Understanding ICI resistance will be key to next wave of effective treatments in refractory #kidneycancer. Great work @VanAllenLab @BraunMDPhD @DrChoueiri et al!
Here's our latest - a deep dive into myeloid mediated immunotherapy resistance in kidney cancer, pairing single cell meta-analysis with companion experiments (h/t @DrChoueiri + @BraunMDPhD collaborations) Congrats Kevin Bi et al! @DanaFarber @broadinstitute @ImmunityCP

Thanks for highlighting, @Dr_Aggen @Uromigos ! Indeed we have added variant histos for the #STAREV trial! Trying to drive path CR w EV, radiation then surgery! Open & enrolling @utswcancer
Would also highlight an IST run by @TiansterZhang at UTSW is evaluating Enfortumab Vedotin + RT for cisplatin-ineligible patients with MIBC. Variant mixed histology tumors are included in this trial: https://t.co/tnL5xydSFL More about variant histologies here at #Uromigoslive

Have had a lot of people reach out to me after the 10/10 black swan looking to build capital again IMO the best way to do so is either 1. Get a job (boring) or 2. Try out a prop firm If you have a system in place, and just need capital, you can get funded for up to $200,000

So true. We speak for our teams and our patients. Finding better therapies and uses will help our patients live longer and better. From podium to bedside. #ESMO25 @myESMO
After ESMO, hope feels stronger. Smarter and more effective treatments are coming for our patients. But science becomes a revolution only when it reaches people. May they not have to wait too long. Every oncologist is, above all, an advocate, our job is to bring treatments from

Congrats @tompowles1 — fantastic presentation and important work for ctDNA utility in #bladdercancer. #ESMO25 #ESMOAmbassadors
1/4 IMVIGOR011 shows ctDNA is a useful predictive and prognostic tool post cystectomy in muscle invasive bladder cancer #ESMO25 . ctDNA positive patients had DFS and OS benifits with atezolizumab. ctDNA negative patients are at a low risk of relapse/cancer death. @OncoAlert

Influential, state-of-the-art, as always presentation by @tompowles1 : Biomarker constructive positive trial on ctDNA-guided adjuvant win in MIBC. Atezolizumab improved DFS (HR 0.64; 9.9 vs 4.8 mo) and OS (HR 0.59; 32.8 vs 21.1 mo) vs placebo in ctDNA+ pts. #ESMO25 #BladderCancer
