My wife is the type of thoughtful physician I aspire to be
She’s working urgent care tonight and seeing kids who are too sick to go trick-or-treating so she brought them toys to take home in the hopes they don’t feel too left out
Talk about putting care in healthcare ❤️

So many incredible folks on this list - many of whom are treasured friends.
To @shilpaonc & @PBarataMD, now running phase III trials and making sea changes in how we treat #genitourinary cancers, congratulations!
To @curijoey, the 2027-2028 @myESMO President, congratulations!
To @GregoryAVidal, who I have exchanged ideas over Lou Malnati's pizza with at many an @ASCO, congratulations!
And to @NazliDizman, what more can I say! Achieving the #FASCO status within your first 3 months as faculty at @DanaFarber isan incredible feat & a sign of what's to come!
Congrats to everyone on this list (@Joshua_Reuss, @ryangentzler, @VjChaudharyMD & everyone else!) & thank you for your commitment to @ASCO!
Join us in congratulating the following members on earning the Fellows of ASCO (FASCO) distinction last quarter! We are grateful for their extraordinary volunteer service, dedication, and commitment to ASCO.

VOLGA explored short periods of EV (3 cycles) with duvalumab in muscle invasive bladder cancer #ESMO26@NEJM. Results showed EVD was associated with better EFS + OS vs cystectomy alone (0.51 and 0.58 respectively). pCR 40-45% with ctDNA clearance rates of 60%. High rates of adjuvant IO therapy uptake and low rates of neuropathy suggest potential advantages of this approach which focuses the ADC in the neoadjuvant phase. It’s likely to be attractive for patients.
Leaving Madrid w so many good moments #ESMO26@myESMO - brain exploding w data & new trials for our patients, feet sore, heart full after connecting w/ old & new friends across the world. Was an incredibly hard wk w loss of Rachna — we continue the hard & good work.

Brilliant talks from @AlbigesL, @KoenvdMijn, @YujiMiura5 & @BraunMDPhD at #ESMO26 highlighting novel therapies for #kidneycancer. Lots of perspective shifting evidence & discussion - I’m walking away with (1) the thought that we could still optimize ADCs for RCC despite multiple failed attempts (need to watch the talk!) and (2) the need to explore “smarter TILs”. @OncoAlert
Rigorous biomarker trials are extremely difficult to design. @AlbigesL is doing it!
Looking forward to seeing the results at a future meeting.

In the absence of CNS irAEs I have not previously thought much about it. I think most of us under appreciate the cardiac and neuro consequences of long term inflammation from IO. Agree we should focus more on this.
@CPRT65 Camillo Porta and @sophiemerrick1 for great PRO work and discussion of IO AEs and potential long term side effects.
The possibility of persistent worsening “neurocognitive function” must now be discussed with patients who are engaging with adjuvant IO. ESMO26

Preston Wiley starting off #WSAUA26 off strong presenting our work on robotic vs open RPLND!
🌟 No concerning oncologic signals
🌟 Shorter LOS
💡 more work ahead!
Great presentation by @maughanonc! SWOG S2200: cabozantinib + atezolizumab showed a PFS signal vs cabozantinib in metastatic papillary RCC (HR 0.46). Only 33 eligible patients after early closure for slow accrual. Small but important! #ESMO26@oncoalert@myESMO
#PAPMET2 trial @maughanonc
although closed early d/t slow enrollment, still very meaningful to show more data to support IO/TKI preferred over TKI in papillary RCC
36 pts enrolled
Higher PFS & ORR with doublet
Results of STELLAR-304, SAMETA & AXIPAP are pending! #ESMO26
PAPMET2 Ph2 trial initiated by @SWOG presented by @maughanonc at #ESMO26.
Builds upon #PAPMET by adding atezolizumab to cabozantinib for pRCC.
Small cohort given rare histological subtype but initial results promising: PFS 25 vs 10mo, ORR 47%, no PD as BOR.
Results for ongoing #STELLAR304, #SAMETA & #PAXIPEM nccRCC and pRCC trials eagerly awaited
