Congrats to @UCLAHealthJCCC @UCLAHealth senior author #AlexandraDrakaki for this huge accomplishment and advance for bladder cancer! @IntMedAbel @montypal @uclaimchiefs @DOM_UCLA @A_SteinMerlob
Presented at #ESMO26: In patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, event-free survival at 24 months was 63.5% with perioperative durvalumab plus neoadjuvant enfortumab vedotin as compared with 45.1% with surgery alone. Full phase 3 VOLGA trial results: nej.md/4z7dQFm @myESMO

We have published on our ACHD #cardioonc experience led by @PVenkateshMD @KimYanMD @Bravo__MD & #gentianlluri showing younger ages of dx, ⬆️ rates of cancer related mortality, and while MACE rates were ⬆️ they were manageable link.springer.com/article/10… xitter.cf/PVenkateshMD/status/15… 2/
Excited to share our publication - the first to evaluate long-term outcomes of patients with #ACHD and cancer. Many thanks to @DOM_UCLA dream team @datsunian, Gentian Lluri, @Bravo__MD and 🌟resident @UCSFIMChiefs, @KimYanMD! rdcu.be/c0ivN

The 5 pts in this case series demonstrate that there is, at least for now, no cardioprotective "size fits all" for this unique population. Registries & multi-institutional collaboration essential to build larger numbers of ACHD patients to study tx strategies & outcomes 3/

In #ACHD, #Fontan pts are a unique combo of anatomy & pathophysiology that can make cardiotoxicity risk difficult to gauge & manage In this @UCLAHealth collab led by @JHHirschbaum #GentianLluri we explore the tx & outcomes in a #cardioonc case series link.springer.com/article/10… 1/

🫀📡 New in JACC: Heart Failure: AI-guided monitoring after HF discharge was feasible, but didn't cut re-🏨 or ED visits/readmission/death 🏥 5 VA centers | 🩹 chest patch up to 90 days Feasible ≠ effective 📉❌ #HeartFailure #DigitalHealth @JACCJournals
