Using low cost models they designed, @DBBayneMD and @_ashwin_bala lead simulation workshops with East African urologists to teach skills in flexible ureteroscopy and ultrasound guided PCNL. The models will be used locally for ongoing training.

With a text-message reminder and education program for prostate biopsy patients, we reduced overall canceled or rescheduled appointments by 37% (33.8% vs 21.2%, P<.001) and same-day cancellations by 87% (3.8% vs 0.5%, P<.001). @anobelodisho @pcarroll_ @haognguyen

Our results support safety of AS for patients with GG1 and select patients with GG2 at dx. Men with GG2 and 2+ high grade cores at dx may benefit from earlier curative treatment. #AUA19 @pcarroll_ @dr_coops @UCSFUrology

Thanks @urotoday for sharing our work, which shows low treatment-guideline compliance for patients with cT1 bladder cancer. However, there is a trend toward increased use of guideline-based treatment (BCG or upfront RC). @SimaPorten @SamWashUro @Uro_Max
