- Ashish Kamat hosts Sam Chang to discuss the SunRISe-3 trial. Dr. Chang presents the ongoing trial investigating the efficacy of TAR-200, either alone or combined with cetrelimab, against BCG in treating patients with BCG-naive bladder cancer. TAR-200, a targeted release system using gemcitabine, is tested for its potential benefits over traditional treatments due to its unique delivery system aime...

- Andrei Cumpanas presented a study on ureteral strictures following ureteroscopic ureteral wall injury, highlighting a previously unidentified concern. The study aimed to determine the risk of post-ureteroscopic ureteral stricture formation based on the depth of injury into the ureteral wall, revealing that stricture rates increase significantly when the ureteral wall is partially or fully transgre...
