While Josh and Michael enjoy a good rambling, meandering podcast as much as the next guy, we made a promise to keep our coverage of the ASCO GU 2024 conference short and sweet. So, as promised, here is the second - and final - episode of our miniseries. For a change of pace, one of our studies involves the adjuvant use of immunotherapy! Specifically, AMBASSADOR looks at pembrolizumab in patients with early urothelial cancer, a patient cohort that is crying out for more effective treatments for early-stage disease. Meanwhile, Josh tries to \"BRCAAway\" from our comfort zone by discussing the latest trial examining the use of PARP inhibitors in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Yes, we'll show ourselves out now.
