We should be held acccountable by our urological colleagues given this is a new-ish treatment!

I forced a bot to read 1000 #internalmedicine personal statements & write its own. The syntax is a little off, but this bot has the template down! (Credit to @KeatonPatti's shtick.)

Exciting data from our NRG colleagues. Sets the tone for S1806. Congrats on a very nice trial.

just noticed this little tidbit...more men in the ProtecT trial for #pcsm died of 2nd malignancy in the surgery arm than the RT arm (not sig). Not saying RT-induced malignancies don't exist, just saying it's low enough not to be detectable in a trial of >1,000pts at 10yrs #radonc
