It does not make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do. You have to be run by ideas not hierarchy. The best ideas have to win, otherwise good people do not stay.  —Steve Jobs

Truly deserved @ProfShamimKhan1! It was my privilege to have had the opportunity to learn from this legend during my time @GuysUrology

Enfortumab vedotin & Pembrolizumab improving PFS & OS by 55% & 53% respectively compared to platinum based chemo in 1st line UC (+avelumab in 30%). Chemo has not been beaten before (despite multiple efforts). RR and CR of 68% & 29% is hard to beat. DOR not reached (1/3)#ESMO2023

Huge fan now of @Giannis_An34 and it applies to everyone one us irrespective of sports —“MJ played 15 years and won 6 championships, were the other 9 years a failure ?”

Very good stone plenary session at #AUA23 Some key take-home messages for me

⭐️ The EAU guidelines on focal HIFU and focal cryotherapy have changed ⭐️ For advice on eligibility criteria & how patients can access focal HIFU or cryo routinely via HEAT and ICE registries, DM or email. @UkFocal @FocalSociety @IP_London

Just a few minutes into my Urology Ward shift and handed this by Sister. Immediately diagnosed an overactive bladder and recommended anti-cholinergics. I could see from the expression on her face she was impressed! Not lost the old touch!!Curiously not had any other calls 🤔

@theTWOCfather @MiniMiniMeg Congrats @theTWOCfather!

Great to see this on the bookshelves in #EAU23. I hear chapter 12 is a cracker!

Prof Hamdy presenting 15-year PROTECT Outcomes at #EAU23 #EAU2023 No difference in Survival between Active monitoring and Radical Treatment. 1/3 intermediate/high risk patients. NEJM: nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Busy week visiting Prof Juan Casanova in Valencia, and @LondonProstate1 @ImperialNHS learning the finer points of focal cryotherapy for #prostatecancer. Picked up many valuable tips from these masters!

Awesome evening with my mentors from @GuysUrology bladder team, Prof Khan, Ramesh and @nairajesh. Delighted to catch up with them for the first time in almost 5 years!

How to Best Use Current Drugs: Treatment Sequencing and Combinations for mCRPC @Silke_Gillessen Outstanding possible treatment algorithms based on previous therapies received #GU23 @urotoday

With great pride and honour, I have been nominated to be the SIU Congress Organizing Committee Chair for the coming 4 years. 🙌🏻 I feel extremely humbled to have this opportunity to serve the society and the urological community. 💫 Join us at Istanbul 11-15 Oct 2023! #SIU2023

DADSPORT meta analysis #ESMO22 No OS improvement when ADT added to salvage #radiotherapy for #prostatecancer, whatever the duration (6 vs 24 mo). Improvement in MFS with HR 0.82 Nice introduction to RADICALS HD presentation tomorrow by @PCaParker

Summarising data from the adjuvant renal cancer trials is tricky #ESMO22 It is likely to be due to multiple factors -trial design, the drug, the toxicity etc. It’s unlikely pembrolizumab was positive by chance alone. PD-L1 inhibitors maybe less good here, but why was ipi/nivo -ve

Always a pleasure to collaborate with GS friends. This lady had locally advanced rectal cancer, and underwent robotic low anterior resection, THBSO, right ureterectomy, and Boari flap reimplantation. Patient is well 1 year postop! youtube.com/watch?v=sAfu_q… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…

Lower risk of infection with transperineal prostate biopsy is likely related to differences in bacterial pathogenicity & load carried by the needle compared to the transrectal approach. Nice work by @gwerneburg @AoZhangUro @samhaywoodmd @CleClinicUro pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35508258
