As we wrap a whirlwind of data in bladder cancer at #GU26, wishing everyone safe travels home. Rest up - London and #EAU26 are just around the corner! I'm especially excited to once again lead the "Common Problems and Controversies in Bladder Cancer: Rapid-fire Debates." Friday 13 March 10:45 - 12:15 We’ve designed this session to cut through the noise - no long lectures - just leading experts, opposing viewpoints, and the direct clinical insights you need for daily practice. It remains one of the most anticipated highlights of the meeting for a reason!

Definitive radiation and surgery can be tailored for women safely in a comprehensive approach and trials are ongoing. Great overviews by Dr. Xinglei Shen, and Dr. Armine Smith @akfsurgeon @ASCO #GU26


@SvatekRob presents the ⭐️ SUPER important LBA629 SWOG1602 Phase3 study of different BCG stains plus BCG intradermal priming in NMIBC showing that a different BCG Tokyo 172 was not inferior to TICE. Priming did not improve recurrence @ASCO #GU26 #BladderCancer







Big News from #GU26: S1602 Topline: Tokyo Strain BCG Non-Inferior to Tice Strain.But increased G3-4 AEs with Tokyo.Intradermal Priming did not help.Huge Congrats to the study investigators on this trial which will hopefully get more BCG into the US market.asco.org/abstracts-pres…





Can we accurately stage cCRs in MIBC? JH & Fox Chase studies show the challenge. The future? #GUASCO Niagara data shows utDNA + ctDNA may accurately confer cCRs & prognosis. 🔗 Niagara: asco.org/abstracts-pres… 🔗 JH: europeanurology.com/article/S0302-…🔗 Fox Chase: auajournals.org/doi/abs/10.109…






Whats new and exciting data to look forward in ASCO GU 2026 🙂👇 @ASCO #ASCOGU26 @brunolarvol @MedwatchKate
