Closing the Gap: Understanding Gender Disparities in Bladder Cancer Care, hosted by Martha K. Terris, MD, FACS, is a limited series spotlighting unique considerations for bladder cancer diagnosis and treatment among women. Dr Terris is department chair and a professor in the Department of Urology, the Witherington Distinguished Chair in Urology, and co-director of the Cancer Center at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University.
In part 1 of this 3-part series, Dr Terris discussed the prevalence of bladder cancer in women, as well as reasons for diagnostic disparities that contribute to poor treatment outcomes. She noted that this disease is often diagnosed at later stages in women than in men, often resulting in diagnoses of more advanced disease and translating to poorer outcomes. She added that although female patients represent a minority of those with urothelial carcinoma.

At the 2025 ESMO Congress, leading oncologists reflected on data expected to redefine practice across breast, genitourinary, and gynecologic malignancies.
Dr Shore discusses the use of ADT in patients with prostate cancer, as well as toxicities and quality-of-life complications associated with these agents.
Dr Mehta discussed practice-changing urothelial carcinoma data that have been presented throughout 2024 and 2025, the clinical utility of enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab for select patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer, and differing treatment approaches for patients with lymph node–only vs distant metastases.
Dr Patel discusses the clinical relevance of the FDA approval of adjuvant cemiplimab for the management of high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
In this podcast, experts Tina Cascone, MD, PhD; Christina Baik, MD, MPH; and David Planchard, MD, PhD discuss data-driven treatment for EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer.
In today’s episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with J. Thaddeus Beck, MD, FACP, about the FDA approval of pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa-pmph (subcutaneous pembrolizumab; Keytruda Qlex) for subcutaneous injection in adult and pediatric patients at least 12 years of age with solid tumors for which the intravenous formulation of pembrolizumab (Keytruda) is indicated.
Raval and Jillella discussed Jillella's career journey, starting from his oncology internship in 1989 to establishing a bone marrow transplant program.
Dr Jacob discusses the significance of the FDA approval of the gemcitabine intravesical system for BCG-unresponsive non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
In today’s episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Andrew Kuykendall, MD, who gave an overview of the myelofibrosis treatment paradigm. Dr Kuykendall is an assistant member in the Department of Malignant Hematology at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida.
In our exclusive interview, Dr Kuykendall discussed the prevalence of patients with myelofibrosis who have mutations in JAK2, CALR, or MPL; the crucial roles of the JAK1, JAK2, and IRAK1 pathways in disease progression; the importance of considering JAK inhibition in eligible patients; and the challenges associated with managing cytopenic myelofibrosis.
In our exclusive interview, Dr Shitara discussed preliminary efficacy data with CAR T-cell therapy in gastrointestinal cancers; highlighted challenges related to durability of response, patient selection, and manufacturing logistics with these therapies; and outlined ongoing biomarker analyses exploring tumor microenvironment factors influencing resistance.
