Work Hard. Play Hard. A great wellness day filled with education and fun for #MUSCStreamTeam . We hosted the brilliant mind @adamkibel_uro as our MUSC Urology Visiting Professor 2026, followed by some pickleball fun/competition. @MUSC_Urology @MUSC_UroOnc @SES_AUA @EMW2000

Strong showing from @MUSC_UroOnc at the Prostate Cancer 2026 Conference from the Hollings Cancer Center. Proud to see Drs. Savage, Grubb, Chavali, Medina, and Wallen representing our department and sharing their expertise in prostate cancer care, research, and innovation. @EMW2000 @MatveyTsivian @JayChavaliMD @JL_Drerup @SES_AUA @UroOnc @SUO_YUO @GenevaMaeP @blally_md @muschollings @LuisMedinaMD

148 penile SCC pts w/ unilateral palpable nodes: ▪️ 44% had bilateral ILNM ▪️ 5/60 (8.4%) w/ no risk factors (>2 nodes, LVI, Poor diff - AUC 0.982) 💡 Should DSNB/SILND be considered in carefully selected low-risk pts ? Excellent work by @kevaluroonco and team leading this effort. 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @MUSC_UroOnc @muschollings @GCRI_1972 @GTumors

Excellent bladder cancer session with good friends at the Emory Advances in Urology led by Dr Joshi!

🚨Publication Alert Can we avoid bilateral ILND in penile SCC pts with unilateral palpable nodes? 🤔 If you're wondering — read this new study from @kevaluroonco team, and featuring our own @LuisMedinaMD. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.ejso… @EMW2000 @MatveyTsivian @benvstone @JayChavaliMD @JL_Drerup @MUSChealth @muschollings @MUSC_Urology @GCRI_1972 @UroOnc @eau_yuo @SUO_YUO

Great bladder cancer discussion with the team at Sociedad Anticancerosa de Venezuela. Thank you for the invitation @nataliaotano — always good to be back home. 🇻🇪 Excelente discusión sobre cáncer de vejiga con el equipo de la Sociedad Anticancerosa de Venezuela. Gracias por la invitación — siempre es bonito volver a casa.

Great morning at MUSC with Dr. Adam Kibel as our Visiting Professor. A fantastic masterclass on all things prostate cancer and the evolving landscape of urologic oncology. Grateful to learn from one of the leaders in the field. @EMW2000 @MatveyTsivian @JayChavaliMD @JL_Drerup @SES_AUA @UroOnc @SUO_YUO @GenevaMaeP @benvstone @LuisMedinaMD @muschollings @adamkibel_uro @MGHUrology @MGBUrology

300 aquablations within 2 years of launching the program @MUSChealth Glad to be part of the powerhouse of BPH treatment, taking on one prostate at a time. 🥂 @PROCEPTRobotics #MUSCCharleston #MUSCUrology @MUSC_Urology

Bayes’ theorem is probably the single most important thing any rational person can learn. So many of our debates and disagreements that we shout about are because we don’t understand Bayes’ theorem or how human rationality often works. Bayes’ theorem is named after the 18th-century Thomas Bayes, and essentially it’s a formula that asks: when you are presented with all of the evidence for something, how much should you believe it? Bayes’ theorem teaches us that our beliefs are not fixed; they are probabilities. Our beliefs change as we weigh new evidence against our assumptions, or our priors. In other words, we all carry certain ideas about how the world works, and new evidence can challenge them. For example, somebody might believe that smoking is safe, that stress causes mouth ulcers, or that human activity is unrelated to climate change. These are their priors, their starting points. They can be formed by our culture, our biases, or even incomplete information. Now imagine a new study comes along that challenges one of your priors. A single study might not carry enough weight to overturn your existing beliefs. But as studies accumulate, eventually the scales may tip. At some point, your prior will become less and less plausible. Bayes’ theorem argues that being rational is not about black and white. It’s not even about true or false. It’s about what is most reasonable based on the best available evidence. But for this to work, we need to be presented with as much high-quality data as possible. Without evidence—without belief-forming data—we are left only with our priors and biases. And those aren’t all that rational.

What is @rarediseaseday ? Observed every year on February 28, Rare Disease Day raises awareness for rare diseases, highlights unmet needs, and advocates for better research, access to care, and equity for patients worldwide. Because rare doesn’t mean invisible. The date is chosen because in leap years it is February 29, the rarest date. @SpiessPhilippe @drgaganprakash @LuisMedinaMD @npaesa @CMercinelli @dramandeeparora @CurtisPettaway1 @MDAndersonNews @MoffittNews @TataMemorial @MUSC_UroOnc @AmerUrological @UroOnc @SUO_YUO @CAU_URO @AndreaNecchi

@CanesDavid For the past 10 years I’ve had a recurring dream that Apple bought Epic. Wakes me up with a smile imagining how much better the interface would be if it was designed for user workflow. Then I go to work

The best thing that could happen to EHR’s right now would be massive feature de-escalation It has become so bloated Too many alerts, too many unnecessary features Who’s with me?

It was a pleasure having my mentor @drjkaouk as our @MUSChealth @MUSC_Urology visiting professor 2025. A thought leader and innovator sharing his experience with our urology team and residents loved the opportunity to pick his mind on various complex cases @EMW2000 @CleClinicUro
