Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 216: Time of Day Impact on Immunotherapy Outcomes - Circadian Rhythm Part 1 Dr Alfred So (On behalf of NOTCH)
Q: Alfred walks us through the paper, the population studied, and the key methodological choices behind modeling time.
The study analyzed nearly 900 patients across 16 UK centers, focusing on the first infusion and using a sinusoidal Cox model to reflect circadian timing; they adjusted for prognostic factors and found no overall effect of infusion time on survival, but identified an interaction with neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio indicating potential subgroup benefits.
Episode 201: Bladder Cancer Reimagined - Part 3 - Muscle Invasive Perioperative Approach With Associate Professor Will Ince
Q: Is there a practical path to avoiding cystectomy for some patients if biomarkers and imaging all look good?
There is a hypothesis that if neoadjuvant therapy leads to CTDNA and UTDNA negativity and imaging/microcystoscopy are clear, some patients might avoid cystectomy, but definitive evidence and consensus are still developing, so it's not yet standard of care.
Episode 201: Bladder Cancer Reimagined - Part 3 - Muscle Invasive Perioperative Approach With Associate Professor Will Ince
Q: Can CTDNA data be used in real-time to guide perioperative decisions, or is it primarily a research tool right now?
Right now, CTDNA data is not yet ready for real-time clinical decision-making in the perioperative setting; it's still largely investigational, though Niagara provides encouraging signals about converting CTDNA positive patients to negative and correlating with responses.
Episode 196 : The role of Supportive Care in optimising immunotherapy and cancer outcomes Part 1 with Dr Dan Monnery Clatterbridge Cancer Centre
Q: What evidence supports delivering palliative care skills in generalist settings rather than always referring to specialists?
Evidence from population studies suggests that providing advanced care planning and symptom management in a generalist setting can lead to better end-of-life outcomes and patient preferences being achieved, reducing unnecessary reliance on specialist services when not needed.
Episode 196 : The role of Supportive Care in optimising immunotherapy and cancer outcomes Part 1 with Dr Dan Monnery Clatterbridge Cancer Centre
Q: How should clinicians introduce and navigate the transition to involve palliative or supportive care without causing alarm?
Be upfront about symptom management and the goals of care; explain that you are bringing in expert colleagues to manage complex symptoms and improve quality of life, not to imply a change in prognosis, and frame referrals in terms of specific needs and collaborative care.
