Congrats @Dr_SabyGeorge ! really great collaborative work, we all know IIT have multiple challenges, and this signal is so promising that requires further investigation. Congrats for leading these efforts
These data are very relevant in advanced RCC, in this age of immunotherapy. Thanks to all the co-investigators, coordinators, the respective institutional ethics committees at 5 centers and above all, to the patients. @deepak_kilari @LenAppleman @DrVaishampayan @EHeath4100

In a clinical trial just published in The Lancet Oncology, researchers led by Dr. Saby George reported promising results from combining the targeted cancer drugs bevacizumab (Avastin) and pazopanib (Votrient). Read more: roswellpark.org/newsroom/202…

Honored to serve our incredible @SWOG #GUonc committee w/ my fellow patient advocates, Darrell & Joël. It’s empowering to use our lived experience to help create clinical trials for our fellow patients. Years ago, it was @PeggyZuckerman who was my voice when #PAPMET S1500 was created. I’m humbly grateful that brilliant study team led by @montypal not only saved my life with this research, but that it led to a CR that allows me to give back. Thank you to @SupportingSWOG for making it possible for patients to participate in research advocacy!

⚡️ New meta-analysis confirming the benefit of perioperative immune-based strategies in cisplatin-eligible MIBC (NIAGARA + KEYNOTE-B15). Meaningful EFS and OS gains — but the two regimens are not interchangeable. Patient selection matters. @vmollica7 @fmassari79 @giannatempopatr @shilpaonc pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4286… #BladderCancer #MIBC #GUOncology

Renal cancer highlights #ESMO26 1) Final OS data for LS11 (Lenvatinib/belzutifan vs cabo in pretreated disease) & final OS for KN564 (adjuvant pembro vs placebo) @DrChoueiri 2) 1st line triplet data for Len/pembo/bel vs Len/pembro/CTLA4 vs Len/pembro @brian_rini Press release shows it’s negative. Triplets appear hard in RCC. 3) New monotherapy data for Ivanesimab (VEGF/PD1) and more data. Combination trials to follow 4) A randomised phase II of metastasis-directed therapy +/- pembro @DrIacovelli Finally phase 2 data of ENPP3/CD3 T cell engager @montypal @myESMO @Annals_Oncology @OncoAlert

Nearly every presentation delivered new data, evolving perspectives, and game-changing insights into prostate cancer care. What a difference two years makes in theranostics! Heading into #ProsTIC26, I’ll admit I found myself asking some tough questions: Are there already too many scientific meetings? Has the field really shifted that much? Do we actually need another ProsTIC? Standing in Melbourne last week alongside over 500 participants from around 25 countries, the answer was a resounding yes. The pace of progress since #ProsTIC24 is mind-blowing. The week proved that bringing so many different disciplines into one room is essential for pushing patient outcomes forward. From quite intense clinical debates, learning from patient experience, discussing new scientific approaches like Terbium-161 and Lead-212, to an unforgettable 80s-themed celebration, the momentum in this space seems unstoppable. Check out the video below for a recap of the highlights - and get ready, because with the way this field is expanding, #ProsTIC28 can't come soon enough! @PCF_Science @PCFA @PeterMacCC
