With VOLGA results coming at #ESMO26, a summary of contemporary phase III perioperative trials in muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
⚠️ Different populations and designs—avoid cross-trial comparisons. VOLGA and EV-303 importantly include surgery-alone control arms without The next challenge: identifying who truly needs adjuvant ADC therapy—and who can safely avoid it.

A landmark trial found that a combination treatment for people with bladder cancer significantly improved outcomes after 2 years. Researchers found this approach is also likely cost-effective: tinyurl.com/y7fmdm8u @JAMANetworkOpen @brady_urology

For cisplatin-ineligible muscle-invasive #BladderCancer, perioperative #EnfortumabVedotin plus pembrolizumab with radical cystectomy was associated with improved survival and was cost-effective vs radical cystectomy alone over 10 years. ja.ma/4seltqJ

🚽 Is Gem/Doce the Future for Bladder Cancer Treatment?
Gem/Doce shows promise as a first-line treatment for BCG-naïve high-risk NMIBC, offering new hope during BCG shortages.
📈 Efficacy - 3-year high-grade recurrence-free survival is 80%
🔬 Tolerability - Only 8% stopped due Future Potential - Phase 3 trials needed for standard care status

New paper out in @EurUrolOncol! 🧬
We present the largest prospective cohort of sporadic bilateral/multifocal papillary RCC (89 patients, 25 years at the NCI).
Key findings:
📉 Slow, indolent growth (median 1.55 mm/yr)
🎯 No metastases when largest tumor <3cm
🔬 Low metastatic rate overall (6.7%)
🩺 Repeat ipsilateral partial nephrectomy = biggest hit to kidney function
Supports active surveillance for small renal masses + nephron-sparing surgery when intervention is needed.
