In this episode of the Oncology Brothers podcast, we dived deep into the rapidly evolving landscape of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) treatment. Joined by expert guests Dr. Joshua Meeks, a urologist from Northwestern University, and Dr. Shilpa Gupta, a medical oncologist from Cleveland Clinic, the discussion focused on the integration of immunotherapy into non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Key topics included:
- The definition and characteristics of high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
- Recent clinical trials, including the CREST and POTOMAC, exploring the combination of immunotherapy with BCG treatment.
- The evolving role of medical oncologists in managing NMIBC and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach.
- Patient-centered discussions on treatment options, event-free survival, and managing side effects of immunotherapy.
Join us as we unpack the latest data and real-life scenarios in NMIBC, emphasizing the critical need for collaboration between urologists and medical oncologists to improve patient outcomes.
