≥grade 2 acute GI toxicity. 5/8 trainees now use spacers in practice. #WatchNow on UrtoToday > bit.ly/4euqrKB @Barrigel_spacer

When was the last time you checked your back? Melanomas can develop in hard-to-see spots and may be found later. Take a few minutes this week to do a skin check or ask someone to help. Early detection saves lives. #MelanomaMonday #EarlyDetection #IMPACTMelanoma
