Most retrospective studies comparing trimodal therapy and radical cystectomy are at high risk of informative censoring a bias that can artificially favor one treatment over another. @CHematology @ChristianRolfo @OncoAlert

New data on hydro TMT in MIBC 🚨guess that’s why it’s not ideal 👎 📊 74% of patients with pre-existing hydronephrosis still had it post-TMT 💧 21% of patients WITHOUT hydronephrosis developed it after TMT 🧵 52% of new cases needed PCNT drainage…. https://t.co/zh0KLs6y2m

A 🧵 on our recent study on surveillance for IR-NMIBC @EurUrolOncol
https://t.co/trmFp9Yd0y There is limited evidence on follow-up for IR-NMIBC. We used data from >2000 primary Ta–T1 NMIBC to stratify IR-NMIBC by recurrence risk and propose a risk-adapted follow-up approach.
