Congrats to my dear friend @SagarLonialMD who received the Waldenstrom Lifetime Achievement Award for his incredible contributions to the myeloma field at the International Myeloma Society Annual Meeting in Glasgow yesterday. #IMS26@Myeloma_Society
Bridging the Gaps lives up to its name including med onc, urology, rad onc, academic, and community represented.
๐ Bladder cancer Delphi consensus: 300 clinicians, 92% agreement that multidisciplinary care should look the same at an academic center and a community practice.
Emphasis on need for multiD care tumor board, clinic, and care coordination.

๐ฉธ CML HAS CHANGED. HAVE OUR TREATMENT ALGORITHMS KEPT UP?
The era of simply choosing a TKI and monitoring response is behind us.
Today, treating chronic myeloid leukemia means navigating an increasingly complex set of decisions:
Which TKI should you start โ and for whom?
When should an inadequate response trigger a switch?
How should resistance mutations change treatment selection?
Where do newer agents fit into sequencing?
Who can safely pursue treatment-free remission โ and when?
At this week's MedNews Week Keynote Conference, we go directly into these questions with Dr. Jorge Cortes, MD, one of the investigators who helped build the evidence base behind modern CML therapy.
๐๏ธ THE CML EVOLUTION:
Mastering Modern Algorithms in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Dr. Cortes breaks down how CML management has evolved and, more importantly, how to translate that evolution into real-world treatment decisions at the bedside.
Now at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Dr. Cortes has led 90+ Phase IโIII clinical trials, authored 1,000+ scientific publications, abstracts, and academic contributions, and held major international leadership roles in CMLโincluding leadership of the International Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Foundation.
This isn't just a review of CML.
It is an opportunity to learn how one of the field's most influential investigators thinks through the decisions that define modern CML care.

Today, 5 years ago, I started my US journey.
I canโt overstate the impact this country and DFCI had on my trajectory. I felt welcome, grew tremendously as a physician and scientist.
Grateful for the people and trust that shaped these years.
Looking forward to what comes next!
A pleasure to join the panel at the @kyscocancer KYSCO Fall Oncology Review to discuss metastatic prostate cancer! Especially enjoyed sharing the stage with @CParkMD โalways appreciate his insights and encouragement.
10 new @FDA indications in #bcsm in 20 weeks - May to September, 2026.
Three firsts in there: first PROTAC in any cancer, first CDK4/6 inhibitor in HER2+ #bcsm, first drug approval triggered by ctDNA prior radiographic progression.
#clinicaltrials win! Patients win!
Dr. @CParkMD at #WorldGU25 made the case that mHSPC now needs care guided by genetic mutation signatures. His take on KIM-1, ctDNA, and how we counsel patients when tests are positive is the kind of practical teaching #WorldGU26 is built around. Join leading GU experts December 3โ5, 2026, in Nashville.

Ever wonder how heterogeneity defines bladder cancer subtypes?
Ha and Hsieh Lab postdoctoral fellows @pushpa_itagi and Samantha Schuster @fredhutch did, leading to a deep study of bladder cancer clonality, evolution, and heterogeneity published @Naturenature.com/articles/s41586-0โฆ
A pleasure to welcome Dr @NicosiaMd to our Radiation Oncology departments in Madrid and show him our Clinical Trials Unit and MRIdianยฎ MR-Linac programme.
A great opportunity to share experiences and strengthen international collaboration.
Thank you, Luca!
