Nadofaragene Firadenovec for BCG-Unresponsive CIS: Efficacy, Durability, and Practical Considerations - Vikram Narayan Zachary Klaassen speaks with Vikram Narayan from Emory University about nadofaragene firadenovec, a first-in-class gene therapy for BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer. Dr. Narayan explains how this non-r...

Thanks to Zachary Klaassen for a great conversation on BCG unresponsive non-muscle invasive #bladdercancer —working through three common, real-world patient cases to think through practical considerations on sequencing and using these new therapies.

#Quiz A 61-year-old woman presented with refractory hypercalcemia. She had obstructive uropathy secondary to bilateral ureteral stones. The stone composition was 80% calcium oxalate, 20% calcium phosphate. What was the etiology?

My takeaways:
-Well done study with 1000+ randomized, credit to the authors + participants
- Still a hard sell for NMIBC—AE risks warrant close collab w/ med onc despite likely push to do these in the urology clinics “bc it’s subQ”
-If you don’t have BCG, you still don’t have BCG—and this needs BCG

Results of CREST: sasanlimab+BCG in BCG naive HR NMIBC patients offers a 32% risk reduction in HR recurrence, persistent CIS, progression, or death compared to BCG alone.

AEs are 🤨 - Grade 3 - 29%(!!) for sasanlimab pts vs 6% for BCG
- 2 treatment related deaths

Kudos to @amehtamd.bsky.social and colleagues for a fantastic session on vasectomy guidelines - key takeaways: fascial interposition, allow patient autonomy, and there’s no plausible biological link to prostate cancer #AUA2025

A good #AUA2025. Thank you for the invitation to present on the topic of APPs in leadership! #APPSession #Urology

Enjoying a sparks flying crossfire in treatment BCG unresponsive NMIBC, special shout out to my partner @ssjoshi.bsky.social and my friends Vig Packiam, Cheryl Lee, William Huang, and @tullikagarg.bsky.social at #AUA2025

Negative PSMA PET can be used to avoid unnecessary pelvic lymph node dissection in intermediate risk prostate cancer - Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases - Negative PSMA PET can be used to avoid unnecessary pelvic lymph node dissection in intermediate risk prostate cancer

This study suggests that a negative PSMA PET scan can help avoid unnecessary pelvic lymph node dissection in intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients, potentially reducing treatment complications without compromising outcomes. #ProstateCancer #MedicalImaging

Packed house at SUO2024 for NMIBC discussion. Our thought leader @drnarayan.com from @emoryuroonc.bsky.social @winshipatemory.bsky.social
Ongoing challenge: how do we manage high risk NMIBC? Especially those with variants?
