Thanks @MarkTysonMD 100% agreed. As the old proverb goes “the best time to start a BCG unresponsive RCT was 10 years ago. The second best time is NOW!” Hoping our studies highlights why cross trial comparisons for single arm #NMIBC trials are so flawed and the urgent need for…
Analysis of intravesical gem at MSK: 12mo HGRFS was 52% in BCG-u #bladdercancer. Off-trial pts did better (66%) vs. on-trial (25%)—highlighting selection in trials vs realworld. Gem/doce’s “standard” status needs prospective validation IMO. Need RCT. Love this @eugene_pietzak👏

Cutting edge research by the Glickman lab. Intersecting areas of infectious disease and oncology leading to a better understanding of BCG activity against #bladdercancer @UroOnc @UrologyMSK @MSKCancerCenter
🚨 New research from MSK and @WeillCornell shows that BCG, the first FDA-approved cancer #immunotherapy, doesn't just act locally in the bladder. It travels to the bone marrow, where it reprograms and amplifies immune stem cells, boosting the body’s ability to fight cancer more…
Dr. Clinton and Dr. Pietzak discussed the management of BCG-refractory NMIBC and highlighted recent BCG and gemcitabine clinical trials as well as new non-BCG therapies #BladderCancerAwarenessMonth #URO64 open.spotify.com/episode/06TDJe…
One of my favorite things about spring is our annual visiting professor. Now named after Anthony J Schaeffer. This year we hosted James Eastham from @MSKCancerCenter. @NM_Urology.
