Erdafitinib in BCG-treated high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cance... sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

The medical community has a perception that breast cancer screening GOOD and prostate cancer screening BAD. Internist Gil Welch provides data showing just how flawed that perception is.
Great opportunity to work on #pancreaticcancer Come and work in @sheffielduni and @TUOS_Cancer with Stephen Bradley.

Just in @NEJM 👉the primary results of ph3 @SWOG 1011 trial (n=592)👉in pts with muscle-invasive #bladdercancer undergoing radical cystectomy👉standard lymphadenectomy is sufficient (extended lymphadenectomy did not improve survival outcomes)👇Link: tinyurl.com/bdh4z5n7 Congrats @slernerbcmedu1 & the stellar team: @siadaneshmand @UroDocAsh @montypal Cc'ing @urotoday @BladderCancerUS @ALLIANCE_org @eaonc

🚨FGFR Inhibition in Urothelial Carcinoma🚨
@EUplatinum
👉Much of the focus on FGFR in UC has been related to targeted therapy w/ erdaftitinib.
✅However, the research base for FGFR alterations is extensive
✍️This expert review discusses the molecular & clinical associations w/ FGFR & future treatment potentials

Exited to share the first results from the TOMBOLA trial presented at #ESMO24 by @JBjerggaard. We used tumor informed (WES; ddPCR) ctDNA analysis to guide Atezolizumab treatment after cystectomy using longitudinally collected blood samples.
Key findings:
•CtDNA-negative patients: 98% RFS at 1 year
•~50% are ctDNA-positive
•CtDNA-positive patients: 75% RFS at 1 year
•55% of Atezolizumab-treated patients cleared ctDNA & have no evidence of disease
Conclusion: ctDNA shows promise for treatment de-escalation (ctDNA-) and patient selection for adjuvant therapy (ctDNA+)

The ph2 SR-4 trial shows that TAR-200 + #cetrelimab neoadjuvant therapy revealed pCR and pOR rates of 42% and 60%, respectively, with a manageable safety profile. These findings support the addition of TAR-200 to anti-PD-1 tx in pts with #MIBC!

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus durvalumab, followed by adjuvant durvalumab after cystectomy, led to event-free survival superior to that with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by cystectomy alone.

AMBASSADOR trial: After cystectomy, patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer were randomly assigned to pembrolizumab or observation for 1 year. The pembrolizumab group had a median disease-free survival twice as long as the observation group. nej.md/4gh1b9D
