The IL-18 armored CAR-T data from @carlhjune's group at ASH this year is remarkable (https://t.co/NTDo7yGMHn). 100% ORR so far, 7/8 patients had relapsed on a prior CAR-T product. IL-18 baby!!!
Trimodality bladder preservation versus cystectomy for muscle invasive bladder cancer; matched cohort #ASTRO22@OncoAlert. Dr J Efstathiou - outcomes similar for TMT versus cystectomy. 13% required salvage cystectomy, but did not impact survival. Hydronephrosis a bad player ☹️

@presjimryan @LarrySabato Many happy returns of the day @LarrySabato!
I had no idea you and I shared the same birthday (40 years apart exactly). I could not ask for better @UVA company to share 8/7 with.
At any rate, Happy 70th Birthday!
@ParikhSimul Yeah I agree - exploratory analysis showed no difference in recurrence b/w risk groups, but # of local recurrence events was low and the eligibility criteria were broad. Need to better figure out pts who are truly at greatest risk.
Also role of hypofx boost itself (HYPORT)
