In April 2023, CHM Pediatric Urologist Kristina Suson tweeted: “Dr. Meier finished us strong with a compelling case of a peri pubertal patient with metastatic mixed non-seminoma GCT, raising questions about potential of PET to help inform therapy and incidence of testis ca in patients who transition. Great work!”
