It never ceases to amaze me that I work with a fantastic group of people who helped me put this together in three hours. Thanks @wandering-gu.bsky.social for answering questions about former President Joseph Biden’s diagnosis: michmed.org/WXXej.

Great working with Patrick Squires and the Merck team on this MIBC RWA #gu25 @ascocancer.bsky.social

Sheesh! #GU25 @ascocancer.bsky.social

We're hiring a PhD clinical psychologist or social worker! Looking for an energetic, passionate faculty colleague whose role would be to lead the clinical and research component of our survivorship program. Sexual health certification is desired. careers.umich.edu/job_detail/2...

In Memory of Dr Felix Feng, our beloved friend and a giant in prostate cancer @ericsmall.bsky.social @ucsfcancer.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

So excited about this work, led by UMich Pathologist Cathryn Lapedis. We're accustomed to providing patients with reports that are uninterpretable to them, then having a subsequent decoding discussion. What happens when we make the reports understandable the first time [email protected]

Fascinating! “Most study participants (44-61%) could not extract basic information—including whether they have cancer—from standard prostate cancer pathology reports but [in contrast] 93% were able to understand this diagnostic information from” patient-centered pathology reports

I've published literally hundreds of studies, but this one will always be special. I'm so proud to have helped Dr. Cathryn Lapedis show so convincingly how BAD current prostate biopsy pathology reports are compared to a simple patient-centered design. PLUS: my first JAMA article ever!

Thrilled to announce that my dear friend and colleague, Jay Simhan, MD, FACS, has been named Chair of Urology at Temple University Hospital! I’m thrilled to partner as two departments under the Fox Chase-Temple Urologic Institute to elevate our already world-class program to even greater heights!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!

So fun to go on Backtable Urology and highlight the work of the AUA/ASTRO/SUO prostate cancer salvage therapy guidelines committee. open.spotify.com/episode/7EwC...

It is with great sadness that we mourn our cherished friend and colleague Felix Feng, MD. Felix was a distinguished physician-scientist and beloved at @ucsfhealth.bsky.social. His vision, dedication, and commitment inspired colleagues, peers everywhere, and patients. cancer.ucsf.edu/in-memoriam-...

Huge kudos to the NCCN for officially incorporating prostate cancer into the Genetic/Familial High-Risk Assessment Guidelines. We've come a long way!

So proud that my mom--after an amazing career in journalism--is still able to write stuff like this 😍 www.seattletimes.com/opinion/my-v... @seattletimes.bsky.social @pancan.bsky.social

Happy to share our GWAS of hydrocele. We found that key developmental genes are associated with this common adult phenotype 🧪 #urology #SurgSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Josh is by far one of the greatest minds in bladder cancer. When he speaks you should listen. Changing the game.

Huge need to get away from single arm trials in local therapy for cancer, in general. Often hard to get funding. But let’s be creative. And most importantly, let’s (physicians) not be the barrier to learning. Optimizing #cancer treatment should not be a guessing game. #science for the win🥇

New SUO-CTC NMIBC research fellowship announced, funded by CG Oncology. Incredible credit to Ambaw Bellete 👏👏 and SUO-CTC leadership. #SUO24
