In this MEDtalk from ESMO 2024, Dr Ingrid Dyvik from Oslo University Hospital presents findings from the IMPRESS-Norway trial. This trial evaluates the efficacy of anti-cancer drugs in new indications. Dyvik highlights the role of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in precision oncology. 🔗 Read more about ESMO 2024 here: https://lnkd.in/dW66xcnP #ESMO24 #Cancer #DNA

The Danish TOMBOLA trial aims to use ctDNA as a better predictor of recurrence than conventional risk factors in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Jørgen Bjerggaard Jensen presented the results at ESMO - European Society for Medical Oncology 2024, and the preliminary results suggest that ctDNA-guided immunotherapy could significantly reduce overtreatment and improve outcomes. The trial is moving toward implementing this at Aarhus University Hospital. 🔗See more from ESMO24: https://lnkd.in/dW66xcnP #ESMO24 #Bladdercancer
