Our recent publication in @EurUrolOncol demonstrates - for the first time -that an AI-powered histologic biomarker (CHAI) can predict response to intravesical BCG vs. gemcitabine/docetaxel in high-grade NMIBC. A critical step forward in precision intravesical therapy. doi.org/10.1016/j.euo.2025.0… 🧵1/6

Thank you @damien_bolton @USANZUrology @AmerUrological / American urology is generous in recognising foreign colleagues but also in sharing vast knowledge via training opportunities #DrEdMcGuire

We are very encouraged to see that @USANZUrology are now recognising chronic, embedded urinary tract infections. usanz.org.au/info-resources/…

Thanks @MattBultitude for your comments Prophylaxis likely works also for simple UTI: best guess is about 50% risk reduction (trial underpowered for the outcome) #APPEALtrial messages 1⃣ 1-dose cipro helps 2⃣ Not all need it 3⃣ Individualize: patient values & risk factors

This UTI research used nanogels combined with a special peptide to push gentamicin inside infected bladder wall cells to clear the infection. The researchers say nanogel delivers about 36% more antibiotic inside cells compared to standard antibiotic delivery methods. It is also quick releasing and exhibits low toxicity, causing minimal harm to cells. #chronicUTI #recurrentUTI #urinarytractinfection news.cuanschutz.edu/news-sto…

Twenty cycles (that's right 20) of Lutetium-177 PSMA-617 for metastatic castration-resistant cancer!! Check our case report just published in @JournalofNucMed jnm.snmjournals.org/content/… Current randomized controlled data demonstrate the safety and efficacy of 6 cycles of [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 therapy in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. In our first phase 2 trial, 15 of 30 patients received additional cycles; 11 (73%) had a subsequent prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline of 50% or more. A German multicenter study also supported extended therapy in 111 patients, with a median survival of 31.1 mo from the first administration and no increase in grade 3–4 toxicities. We describe safety and efficacy in a patient who received 20 cycles of [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-PSMA-617, receiving a total administered radioactivity of 129 GBq over 5 y. Initially diagnosed at age 59 with de novo bone-only metastatic prostate cancer and a PSA of 96 ug/L, he underwent intermittent androgen deprivation therapy for 13 y before requiring palliative radiotherapy for painful bone metastases. The following year, he was treated with 6 cycles of docetaxel, followed by 18 mo of enzalutamide. On progression with a PSA of 195 ug/L and a doubling time of 3.0 mo, the patient received 6 cycles of [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-PSMA-617, with a PSA nadir of 3.2 ug/L, as part of the TheraP trial. Paired PSMA PET/CT (SUVmax, 73; SUVmean, 10.7) and 18F-FDG PET/CT (metabolic tumor volume, 14 cm3) at enrollment had favorable characteristics. A second treatment block of 2 cycles of [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 was given 266 d after cycle 6 (14 mo after cycle 1) on a clinical registry, resulting in a PSA decline of more than 90% (nadir, 14.2 ug/L) and a further treatment break of 229 d. The treatment-free interval remained similar between treatment blocks 2 and 3 at 216 d; however, this interval shortened to 75 and 78 d between blocks 4 and 5 and blocks 5 and 6, respectively (see Figure). After cycle 15, he continued to receive symptomatic benefit, but on-treatment biochemical and imaging progression emerged. The hemoglobin and platelet nadirs were 98 g/L and 115 × 109/L, respectively, occurring after cycle 18. Renal function remained normal, with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 92 mL/min after cycle 20, compared with 117 mL/min at baseline, and an estimated cumulative kidney dose of 55.5 Gy. This exceeds the 23-Gy maximum tolerated dose defined by external-beam radiotherapy, highlighting the limitation of extrapolating external-beam radiotherapy normal-organ constraints to radiopharmaceutical therapy. Grade 1 xerostomia occurred from cycle 3 and remained mild and transient, usually lasting a few days after many, but not all, cycles. After cycle 20, he received 2 cycles of cabazitaxel and had a clinical response but subsequently progressed with new brain metastases and physical decline; he died 2 mo later at age 81, 4.9 y after the initiation of [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-PSMA-617. In conclusion, in selected patients, [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 appears to have substantial benefits beyond 6 cycles. @DrKerryJewell @ButeauJames @EdmondMKwan @liz_medhurst @SandhuShahneen @AzadOncology
