So excited about this work, led by UMich Pathologist Cathryn Lapedis. We're accustomed to providing patients with reports that are uninterpretable to them, then having a subsequent decoding discussion. What happens when we make the reports understandable the first time around?@bzikmund.bsky.social

Patient-centered pathology reports improved patients' understanding of prostate biopsy results and their ability to accurately assess their cancer diagnosis and risk level, compared to standard pathology reports. ja.ma/4a3c38z

Fascinating! “Most study participants (44-61%) could not extract basic information—including whether they have cancer—from standard prostate cancer pathology reports but [in contrast] 93% were able to understand this diagnostic information from” patient-centered pathology reports

I've published literally hundreds of studies, but this one will always be special. I'm so proud to have helped Dr. Cathryn Lapedis show so convincingly how BAD current prostate biopsy pathology reports are compared to a simple patient-centered design. PLUS: my first JAMA article ever!

Thrilled to announce that my dear friend and colleague, Jay Simhan, MD, FACS, has been named Chair of Urology at Temple University Hospital! I’m thrilled to partner as two departments under the Fox Chase-Temple Urologic Institute to elevate our already world-class program to even greater heights!

Huge need to get away from single arm trials in local therapy for cancer, in general. Often hard to get funding. But let’s be creative. And most importantly, let’s (physicians) not be the barrier to learning. Optimizing #cancer treatment should not be a guessing game. #science for the win🥇

Awesome talk by @joshmeeks.bsky.social on trial design in NMIBC. Huge need to get away from single arm trials. #SUO24
