Introducing First Assist: GU Oncology Unpacked, with Taylor Goodstein, MD!

In this inaugural episode of First Assist: GU Oncology Unpacked, host Taylor Goodstein, MD, sets the stage for a podcast designed to demystify the complex and fast-moving world of genitourinary oncology. Currently entering her second year of a Society of Urologic Oncology fellowship at Emory University after completing residency at The Ohio State University, Goodstein brings a unique “in-between” perspective—no longer a resident, not yet a long-established attending—offering listeners a relatable guide through one of urology’s most knowledge-dense subspecialties.

Speaking directly to trainees while ensuring relevance for seasoned clinicians, Goodstein acknowledges the steep learning curve in GU oncology and her mission to make it more approachable. She promises to ask the questions that others may hesitate to voice—like “What is CIS, anyway?” or “What does this chemotherapy cycle actually entail?”—and to explore these topics through interviews with leading urologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and basic scientists from across the country.

The podcast will span a wide range of subjects, from breaking trial data in non–muscle invasive bladder cancer to advances in focal therapy for prostate cancer to practical guidance for approaching an IVC thrombectomy. Episodes will blend guideline updates, expert commentary, and practical insights into both the “why” and the “how” of modern oncologic care.

The first series of episodes will take a historical look at how treatments for common urologic malignancies have evolved—because, as Goodstein notes, understanding where the field has been is essential to knowing where it’s going. Future episodes will intersperse this with timely, topic-driven conversations shaped in part by listener suggestions. (Please email us at UTeditors@mjhlifesciences.com with any suggestions.)

With a focus on accessibility, curiosity, and high-yield learning, First Assist invites trainees and experts alike to engage in candid, informed discussions about the realities and innovations shaping GU oncology today.
