Your patient has had nephrectomy for high-risk clear cell RCC. The next decision: Surveillance, Pembrolizumab, or Pembrolizumab + belzutifan. Is adjuvant justified when surgery may already have been curative? Our new commentary explores this dilemma. 🧵bit.ly/4jkism6

Recurrent bladder cancer is rarely as simple as treating the next tumor. Every recurrence raises a new decision: watch, treat in the office, or head back to the OR? On this episode of the BackTable Urology Podcast, Dr. Charles Peyton (@ccp1983) joins Dr. Ruchika Talwar (@RuchikaTalwarMD) to discuss the evolving management of recurrent low-grade, intermediate-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. They cover everything from office-based management and repeat TURBTs to patient-reported outcomes, recurrence patterns, and the role of newer therapies like UGN-102. Throughout the discussion, one message remains clear: caring for recurrent NMIBC isn't just about treating the next tumor. It's about understanding the patient, the disease, and the decisions that shape long-term care. 🔗 Check out the full episode → backtable.com/shows/urology/… #URO323 #BladderCancer #NMIBC #UrologicOncology #TURBT #BladderCancerAwareness @UABUrology @VUMChealth

Do you give intravascular heparin bolus prior to clamping for IVC thrombectomy? @UABUrology teamed up with @AydinAMurat and univ Arkansas examin outcomes. Great work team. Bottom line: case specific use at discretion of surgical team is all good! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
