Once a patient with bladder cancer has had a positive response to cancer treatment, what happens next? How can we extend survival while also reducing side effects?

Brendan Guercio, MD, specializes in treating patients with bladder cancer at Wilmot Cancer Institute. He presented on this topic to an audience of oncology experts at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting.

He summarized his talk here and also expressed excitement about other presentations at the meeting, specifically reports on antibody-drug conjugates for bladder cancer.

Dr. Guercio also received a Career Development Award from the Conquer Cancer Foundation of ASCO, with the support of the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN), to study how diet and the microbiome impact outcomes for patients with bladder cancer receiving standard-of-care treatment. We're very excited to see what we can learn in this area!
