Kicking off day 2 with kidney cancer session. First two talks focused on improved nuclear imaging and AI for improving cancer detection. Anyone using girentuximab in their practice? #AI #brianschuch #nicholaskavoussi #SUO24

Major change in metastatic seminoma management. Who is using RPLND to manage stage IIA/B at their institutions? What is your criteria for patient selection? How do you balance decision with other effective options (chemo/rads)? #SUO24 #richmatulewicz #timmasterson @samfunt.bsky.social

Prevention is a critical part of oncologic care. Appreciate Rich Matulewicz from MSK and Marc Bjurlin @uncchapelhill.bsky.social leading session on smoking cessation today. Great and practical recommendations #SUO24

Great to see my good friend and former SUO fellow Fed Ghali @uwmedicine.bsky.social @fredhutch.bsky.social on the stage! Should we be offering cystectomy in metastatic bladder cancer? Benefit likely in palliation but will this change as systemic therapies improve? #SUO24 @yalemedicine.bsky.social
December 4, 2024 at 8:12 PM
Does adjuvant radiotherapy have a role in urothelial carcinoma? Appreciate the talk by @fredhutch.bsky.social scientist and rad onc @omarmian.bsky.social. Benefit likely in high risk pts and risks lower with IMRT. Expect good discussion on this topic during Q&A.

An update on adjuvant therapies for high risk localized urothelial carcinoma by Dr. Jeannie Hoffman-Censits @johnshopkins.bsky.social. Improve DFS, OS benefit TBD. Harms are overtreatment and toxicity #SUO24
