Free CE opportunity! How can clinicians integrate ctDNA, ICIs, and ADCs into the management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer?
Learn from experts @ERPlimackMD @siadaneshmand and Colleen H. Tetzlaff, MHS, PA-C on emerging biomarkers, personalized treatment strategies, and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to MIBC care. @RedMedEd

@BladderCancerUS @kd_valentine3 @MGHMedicine Congratulations @kd_valentine3 of @MGHMedicine! This is a key issue for bladder cancer patients like me. Now as an advocate, I feel great about sharing the focus on shared decision-making to support patients and their families!

Meet BCAN Young Investigator Awardee @kd_valentine3 of @MGHMedicine.
"I’m incredibly grateful and excited for the opportunity to bring shared decision-making research into the center of bladder cancer care where patients are facing life-changing decisions with profound impacts on quality of life. My hope is that this work helps ensure patients feel informed, supported, and empowered to choose treatments that align with what matters most to them."

Supporting survivorship means addressing every aspect of life after bladder cancer, including sexual health.
We're proud to welcome Rebecca DiPatri, RN, BSN, OCN® from @InovaHealth for our July discussion on sexual health and intimacy after bladder cancer.

Sadly women with #bladdercancer are still being diagnosed too late bc their symptoms are attributed to recurrent UTIs

"The BCAN Young Investigator's Award provides a springboard for my clinical and research career in bladder cancer. BCAN's support will help ensure our bladder cancer patients are nutritionally optimized at the time of cystectomy to ensure optimal recovery and improve surgical/oncologic outcomes!"

New research shows that improving how AI analyzes urine cytology images could help make bladder cancer detection more accurate.
By selecting the clearest focal plane before analysis, researchers improved AI's ability to evaluate cells that may signal bladder cancer. It's an important step toward more reliable, noninvasive screening and surveillance.

“Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States, and once it spreads, treatment options remain very limited. This award supports my research into how brief bursts of DNA damage leave a permanent mark that drives cancer spread, and how we can reverse it using next-generation protein-degrader technologies. The BCAN Young Investigator Award is the foundation I need to turn these discoveries into real therapeutic strategies for patients with metastatic bladder cancer.”

"Sometimes meaningful advances in cancer care come not only from discovering new treatments, but from learning how to use our existing treatments better. I am grateful for this award, which will support our research investigating whether optimizing the timing of BCG therapy can harness the body’s natural immune rhythms to improve outcomes for patients with NMIBC.”
