Cancer trials should fit patients' lives. A BMJ Oncology editorial calls for flexible remote, local or hospital visits to reduce burden and improve access. @angelacwebster @JiaJennyLiu bmjoncology.bmj.com/content/…

Every cancer organ gets the same sequence: surgery is the standard, then trials show you often don't need it, then surgery becomes the salvage. Breast, larynx, limb, rectum, esophagus, mesothelioma. Bladder is next. Patients want their organs. 🧵

Reviewer 2 strikes again...🤦🏽‍♀️
In 1992 Peter Ratcliffe received this rejection from Nature. Almost 30 years later he won the Nobel Prize for the same discovery. Don't lose faith in the things you believe in.

#ASTRO2026 What if radioresistance in bladder cancer is dynamic, shaped by tumor-intrinsic biology, hypoxia and the TME? @achoud72 presented pre-clinical work challenging this paradigm: 🔹Acquired resistance implicated RAD51C, VTN & MYL9 🔹Hypoxia screens identified STAMBP & YAP1 as response modifiers 🔹 Hypoxic tumors showed substantial CNV burden, particularly on chr9 🔹3D tumor-like models are integrating matrix stiffness, tumor genomics & immune cells to better recreate RT response @UroToday @ASTRO_org
