Cystoscopy vs urinary markers: A debate on #BladderCancer surveillance strategies. @UroDocAsh @UTMDAnderson moderates a debate between @jteoh_hk @CUHKMedicine & @LAUrology_NL @NKI_nl - does less invasive mean just as effective? Both agree that cystoscopy remains essential for high-risk disease, and favor risk-adapted, patient-preference-informed surveillance decisions. #WatchNow on UroToday > bit.ly/4chn3AC @IBCG_BladderCA

⚡️ NEMIO trial published in @JCO_ASCO: neoadjuvant ddMVAC durvalumab in cisplatin-eligible MIBC (n=121). pCR 47.8%. Adding tremelimumab yields similar pCR but worse toxicity. Chemoimmunotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting: durvalumab adds value, tremelimumab does not. ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO… #BladderCancer #Immunotherapy

Systematic review of vaginal lasers for stress urinary #incontinence. @Dr_i_pp_olito @UMichUrology joins Alan Wein, MD, PhD(hon), FACS @dsui_miami_uro reviewing nine RCTs of CO2 and Er:YAG vaginal lasers for stress urinary incontinence, showing no meaningful difference in continence rates versus sham and only a small, subclinical improvement in patient-reported incontinence scores. Evidence certainty was very low, no major adverse events were reported, and most studies used three laser sessions 30–45 days apart. #WatchNow > bit.ly/4b5Ac09

Analysis of the phase III #CAPItello281 trial: Capivasertib Abiraterone in PTEN-deficient metastatic hormone-sensitive #ProstateCancer. @Daniel_J_George @DukeCancer joins @neerajaiims @huntsmancancer in this conversation on UroToday. Dr. George highlights this as the first study conducted exclusively in PTEN-loss patients, demonstrating that PTEN deficiency defines a fundamentally more aggressive disease biology requiring different treatment approaches than standard #mHSPC. #WatchNow > bit.ly/4q8vymh

More than a diagnosis: Global survey exposes the emotional and physical toll of #BladderCancer treatment. Gina Carithers @PCFnews joins @UroDocAsh @UTMDAnderson reflecting on the Bladder Burden Survey, which included responses from more than 800 patients and 800 urologists, and emphasized that many patients hesitate to share how bladder cancer affects daily life because they do not want to burden their doctors. She encourages clinicians to treat each visit as a personal conversation and highlights @BladderCancerUS and the @WorldBladderCan as key organizations expanding patient resources across languages and cultures. #WatchNow > bit.ly/4fvAZKz

CORE-008 Cohort CX: Early results of cretostimogene gemcitabine in BCG-unresponsive and BCG-exposed #NMIBC. @tbivala1 @PennCancer joins @UroCancerMD @VUMCurology to discuss data on cretostimogene plus intravesical gemcitabine in 55 BCG-unresponsive or BCG-exposed patients, showing high complete response rates of 95% at 3 months and 89.5% at 6 months. Efficacy was similar with sequential and concurrent dosing, though the concurrent arm had four discontinuations due to lower urinary tract symptoms. #WatchNow > bit.ly/4ulycrb
