(UroToday.com) Drs. Colin Dinney, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Peter Black, the University of British Columbia, started the meeting with a discussion regarding the history of bladder cancer research and Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN). In particular, they discussed the advances in understanding the biology of the disease including recent advances regarding bacillus calmette-guerin (BCG) and BCG unresponsive disease including recent clinical trials.
More recently, molecular subtypes of muscle-invasive disease have now been further investigated in non-muscle invasive disease. However, much ongoing work is needed and the field overall in high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is rapidly evolving at large. The clinical panel kicked off the meeting and was followed by the translational panel followed by a question/answer discussion.
