Ep. 210 Personalizing ADT Across the Prostate Cancer Spectrum with Dr. Rana McKay
21 Jan 2025
Full Episode
We know that TURBT procedure is critical in the care of patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. With data that shows that CIS was missed by TURBT in more than 45% of radical cystectomy cases and 86% of residual tumors have been found at the original resection site, it's clear that enhanced visualization could be a significant benefit during TURBT's.
Further, with only 23% of patients coming back for re-resection, it's all the more important to do a complete TURBT right from the start.
everybody does it different, every doc doesn't different, there isn't sort of like a system. So I think like kind of being a little bit more systematic about, you know, these are the options that you have.
And these are the side effects, you know, at our institution, a DTF kind of we piloted together kind of like an ADT order set, you know, like when you're going to start ADT, these are the things to think of, these are the labs to think of, this is the imaging, here's the teaching. And I think that that really kind of takes out a lot of bias from the process.
So I think standardization is important and also kind of seeing what the goals are for the patient and aligning with them is really key.
This is Aditya Bagrodia as your host this week. And I'm very excited to introduce our guest today, Raina McKay, who's one of my partners here at UC San Diego. Welcome back to the show, Raina. How are you doing today?
I'm doing great. Thanks for having me.
Oh, it's a pleasure, Raina. I literally think every time I interact with you, I get inspired and I get smarter. And, you know, what you're able to do for our team and for the GU community is amazing. And I've got to take this opportunity to throw a little plug in. Raina is on the ballot for the nominating committee for ASCO elections this year.
There's literally I don't think anybody who's out there currently that's contributed so much to our field and oncology in general. So if you're a member, get out there and vote for Raina. She's amazing. You don't need me to tell you that. All right, Raina. So this is actually an episode that is kind of backed by request and popular demand.
