Dr. Michael A. O’Donnell is collaborating with biomedical engineers on a device that will greatly reduce the time patients spend in clinic when receiving gem/doce or other sequential intravesical therapies for NMIBC. Learn more: https://t.co/jQg3YxpGEU #BladderCancer

Awesome work by @IanMcelree, @HougenHY @VigneshPackiam & the Iowa UCC squad looking at multiple lines of salvage therapy for NMIBC. Low rate of progression. Many can be salvaged! Need better biomarkers to figure out who gets continued salvage vs Cx.

Almost every case we find something occult on blue light that is subtle or missed on white Hard to believe that would not have a positive impact on outcomes (especially with NMIBC outcomes broadly improving in trials/centers of excellence) @RutgersCancer @saumyg

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

Incredible accomplishment to complete these studies!!! IMO not worth it for almost all patients to be subject to high grade IO toxicity risk for a 5% 2-year benefit (primarily with recurrence not progression)

ALBAN, POTOMAC & CREST #ESMO25 (atezolizumab/sasalimab/in MIBC) @Annals_Oncology show a lot variability. It no easy to conclude exactly which NMIBC patients benefit from ICI therapy. There is over treatment and it’s not without toxicity @JoshMeeks

Great 🧵 on an important paper and topic. Now that there are multiple options for BGC-U NMIBC, need to find a way to sequence them. Cost will be an important piece of that. Lucky to have @AmandaMyersMD at @UIowa_urology continuing this great work!
