Shout out to
My Houston Colleagues for accruing this unique study in approx 200 black men showing that a West African Ancestry SNP was an independent predictor of a positive biopsy among black men with an indication for prostate biopsy.

Both robotic and open superficial inguinal node dissection for cN0 penile cancer provide excellent inguinal staging with zero false negatives. See our recent two center experience.

Another important incremental advance in our understanding of the heterogeneity of the biology of penile cancer! A small subset of high TMB patients do exist in the HPV+ cohort that could benefit from ICI

Great opportunity to hear the “back story” on these two trials for urologic oncologists early in their careers to get a real picture of the effort, team work, and challenges that occur when trying to advance the field in an evidence based fashion

Proud to be a part of the effort. My hope is that we can band together for novel multi center trials to move therapy forward for this rare but often fatal form of cancer when it is advanced or recurrent.
