- Ashish Kamat and Morgan Rouprêt explore advancements in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) treatments. Professor Rouprêt emphasizes two NMIBC categories: high-grade disease, where muscle-invasive and high-grade bladder cancer lines blur, and low-grade disease, where de-intensification of follow-up and treatment is sought. He highlights the THOR-2 cohort presented by Jim Catto at ESMO, show...
