I agree nutrition needs to be taught more but why put the onus on docs to relay that info to the public? We learn what smoking does to the body and tell patients to stop but they still smoke. Why not teach nutrition to everyone in elementary, middle and high school?
.@EDSecMcMahon and I announced that, starting this fall, 53 medical schools across 31 states will deliver at least 40 hours of nutrition education during undergraduate medical training. This landmark reform will transform medical education, equip future physicians to prevent and treat chronic disease, and advance @POTUS’s commitment to end the chronic disease epidemic.

Hiring for another me at VA Boston! 😊 Would love an “all things prostate” partner. Join 5 other full time urologists, two residency programs with 4 residents on service at all times, and be part of the Boston magic. #SoBPD

Only 23% of female urologists have formal lactation policies at work, with 57% satisfied. Surgeons lack adequate lactation resources despite laws. Clear lactation policies are urgently needed. tinyurl.com/25vysj62

Our paper in @JournalCancer was published this week. Exploring definitions of adverse pathology to predict high risk of mets in men with lower risk prostate cancer. Thanks to @SFreedlandMD and the SEARCH team!
Alternate definitions of adverse pathology to predict a very high risk of metastasis in men with intermediate- and low-risk prostate cancer out on @JournalCancer acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wi… Take Home: finding from this study question the clinical value of using AP as an intermediate endpoint in these low- and intermediate-risk PCa populations. Study evaluated the association between adverse pathology (AP) and long-term outcomes in men with low- or favorable intermediate-risk #ProstateCancer (PCa) who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP). Using a cohort from Veterans Affairs hospitals between 1988 and 2020, AP was defined as grade groups 3–5, stage ≥pT3a, or pN1, and compared across seven alternative definitions. The results showed that while all AP definitions were associated with worse outcomes, such as biochemical recurrence (BCR), metastasis, and prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM), the absolute event rates for metastasis were generally low, especially in definitions met by less than 1% of patients. @PerisCast @kuhlrunnings @jithisup @zklaassen_md @LourdesGuerrios @dr_coops @cjkane10 @marthakterris @SFreedlandMD
