Hydrogel spacer placement for prostate radiotherapy: a urology residency training experience. @zklaassen_md @GACancerCenter joins @l_ballas @CedarsSinai sharing insights from ~250 Barrigel® cases since 2022, highlighting improved resident training with real-time, pausable injection vs SpaceOAR. Barrigel® also shows reduced ≥grade 2 acute GI toxicity. 5/8 trainees now use spacers in practice. #WatchNow on UrtoToday > bit.ly/4euqrKB @Barrigel_spacer

Cardiovascular prevention in #prostatecancer needs tools that actually fit oncology workflows. We built externally validated PC-specific risk scores for ASCVD, heart failure, and CVD using variables already available in cancer clinics. Introducing the GUHA-STABELLINI score

Rectal spacers in prostate radiotherapy: Balancing efficacy, safety, and patient experience. Michael Greenberg, MD @JeffersonUniv & @DanWelchons @AMPofNY join @zklaassen_md @GACancerCenter to discuss rectal spacing before #ProstateCancer radiotherapy. They trace the product evolution from SpaceOAR's pegylated hydrogel to Barrigel®. #WatchNow on UroToday > bit.ly/4cfWBs6 @Barrigel_spacer @teleflex

Trials in #ProstateCancer and #KidneyCancer featured at #ASCO26. @DrRanaMcKay @UCSanDiego joins @zklaassen_md @GACancerCenter previewing 5 #ASCO2026 #GUOncology trials, including PROTEUS, TALAPRO-3, and RaqdiCaL. From perioperative apalutamide in high-risk prostate cancer to PARP AR targeting in HRR-mutated mCSPC and radium-223 in RCC with bone mets, these studies could reshape practice. #WatchNow on UroToday > bit.ly/3RTYPFP @ASCO

Last week, @ZhuPeipei presented her research on neutrophils during a Research in Progress presentation hosted by the @GACancerCenter. Neutrophils comprise more than 60% of white blood cells that repair the body from infection and help heal tissue. #research #immunology
