🛠️Surgical instruments used in #Urology

It's important to know our instruments, most of them have eponymous names which pay tribute to surgical legends.

Here I will post pictures of instruments that every trainee should know (taken from different books):

In this #UrologyJournalClub we discuss and summarize the Belzitufan Phase 2 trial for renal masses in patients with Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease published @NEJM which led to the approval of Welireg.

@VPrasadMDMPH 📃 phase 2, single arm, open label
N=61

Pts with VHL and renal masses (assumed to be renal cell carcinoma, biopsy not required).

Most pts had other VHL-related tumors simultaneously but these were not considered for inclusion or exclusion criteria but measured either way.

💡A few thoughts about the recently published PROfound trial “Olaparib for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer” @ NEJM.

I decided to give a shot at critical lecture.

The first thing that draw my attention was the inclusion criteria.

#UroSoMe @VPrasadMDMPH

1/8 "men with confirmed M1 castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) whose disease had progressed during treatment with enza or abi, administered for M1 or M0 CRPC or M1 hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Previous taxane chemotherapy was allowed.”

Now look at control arm 👀
