Hydrogel spacer placement for prostate radiotherapy: a urology residency training experience. @zklaassen_md@GACancerCenter joins @l_ballas@CedarsSinai sharing insights from ~250 Barrigel® cases since 2022, highlighting improved resident training with real-time, pausable injection vs SpaceOAR. Barrigel® also shows reduced ≥grade 2 acute GI toxicity. 5/8 trainees now use spacers in practice. #WatchNow on UrtoToday > bit.ly/4euqrKB@Barrigel_spacer
#MelanomaMonday Fact
Skin cancer, including melanoma, can affect people of every skin tone. No one is immune.
