ctDNA is emerging as a tool to guide therapy in MIBC. Many such strategies are under development to guide treatment with precision.
🚨 IMvigor011 Press Release High-risk MIBC, post-cystectomy 👉 ctDNA+ → Atezolizumab improved DFS & OS vs placebo ❌ IMvigor010 (Atezo, all-comers) = negative ✅ CheckMate-274 (Nivo, all-comers) = DFS benefit → SOC ✅ IMvigor011 (Atezo, ctDNA+) = precision win ➡️ From “treat all” → “treat MRD+ only.” But… • Adjuvant Nivolumab (CheckMate-274) already SOC → placebo arm debatable in 2025. • Benefit shown only with atezolizumab; would nivo perform the same in ctDNA+? • Assay dependence (Signatera) + cost/availability may limit real-world use. • Risk of false negatives in ctDNA− patients. 👉 Big step forward, but implementation & generalizability remain open questions. #uroonc #blcsm #ctDNA #MRD @dr_yakupergun @DrYukselUrun @tompowles1

The horrific incident of an Oncologist being stabbed by the patient’s son just proves how workplace security is a myth. Safety is a necessity. This incident also shows importance of proper counselling and a healthy doctor patient relationship.

67 days of protests, 280+ hours of doctor's hunger strike, yet their 10 point rightful demands have not been met! #DoctorsOnHungerStrike #JusticeForAbhaya

When presented with facts, you just can’t expect any sensible response from choti chata TM chi.
Replying to @MamataOfficial
Madam why are you lying? These lives aren't lost due to junior doctors. Look at this list. Given by your own party officers. In this list the red marked hospitals have never had any junior / resident doctor. So why are you lying ? Please explain.

We still have a lot yet to achieve.
One may ask what have we achieved after protests- 1. Central Protection Act-No 2. Justice-clearly not 3. Safe workplace-Not yet 4.Accountability-None But what we have achieved is support from the masses, and that’s why we must keep fighting. #JusticeForRGKar #JusticeForAbhaya

What happens when you post things without reading what’s actually in it? - You puke nonsense. Such can be said about this lady- TMCP Junior doctors, clearly engaging in nefarious activities, yet she is asking why they shall not continue to do so.
TMCP এর জুনিয়র ডাক্তার দের প্রতিনিয়ত থ্রেট দেওয়া হচ্ছে আর জি কর সহ সমস্ত সরকারি হাসপাতালে.. তাদের কে হাসপাতালে ঢুকতেও বাধা দেওয়া হচ্ছে। যারা থ্রেট কালচারের বিরুদ্ধে প্রতিবাদ করছেন তারাই থ্রেট করছে অন্যদের..হাসপাতাল গুলো হার্মাদে ভরে গেছে এদের বিরুদ্ধে ব্যবস্থা হোক..

Is this what lays the ground for Direct Tax Code? Or will the middle class receive any major tax cuts?
यह सब पुराने तरीक़ा है नये नये टैक्स लगाने के। जब में बोलता था तो भक्त गाली देते थे - अब झेलो।

What happened to her was horrible. But what is happening now is even more terrifying. There is renovation work going on in the department of Chest medicine, R G Kar Hospital. This is a blatant case of evidence tampering. Why? #Nirbhaya2 #BengalHorror #DoctorsProtest #DoctorDeath
