I do agree with Eoganacht's point about more urologist eyeballs on this at a conference, but the power of a BTD fills the seats, so to speak, vs a poster presentation at a conference. I've been to many (non medical) conferences and most of the time, poster presentations are a gap filler. It's better than nothing but the crowds always migrate to the big things. Having BTD under your belt is a big thing. My 2 cents.
Agree re: the impression a BTD or AA would make; however, getting significant data out to the public pre & post BTD/AA can sometimes have a more positive impact....becoming familiar with a new story & watching it develop to its conclusion can be a much more memorable/influential experience for those in the know. For me, the importance/moral of the story sometimes gets lost if I skip right to the finale, especially a familiar one.
In our case, the plot of this story is at least unfolding for the public to see (though an abridged version) & the word is starting to spread. A slow buildup often leads to a more grand/lasting finale. Like my mother's stew, it seemed to simmer forever when hungry, but the wait was always worth it. I'm thankful here that the burners are on, the data is stewing & now just waiting for the FDA to hand over the ladle...frankly, I've been licking my chops & am starving over here : ).
