Still reflecting on an inspiring #ASCO26 session for IMG oncologists. “Where you start does not define where you can go” was a powerful message from Dr. @AbiSivaMD and a reminder of the importance of mentorship and community in building a career in oncology as an IMG. #IMGoncCoP @IMG_Oncologists

Excited to share our study on rural-urban disparities in early-stage GU cancer management, now published online in @UrolOncol. Using SEER data, we found persistent geographic differences in surgical approach for kidney cancer and receipt of definitive therapy for prostate cancer, despite clear NCCN guidelines. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #MedTwitter #Oncology #UroOnc #HealthEquity

Excited to present our work on rural disparities in the management of cT1a renal masses at #NCCN2026 Among surgically managed patients, guideline-concordant nephron-sparing care remains unevenly accessible.

Excited to share an invited editorial in @JCOOP_ASCO highlighting themes from our work on underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic men in advanced prostate cancer clinical trials. Grateful to my coauthors/mentors and hopeful this adds urgency to improving transparency, eligibility, and access so trials better reflect the patients we treat. doi:10.1200/OP-25-01225 Full editorial 👇🏻
