Advocating for myself and getting a 2nd opinion saved my life. I was 57 and my college age kids had already lost their father when they were in middle school. #Grateful to be a survivor, I advocate for increased awareness and earlier detection. Thank you for this report.

It’s a wrap for an incredibly productive #AUA2026 @AmerUrological. Honored to participate in the plenary crossfire debate, deliver a podium presentation, and moderate the @IBCG_BladderCA debate. Cherished my time reconnecting with colleagues and friends. So much momentum and innovation in bladder cancer, from new therapeutics and biomarkers to efforts addressing unmet needs. The future of multidisciplinary bladder cancer care is bright! @CleClinicMD @CleClinicUro @caseccc

Cancer loves time! Let’s give it less! If you see 🩸 in your urine, see a doctor. If I’d followed the recommended to keep an eye on it, I wouldn’t be here.

As Bladder cancer patient with Stage 1, high grade non muscle invasive bladder cancer #NMBC, I desperately wanted to avoid a radical cystectomy. But my second opinion at a major cancer center indicated a rare variant that required removal of my bladder for survival. Stick to the plan saved my life:)
Ashish M. Kamat, MD, MBBS@UroDocAsh

Had the pleasure of being a discussant on this very topic at #EAU26. My take? - Stick to the plan! The survival benefit in EV-304/303 was built on consolidation RC+PLND - not observation, not TMT. EV+P and radical cystectomy together deliver the advantage. Skipping surgery outside a clinical trial based on cCR alone is premature. Those studies are needed - and are underway - but we have no data yet. #AUA2026 #AACR2026
