This pandemic has devastated the world, but we need to learn from it, learn from ourselves and our patients, to understand the disease and how to activate the immune system but not to overdrive. Goldilocks rule, just activated enough. 13/n

This GETUG VESPER phase 3 study probably definitive for neoadj ddMVAC vs gem-cis chemo for muscle-invasive #bladdercancer . Questions remain for 6 cycles vs 4, younger patient population, etc. For patients who are MVAC-fit, PFS & OS improved. @BladderCancerUS @OncoAlert #ESMO2021
