I express my discontent w/ the recent @AmerUrological diversity press release in this letter. I realize this may ostracize me, but some issues are more important than my career. As such, WE MUST push the AUA to do better. Consider this my call for change.link.medium.com/8TEDMgz4hob

This needs to be combined with RT followed by surgery. May have phenomenal results. Who wants to fund it? @UMichUrology @smkaff #ASCO2018 xitter.cf/MosheOrnsteinMD/status…

Absolutely fantastic. No more arguments. Men deserve prebiopsy prostate MRI now. Great work from @veerukasi @mrsprostate and Mark Emberton @uclmedsci xitter.cf/mrsprostate/status/975…
#PRECISION - 500 man RCT shows power of collaboration ! 28% of men avoided prostate biopsy and MRI-targeted biopsy still detected 38% clinically significant cancer vs 26% in standard biopsy arm. #EAU18 @Uroweb @OfficialNIHR @NEJM @UCLDivofSurgery @ucl @veerukasi @mrsprostate
