A pleasure to finally share our findings of a large RCT of radical cystectomy patients from 10 Canadian institutions. To our shock, TXA did not reduce transfusion. Thank you to the patients, collaborators, and the many research staff. @WesKassouf @mcisaac_d @CIHR_IRSC

High quality guidelines are so important. This is a great way to learn more about how to create and use clinical practice guidelines +/- new pair of cowboy boots

An RCT only possible with the collaboration of Canadian colleagues and research mentors. Very high quality data that builds on @dipenjparekh histologic data showing the kidney is resilient to short term ischemia. Hypothermia (ice slush) best reserved for summer night cocktails

Terrific job by @DrAndreaKoko and Rendon, using #CKCis @KidneyCancer_Ca data from 14 sites. Following up @gershmanMD Mayo data showing lack of added benefit for LND during radical nephrectomy. Further evidence to prevent morbidity of LND in cN0 patients authors.elsevier.com/c/1cp7V_OWv~Yl…
