So humbled and honored. Really looking forward to hearing the presentations from the fellow. YUO Society of Urologic Oncology Thank you for the invitation!!

This is a fantastic opportunity for medical students interested in urology! A great chance to meet with some awesome leaders and people and do some pretty cool research.

🙌 Enfortumab vedotin + pembro as 1st-line tx for metastatic #UrothelialCancer yields response rate of 73.3%, duration of response 25.6 mo, overall survival 26.1 mo. 👉 fal.cn/3sEjU #JCO #blcsm #kcsm #gucsm Jonathan Rosenberg MD

Iranian women are among the most educated and accomplished around the world. Help support the movement #mahsaamini #womenofiran #womensrights #iranpotests instagram.com/p/CjN0fKorqXJ/…

We fully join President Folt in our support of, and admiration for the brave Iranian women and men who continue to risk their lives for basic rights. Freedom, dignity, and respect are human rights.

Dean Carolyn Meltzer and SVP Steven Shapiro

Iranian academics are under attack. We call on all academics to defend faculty and students in Iran, and demand the immediate release of all students from the prisons of the regime.

My academic colleagues, I expect all of you to sign this statement.

Indeed well done trial. 👏 Several caveats to consider: #1 Vast majority IR highlighted by Saum Ghodoussipour #2 low CIS (11-13%) where BL best. #3 wide CI 0.69-1.28 #4 BL performed once at start. RFS curves in favor of BL up to 12-15 mos. Would RFS have diverged if f/u also done with BL?

Oldies but goodies. Stephen Boorjian, MD Mayo Clinic Urology USC series ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15538242 Mayo series. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17631342 Some with limited nodes can be cured. We still see them in clinic!

Agree with esteemed colleagues. If intraperitoneal but recognized immediately and case aborted is ex lap or drain mandatory? Perhaps some can be managed conservatively as well.

DrBagrodia Sam S. Chang MD, MBA Sia Daneshmand, M.D. Anne Schuckman Amir Salmasi Eugene Pietzak Solomon Woldu Jay B. Shah Angie Smith Agree with DrBagrodia If extraperitoneal, just a cath until healed (confirm with cystogram). If resection was incomplete, go back and finish resection once healing is complete.

I don’t keep them abx just cover when the cath is removed.

Sumanta Pal Uromigos 💙alison birtle Tom Powles Neeraj Agarwal Brian Rini, MD Sia Daneshmand, M.D. Vadim Koshkin MD Very interesting indeed! An unmet need to do novel biomarker-driven adjuvant trials like PROOF-302 trial exploring the role of FGFR inhibition in pts with FGFR3 alterations.

I always wear a suit to daily rounds and in clinic. Some patients ask me if I’m the surgeon!

Really to proud to be a speaker at the first #sogocon meeting in Bangalore, #india , next week.

🔊🔊Great expert panel Vedang Murthy Amar Kishan Sia Daneshmand, M.D. Prof Ananya💙

✌️Thanks a lot Vedang Murthy for this invitation.

Agree w many points my esteemed colleagues brought up. I don't see it as a 'versus' issue & the era of comparisons nearing the end. Diff operations require diff tools and surgeon skills. We should adapt to meet our patient needs. Many complex issues still require open skill set.

I primarily train fellows (grads of very good residency’s) and in no way have we noticed that the robot has led to better overall surgical competencies. Robotic skills are better developed compared to open due to reps. IMHO however overall competency has not been improved.

One of uro onc’s brightest stars ..
