Bladder Cancer Update with NIH Physicians

At Hope Connections, our educational programs give participants direct access to leading experts in cancer care. Recently, Dr. Chelluri and Dr. Chandran of the National Cancer Institute joined our Bladder Cancer Support Group to share the latest breakthroughs in treatment and research.

Highlights included:
-Innovative intravesical drug-delivery systems for both nonmuscle-invasive and muscle-invasive bladder cancer
-Immune checkpoint inhibitors (Opdivo, Keytruda, Imfinzi) proven to improve survival
-Circulating tumor DNA as a promising biomarker to guide treatment and monitor progress
-TAR-200 (“Inlexzo”), a newly FDA-approved system for controlled chemotherapy delivery
-Combination therapy with Padcev and Keytruda, now a global standard of care for metastatic bladder cancer

We are grateful to Dr. Chelluri and Dr. Chandran for sharing their expertise and creating a dynamic, approachable space for participants to learn and ask questions.

Can you believe it’s already been 3 years since we opened our new Bethesda location?

On September 16, 2022, we celebrated the big moment with a ribbon cutting, a first look inside our new space, and lots of joy shared with our community. None of it would have been possible without the generosity of our donors, the dedication of our board and committees, and the support of friends like YOU. 💙

Here’s a look back at that unforgettable day, and at how far we’ve come together. 💫

Hope is built here, week after week, and this cookout is just one glimpse of the strength and heart that define our community.
