First Prostate Cancer Early Detection Guidelines for Black Men! Enjoyed being a part of this team to help provide clarity for black men with the best available evidence.
We spoke with Drs. Isla Garraway and @CurtisPettaway1 about their groundbreaking work on prostate cancer screening guidelines for Black men. Their insights shed light on factors like screening age, the PSA test process, and more. Watch the full video: https://t.co/9oxIGdeaCr

Shout out to My Houston Colleagues for accruing this unique study in approx 200 black men showing that a West African Ancestry SNP was an independent predictor of a positive biopsy among black men with an indication for prostate biopsy.

Both robotic and open superficial inguinal node dissection for cN0 penile cancer provide excellent inguinal staging with zero false negatives. See our recent two center experience.

Another important incremental advance in our understanding of the heterogeneity of the biology of penile cancer! A small subset of high TMB patients do exist in the HPV+ cohort that could benefit from ICI
Almost 7% of #PSCC harbored a predicted germline genomic alteration, suggesting the possibility for genetic counselling in selected patients with PSCC

Great opportunity to hear the “back story” on these two trials for urologic oncologists early in their careers to get a real picture of the effort, team work, and challenges that occur when trying to advance the field in an evidence based fashion
Remember to attend our YUO Webinar on 🚨 Tuesday, November 14 at 7pm EST, showcasing the exceptional expertise of @CurtisPettaway1 from @MDAndersonNews and Dr. Seth Lerner from @bcm_urology. Don't miss out!

This is an important incremental study providing prospective data on the use of chemo radiation for advanced Penile cancer! Hearty Congratulations to the Netherlands Group for this nice study😊
@urotoday @Hielke_Martijn @NKI_nl @Brouwer_MD_PhD @IJROBP This is an important study for penile cancer. Toxic chemo is advocated for locoreg adv PSCC but chemorad seems equally effective and tolerable. Prospective rand studies are needed @PGrivasMDPhD @Uromigos @tompowles1 @AndreaNecchi @CurtisPettaway1

Rare but very significant observation! Hopefully we can dissect the biology behind this pattern of metastasis
Penile Cancer does not always metastasise via lymphatics: here we collected data from high volume centers and described corporeal skip metastasis and their poor prognosis. https://t.co/aF98YCeKcq
