Looking forward to #ASCO25. I tried to summarise it, but there’s some really exciting new data.

#Bladder new ADCs strategies, pt selection, ctDNA, non-UC subtypes, RT + IO.
#Kidney biomarkers, new TKI & HIFi, nccRCC
#Prostate new drugs, pt selection, aggressive variants.

Excited to be in Barcelona for the 2nd #GuardConsortium meeting on drug development and regulations for urological cancer.

Happy to discuss global disparities in drug approvals for #UrothelialCarcinoma.
