When a patient hears “complete response,” we hear “it’s gone.” That gap matters. Grateful to @shilpaonc for asking what response means to us, and to work alongside Rick Bangs again. @IBCG_BladderCA #BladderCancer #IBCG2026 @urotoday
What does “response” really mean to patients with #BladderCancer?
Is it CR? Cure? Or maintaining a great QoL with cancer, even without a CR?
Loved this insightful conversation with patient advocates #RickBangs & @MargoWickersham at #IBCG2026 @IBCG_BladderCA
In the current therapeutic era, we need to rethink the terms we use & redefine success beyond scans; to include living well, QOL & what matters most to patients to work towards helping them achieve their overall goals.
Because the goal is not just surviving with cancer, but thriving.

In 2006 we reported 44 patients with non-muscle-invasive micropapillary bladder cancer treated at MD Anderson. 27 got BCG. At a median 30 months, only 5 of them were disease-free with their bladder in place.
Twenty years on, we went back to the literature to ask whether that w meta-analysis in @EurUrolOncol

Always a pleasure chatting with Rick Bangs! Hard to believe this is my 5th appearance!
This time, we discuss a particularly timely topic: bladder preservation after systemic therapy for #MIBC. With the impressive responses we're seeing from newer regimens, the opportunities are exciting, but important questions remain about who can safely avoid cystectomy.
Thanks for having me back! #BladderCancer @BladderCancerUS @IBCG_BladderCA @MDAndersonnews @WorldBladderCan

Patient perspectives on the meaning of response after systemic therapy for #BladderCancer.
What does "response" mean to a patient? #BladderCancer advocates Rick Bangs @BladderCancerUS and @MargoWickersham join @shilpaonc @ClevelandClinic to discuss how bladder cancer patients ponse terminology at #IBCG2026, noting that patients often hear "complete response" as cancer gone for good, not a snapshot requiring ongoing discussion. #WatchNow > bit.ly/4hKmcfH #IBCG26 @IBCG_BladderCA @UroDocAsh
