Andrea Necchi: Multidisciplinary Consensus on CR and EFS for Bladder Cancer Trials

Andrea Necchi, Associate Editor at Journal of Clinical Oncology, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“The Milan Consensus paper on Clinical CR definition & Endpoints for next-gen bladder-sparing trials is out in JCO Journals American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) | following the Ospedale San Raffaele GURetreat24.

Co-sponsored by IBCG, GSRGT
