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
Melanoma is the 2nd highest cancer among 15–29-year-olds.
Through #BeSkinSmart, DIGA students lead peer education and sun safety efforts on college campuses to help reduce risk early.

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
#MelanomaMonday Fact
Skin cancer, including melanoma, can affect people of every skin tone. No one is immune.
Check your skin regularly, and don’t ignore new, changing, or unusual spots.

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.
