A wonderful guy & incredible urologist. Legendary @TeamUrology resident & faculty before heading west to a stellar career & family. Kingston, Calgary & Canadian urology are hurting but fondly remembering today. You rule JK 🙏🤘

Dr. Jun Kawakami May 24, 1973 - August 30, 2021 We are truly saddened to learn that our community has lost one of its finest urologists. He will be missed. Our condolences to the Kawakami family.

Baffled why this paper is not getting more attention. ERSPC results not explained by differences in treatment received. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3092…

Could Differences in Treatment Between Trial Arms Explain the Reduction in Prostate Cancer Mortal...

This study shows that prostate cancer deaths in the European screening trial (European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer) were prevented because men were diagnosed and treated earlier...

New paper by Ross et al showing a novel radical cystectomy SSI prevention bundle decreased the rate of incisional SSIs by 80%. Highly effective strategy to prevent significant morbidity in these pts @Lukelavallee @rhankb @ottdoc @icagiannos @uOttawaUrology authors.elsevier.com/c/1bFFZ…

Brings back such amazing memories of growing up a die-hard Expo fan. Watched or listened to every game. Loved the Hawk.

We have been swabbing all patients before surgery at UHN/Sinai/WCH. Three positives so far, surgery cancelled. Swabbing protects patients, healthcare workers, and PPE supplies. While not full proof, surgical patients would be a good group for widespread swabbing. @fordnation

Cohort of 34 asymptomatic patients who underwent elective surgery and developed COVID-19 postop. None swabbed preop. Symptoms developed 2.6 days post op. Seven (20%) died. Implications for preop evaluation? thelancet.com/journals/eclin…

In this retrospective cohort study of 34 operative patients with confirmed COVID-19, 15 (44·1%) patients needed ICU care, and the mortality rate was 20·5%.

Agree. A missed opportunity for sure as mixed results from scattered case series have caused the demise of BCG/IFN. We have many grateful patients who still have their bladder many years later who can thank this drug combo. Onward and hopefully upward with IO and viral trials.
Rod Breau@RodBreau19 Oct 2019
As BCG/Interferon falls out of our armamentarium, tough to reconcile with the fairly large numbers of patients in Ottawa with durable salvage with this treatment. I wonder if we missed an opportunity for RCT on a good treatment. @Lukelavallee @ottdoc @icagiannos
