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.

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

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+) @Karin_Dem @IverNordentoft @SiaLindskrog @TrineStrandgaa1 @cancer_dk @DCCCcancer @CtdnaDK @AUHdk @AarhusUni

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! @myESMO #ESMO2024 @OncoAlert

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. Full NIAGARA trial results: nej.md/4gmAqk3 #ESMO24

Pushing the boundaries for the standard of care in MIBC; practice-changing advancement @tompowles1 @MattGalsky @JimCatto nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/NEJ… #ESMO24
Perioperative durvalumab + neoadjuvant chemo & cystectomy in operable bladder cancer significantly delays (HR 0.68) event free survival and a 25% reduction in the risk of death. 10% ⬆️ pCR. It’s the 1st time immune therapy has an OS benefit in muscle invasive UC #ESM024 @NEJM

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 #ESMO24
