Petros Grivas, Professor at University of Washington and Fred Hutch, shared an update from Ashish M. Kamat, Associated Editor at European Urology Oncology, on X, adding:
“Fantastic meeting IBCG with stellar colleagues, networking, input from regulators, inspiration from patients, so energized!”

Quoting Ashish M. Kamat:
“I haven’t posted much during IBCG26, as wonderfully busy as it’s been, but I have to post this. IMHO, the most important part of our meeting: the Patient Perspective panel. A reminder of why we are all here.
20 years ago, IBCG started with a small group around a table. Later this month, friends and colleagues from around the world gather in Houston for IBCG26. Two days around the table tackling some of the hardest questions in bladder cancer, debating the evidence and challenging each other on where we go next. Looking forward to seeing you all!”
