So if you knew the RVUs for your most common index procedures in your specialty or subspecialty, would you have reconsidered your specialty? In other words, should medical schools review the finances of each specialty before students gravitate to certain fields? Weill Cornell Medicine

HR NMIBC Plenary - novel therapies to spare the bladder result in >50% of pts recurring at 12 mo but per CISTO, RC = or better to bladder sparing therapy in pt reported outcomes. So RC is an option in non responders but we and pts will likely sequence therapy instead #AUA25
