To predict whether treatment with checkpoint inhibitors will work, you need to take the tumor environment into consideration, PhD Candidate Alberto Gil Jimenez proposes. Antoni van Leeuwenhoek TU Delft He will defend his thesis on November 19 ➡️ bit.ly/4fmHv3j

📹 How can artificial intelligence improve our understanding of tumour complexity? Dr. Benjamin Pradere interviews Dr. Markus Eckstein on how AI is speeding up the process of diagnosis. But what next? And what about AI for #bladdercancer pathology? 👇 bladder.uroonco.uroweb.org/video/how-ai-c…

Erdafitinib is just around the corner for #metastatic #urothelialcancer! However, FGFR3 alterations are rare (10-15%) in MUC! In our recently published study in Nature Communications we thus asked whether we could use #AI to prescreen histopathology slides for presence of FGFR3

Great talks and state of the art lectures here in Palermo about novel evidence among all Uro-Oncology fields. Glad to discuss clinical case scenario in MIBC on TMT vs. radical cystectomy. Congrats to Nicola Pavan and all the Scientific Committee for this excellent meeting 🚀

A 🧵 on our recent study on surveillance for IR-NMIBC European Urology Oncology authors.elsevier.com/c/1l7pU_wtP00L… There is limited evidence on follow-up for IR-NMIBC. We used data from >2000 primary Ta–T1 NMIBC to stratify IR-NMIBC by recurrence risk and propose a risk-adapted follow-up approach.
