Great job @RichMatulewicz Adds additional insight to this important conversation
An 8 year labor of love to get this study complete but it's finally here-- a comprehensive longitudinal assessment of >250,000 @VeteransHealth patients with de novo #microhematuria, details on their cystoscopy evals, and risk factors for MH-related bladder cancer diagnoses.

The summary of a life well lived. His skills, compassion and desire to mentor those around him guided countless physicians throughout his career. What a true joy it’s been to learn from, work with and help build the department with him over the last 25+ years. A real LEGEND!
1/2 Great read from my mentor to go into urology while @bcm_urology that also influenced subsequent residency choice. Great inspiration and road map with mention of @VickersBiostats @easthamja @bbmdmsk @UrologyMSK and many others!

After receiving some questions about our recent @CCR_AACR paper that was mentioned a few times at last week’s @US_FDA workshop on NMIBC trials, it feels important to highlight our data that demonstrates exactly why randomized trials are critical to determine the true clinical benefit of any NMIBC treatments and why we urgently need to move beyond single arm trials for NMIBC drug approval 1/n @ElaineChangMD @chana_weinstock @BladderCancerUS @UrologyMSK @bbmdmsk @bca_md @h_alahmadie aacrjournals.org/clincancerr…

Certainly MIS tech has advanced the surg management of some GU tumors but the role for open surgical skills in our specialty remains. Producing well trained surgeons capable of using whatever tool is needed to best perform the job is our goal @UrologyMSK @UroOnc @AmerUrological
Awesome to see open skills focus

Heading to #AUA26? Don’t miss the Clinical Trials in Progress (CTiP) session. @bbmdmsk and I will be moderating a deep dive as presenters share the raw science and trial designs for the next generation of bladder cancer care - including novel ADCs, gene therapy, and intravesical drug-delivery systems. Your questions and input could help shape these studies before they reach the finish line. See you at the Learning Lab in The Square! #Urology #BladderCancer #MedicalInnovation @AmerUrological
