After receiving some questions about our recent @CCR_AACR paper that was mentioned a few times at last week’s @US_FDA workshop on NMIBC trials, it feels important to highlight our data that demonstrates exactly why randomized trials are critical to determine the true clinical benefit of any NMIBC treatments and why we urgently need to move beyond single arm trials for NMIBC drug approval 1/n

Certainly MIS tech has advanced the surg management of some GU tumors but the role for open surgical skills in our specialty remains. Producing well trained surgeons capable of using whatever tool is needed to best perform the job is our goal

An exceptional experience! Truly a privilege to have so many people invest their time and resources into our training.
Great effort by all. Closely proctored course consists of:
Renal vascular isolation
Partial nephrectomy
RPLND
Pelvic vascular control
IVC and aortic vascular repair
Ureteroenteric anastomosis
Ureteral repair
bowel handling/stapling
Great learning, bonding and social interaction

Incredible experience with @UrologyMSK @HartfordHealthC CESI: major vascular repair, RPLND & open partial nephrectomy techniques, GU recon, and more. Great time sharpening skills with co-fellows and learning from world-class faculty
A stellar week at our @UrologyMSK open skills training program. Thx @HartfordHealthC CESI center for partnering @MSKCancerCenter @VinceDAndreaMD @NFryden @SeanFletcherMD

Great job @aghasemzadeh1 on this ASCO YIA. Terrific collaboration between Jeff Ravitch @juanosoriomd @RockefellerUniv @MSKCancerCenter to improve our understanding of the immune environment of #bladdercancer
@DrRosenbergMSK @eugene_pietzak
Deeply honored to have been awarded an ASCO Young Investigator Award @ConquerCancerFd. Grateful to my mentors @bbmdmsk and Dr. Jeffrey Ravetch for their guidance and support.

Heading to #AUA26? Don’t miss the Clinical Trials in Progress (CTiP) session.
@bbmdmsk and I will be moderating a deep dive as presenters share the raw science and trial designs for the next generation of bladder cancer care - including novel ADCs, gene therapy, and intravesical drug-delivery systems.
Your questions and input could help shape these studies before they reach the finish line.
See you at the Learning Lab in The Square!

Great learning today! Thank you so much for the program and excellent teaching @Olympus_Corp @bbmdmsk @DrJohnSfakianos @JoshMeeks
Residents @hunterhasley and @asherkgeorge polished their skills in endoscopic management of bladder cancer this weekend at @Olympus_Corp TURBT course with @bbmdmsk @DrJohnSfakianos @JoshMeeks!

Highly recommend this course to trainees. Performing a quality TURBT is an undepreciated skill that has major implications for our patients. The models are exceptional! @Olympus_Corp @JoshMeeks @bbmdmsk

TURBT is one of the most impt surgical skills in managing #bladdercancer
2026 course was another big success. Thank you @olympusamerica for your support
Incredible group of residents fellows and attendings there this year. Thx @JoshMeeks and John Sfakianos for helping teach

We showed urine cytology/utDNA is a better marker of MRD in high risk NMIBC and a 20% eradication of CIS from TUR alone. Important implications for BCG unresponsive trials @UrologyMSK @eugene_pietzak @MaxKates @bbmdmsk @predicine

Not true. RC and a thorough PLND cures about 1/3 of node bladderCA pts with surgery ALONE. S1011 enrolled relatively low risk pts (their control performed 10% better than designed) and expected an unrealistically large benefit from the ePLND (10% ⬆️3 yr RFS)=poor design.

Can we please put to rest the idea that treating lymph nodes helps patients with cancer live longer? Once again, we see no meaningful benefit and only harms—this time in a phase III RCT for bladder cancer. @QuadShotNews nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2…

COMPLICATIONS: S1011 reported the highest gr3-5 comp rate of any published cystectomy series, 2x higher than most contemp surgical RCTs (44% in the control arm!). A German multicent trial found appr 1/2 the Gr3-5 complic rate and NO diff in morb or mortality with ePLND v sPLND

This study does not rule out the importance of the PLND for bladder cancer patients
