MRI-based PSAD is a strong, independent predictor of adverse pathology and for men with an MRI visible lesion the risk inflection point is a PSAD of >0.1...way lower threshold than the old text books! Check out our new pub. authors.elsevier.com/c/1nSI0…
Bladder cancer outcomes keep getting better. More people with muscle invasive bladder cancer will be cured! #MIBC #EVPembro @AstellasUS @pfizer @Merck @BladderCancerUS youtube.com/watch?v=HqqkfXpp…
There is now randomized data demonstrating en bloc bladder tumor resection reduces recurrence rates when used for primary resection. Here is my last en bloc case, uncut ~3.5 minutes start to finish (in 2x speed). The new standard of care? I think so! @CedarsSinai #Bladdercancer
The value of PSA density in detecting prostate cancer is even more pronounced in the context of an MRI visible lesion. Great example, PSAD >0.2 + MRI visible lesion means targeted biopsy alone is ok! journals.lww.com/auajuro/ful…

Recently had a patient with a 1000 gram prostate. Check out this publication on how we managed the KILOGLAND! doi.org/10.1016/j.eucr.2025.…

CancerBetter (my YouTube channel) just surpassed 10k subscribers.
I go over medical studies in a understandable way to help people with cancer find the best care possible. The reality is all health care is not equal and with education people can optimize their care!
#GUASCO 2024 was a great meeting again. Our field is evolving so quickly and patients are getting better options everyday. The cherry on top is getting to mentor the next generation. @rushilrawal
These comments are why I spend my free time running Cancer Better. Having an understanding of what you are dealing with helps people with acceptance and to make sure they are getting good care.

Very proud of our resident @PerisCast for her excellent work on bladder cancer biomarkers which can predict treatment outcomes as part of the bladder cancer team @CedarsSinai frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

There is a new kind of the hill when it comes to detecting prostate cancer metastasis. For those who want a brief review of the literature on PSMA PET Scans vs Bone Scan + CT.
*Spoiler alert, PSMA scans are way better but not perfect! @Cancerbetter

Focal Therapy can be a great option for the treatment of prostate cancer. In this video we discuss how it's great and also how it can fail. youtu.be/cd_t0KlCJh4 – at Los Angeles, CA

I'm loving laser en bloc TURBT, Here's a video from a recent case I did with a big tumor.
Pros: Less blood loss, information about margin status, lower perforation risk, no obturator reflex, accurate staging.
@CancerBetter, @chadritchmd, @dipenjparekh
There are A LOT of exciting treatments in the world of bladder cancer on the horizon. I recently co-authroed a paper with @Dan_Theodorescu looking at the most exciting ones!!! #bladdercancer @BladderCancerUS
