🔻 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.

Dr Jennifer Griggs #ASCOQLTY26 on how to improve value & quality on a healthsystem level.
My key takeaway from this incredible talk:
"What is breaking your heart?"
If you want to create meaningful change, you have to focus on measuring what matters... & then try to improve it.
