Shilpa Gupta: Glad to present our work on physician-reported 1L treatment patterns in 5 European countries

Enrique Grande, recently shared a post by Shilpa Gupta on X, adding:

“We all always say that age is just a number, but it seems that when push comes to shove, those of us who treat patients with bladder cancer do take into account the patient’s age as an important parameter to take into account. Great piece of work by Shilpa Gupta!

Warming up for ASCO24.”

Quoting Shilpa Gupta’s post:

“Glad to present our work on physician-reported 1L treatment patterns in 5 European countries.

> 75% of patients offered systemic 1L treatment
Advanced age (> med 74 years) was a major criteria for not offering treatment.”
