Team science at its very best with @max_diehn @AshAlizadeh @Kevinjliu_ @williamyshi @StanfordUrology @StanfordRadOnc @StanfordCancer @NatureMedicine demonstrating uRARE-seq as a promising #LiquidBiopsy tool for #BladderCancer and other GU cancers.
Excited to share our new study describing uRARE-seq, a tumor-naive #LiquidBiopsy method for analyzing urine cell-free RNA (cfRNA) in #BladderCancer and other genitourinary cancers. Out today in @NatureMedicine 🧵 1/16 rdcu.be/bRoXk7REWtRa

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year's Early-Career Investigator Workshop (ECIW) this past weekend! 👏
From mock study sections and grant-funding guidance to peer mentorship and elevator-pitch sessions, the weekend was filled with valuable learning, collaboration, and feedback to support the next generation of urologic researchers.
We're grateful to our faculty mentors for sharing their expertise and to the investigators whose enthusiasm and engagement made the workshop a success!

Excited to introduce uRARE-Seq for detection and monitoring of bladder cancers and beyond.
Eager to see how this new liquid biopsy tool can change the course of these diseases and overcome the unmet needs of patients with these challenging genitourinary cancers.

Kudos to Mamta Parikh, MD (@UCD_Cancer) & @ADESAIONCMD (@UCSFCancer), in association w @ANCO_News, for initiating the 1st #NorCal GU Research Forum. Modeled after the #SoCal meeting started by me & @siadaneshmand w @TDorffOnc, @AmarUKishan, @DrRanaMcKay & others ~5y ago now, this is going to be a phenomenal session in which the major centers across #NorCal convene to share insights on available regional #clinicaltrials.
Great to see a tremendous list of GU experts on the agenda, incl (but not limited to!) @snseyedinMD, @mdallera, @johnleppert, @sandysrimd, @sumitshahMD, @SimaPorten, @koshkin85, @DrTFriedlander, @DivyaParikhMD & so many others!

Physicians have dealt with a 29% real decline in Medicare reimbursements over the past two decades, even as practice expenses (like staffing, equipment, and malpractice insurance) have risen faster than inflation
This proposed cut is akin to telling a factory worker, “Great job automating the line to boost output. Here’s a pay cut because you’re too productive now.”
Urology community: make your voice heard now. Like and retweet… extend the reach. Don’t assume others will do it.
HUGELY IMPORTANT

CMS is looking to cut procedural reimbursement by 2.5% on the presumption that we are becoming more efficient.
