🧵 We wrote this paper on prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment in the USA.
The TLDR figure is here (n=716,830 [!]):
🔻 Moderate declines in low-risk prostate cancer diagnoses (top panels)
🔻🔻🔻 Massive decline in how many of those patients are going on to treatment (bottom panels).

Presented at #ESMO26:
In patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, event-free survival at 24 months was 63.5% with perioperative durvalumab plus neoadjuvant enfortumab vedotin as compared with 45.1% with surgery alone. Full phase 3 VOLGA trial results: nej.md/4z7dQFm

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps:
-It’s ‘sleight of hand’
-It’s ‘bated breath’
-It’s ‘lo and behold’
-It's 'buck naked'
-It’s ‘brass tacks’
-It’s ‘free rein’
-It’s ‘toe the line'

It’s with mixed emotions and deep gratitude that I will be leaving USC after 17 years to begin a new exciting chapter @UclaUrology as Director of the Institute of Urologic Oncology and Division Chief of Urologic Oncology. Forever thankful for the trainees, colleagues and patients who have shaped my journey. Grateful to @uroegg and @UCLAHealth leadership for their confidence and vision, and excited to build on their remarkable legacy of excellence.

Beautiful on both sides of North Carolina today.
We live in a great place.
Excited to have our @UNCurology crew involved in this work--huge thanks to @zach_feuer and @GopiLNarang
During #HealthcareQualityWeek, we’re highlighting the work underway through the Age-Friendly Approaches to Specialty Ambulatory Care grant from the Council of Medical Specialty Societies linkedin.com/company/council… (CMSS), with funding from The John A. Hartford Foundation linkedin.com/company/johnaha….
As part of our project, Expanding Age-Friendly Approaches to Urology Care, we are working with urology practices to pilot a urology-specific implementation guide for the Age-Friendly Health Systems 4Ms Framework—What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility.
The pilot will help us refine practical resources that support age-friendly care across the urology community.
