We tried a trial of RC vs CRT. Spare trial. Didn't recruit due to lack of clinical equipoise and patient preference. No data currently 2 say its safe to omit any radical Tx. trial schedule of intensive fup is also non deliverable in real world. Caution needed.@achoud72 @syeepei

First patient in Europe! Made possible only because of an amazingly committed team. So proud of everyone and the hard work they put in day to day. By the way, we are happy to take referrals! @achoud72 @AlisonBirtle @JoachimChan02 @BladderCancerUK @Actionbladderca
Our urology research team recruited the first patient in Europe to a new bladder cancer trial. The trial will determine if adding a new drug called vepugratinib to standard treatment improves outcomes for people with advanced bladder cancer and an FGFR3 genetic alteration.

Doctors hail drug that spares bladder cancer patients ‘life-changing’ surgery | Cancer research | The Guardian. Great to see our RADio trial highlighted by guardian. Study investigated addition of Durvalumab to concurrent chemo RT. @prof_nick_james theguardian.com/science/2026… – at Dronfield, England

Waving goodbye to bowel loops… my tablet and I won’t miss you!!! 👋
Ultra hypofractionated pelvic RT well tolerated in PCS XI compared to conventional fractionation. Dr Fabi at ##ESTRO26 Key Q: is pelvic RT needed for high risk #prostatecancer?

Dr Varughese takes to the stage at #ESTRO2026 @ESTRO_RT to present the RT practice in UK. Anyone designing a bladder preservation trial should consider the practice in the country that does a lot of it (effectively)… if they wanted a fair trial 🤷🏻‍♀️ @RCRadiologists

@juliarmurray tells us why radiotherapy is amazing in terms of biology, synergistic effects, side effects profile… and why no one should run the @ESTRO_RT 5K with a walnut in their shoes…

We say radiotherapy is tumour agnostic, Dr Gianmarco Leone says it’s intellectually lazy… 🫣 Brave statement at a radiotherapy conference. @ESTRO_RT #ESTRO2026

Bright and early at #ESTRO2026 @AshwinUrol explains that relapse post RALP is a complicated, with potentially different disease state at the time. @MCRCnews @TheChristieNHS @ESTRO_RT

Quite a decent contribution, don’t you think?

Manchester is off to #ESTRO. Don’t worry, we did leave some people at work. @ESTRO_RT @MCRCnews @RRR_UoM @RT_physics @CICEManchester @TheChristieNHS

Learning about #NMIBC at #SIU2025Edinburgh @SIU_urology from @ParamMariappan. Not a group of patient that ClinOncs like myself traditionally see. But things may change… #clinicaltrials #improvingoutcomes #exploreothertreatments #considerRT #theTRAINisready

Significant unmet needs with #NMIBC. BCG is the cornerstone but can be problematic. Clearly a need to explore different treatment options. #clinicaltrials required. Patients not keen for RC. So how about some RT? #wehaveatrial #getitopened

And patient choice. Were they offered a choice initially and true shared decision making exploring wishes and preferences or just given one option & subsequent regret. Sadly patient surverys show its the latter @WorldBladderCan @BladderCancerUK

Off on a short visit to Edinburgh for #SIU2025Edinburgh @SIU_urology to speak about adj RT in #bladderca. 🤔 Can I change the title to “zap zap after making a poor choice” and conclude with “just leave it inside”? #whydyatakeitout #tongueincheek @achoud72 @AlisonBirtle

Really interesting as most data published so far didnt take into account cost of robotics+ nac pre RC. And of course there is patient cost in the trade of on sexual functions and body image as weve seen from multiple propensity matched analyses, qabc study and spare qol data.

Its a modest follow-up and with toxicity. Excitement yes but let's remember that chenorad offers per rates of 87 percent. @achoud72 @syeepei @robert_huddart @Prof_Nick_James
