There is no breast cancer or colorectal cancer study in the ESMO 2026 Presidential Symposia🧐 I also struggle to see why DASL-HiCaP and VOLGA were given Presidential slots. In high-risk nonmetastatic prostate cancer, STAMPEDE already showed an overall survival benefit from adding abiraterone to androgen deprivation therapy. DASL-HiCaP may provide useful data for patients receiving salvage radiotherapy, but it does not compare darolutamide with abiraterone. In cisplatin-ineligible muscle-invasive bladder cancer, VOLGA tests perioperative enfortumab vedotin plus durvalumab against cystectomy-based standard care. Enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab has since shown a survival benefit and received FDA approval, yet VOLGA does not compare the two regimens. Both trials addressed real gaps when they were designed. Today, the lack of a comparison with the relevant active treatment makes their impact on treatment choice much less clear. I don’t feel particularly qualified to comment on genitourinary cancers, but I genuinely don’t understand why these two studies were selected for Presidential Symposia.

Really looking forward to the Presidential presentation of Phase 3 VOLGA @myESMO #ESMO26 Congrats to Tom @tompowles1 on another major UC presentation: Tom´s presidential sequence itself reflects how rapidly the field has evolved since 2023: EV-302 → NIAGARA → IMvigor011 → now VOLGA — from metastatic disease toward perioperative treatment and biomarker-guided strategies! EV-303 vs VOLGA raises one of the most important questions in perioperative MIBC: how much EV do we actually need? EV-303 established perioperative EV+pembrolizumab as a highly effective regimen, with EFS HR 0.40 and OS HR 0.50 versus radical cystectomy alone. VOLGA takes a different approach: 3 cycles of neoadjuvant EV + durvalumab ± tremelimumab, followed by surgery and adjuvant immunotherapy — without further EV. The positive topline results already show significant EFS benefit for both experimental strategies and significant OS benefit for EV+durvalumab So a key question for me will be: If the efficacy benchmarks are similar, do all patients really need adjuvant EV? This matters because EV toxicity is cumulative. The exposure–neuropathy relationship is striking, with higher EV exposure associated with earlier grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy. Interestingly, even in EV-303, only 67% of patients undergoing cystectomy started adjuvant therapy, already raising questions about the relative contributions of the pre- and postoperative components. Perhaps the next evolution is not simply more perioperative therapy, but response-adapted therapy: Who needs adjuvant EV — and who has already received enough before surgery? pCR, ctDNA/MRD and molecular biomarkers may ultimately help us answer this. Looking forward to VOLGA and seeing you in Madrid! 🎯 @OncoAlert @weoncologists @Uromigos @DrChoueiri @drenriquegrande @DrYukselUrun @UroDocAsh @urotoday @Markuseckstein3 @PTarantinoMD @raffcolo @amerseburger @Dr_Aggen @apolo_andrea @apolo_andrea

Niklas Klümper — #ESMO26 infographic or slide
Really looking forward to the Presidential presentation of Phase 3 VOLGA @myESMO #ESMO26 Congrats to Tom @tompowles1 on another major UC presentation: Tom´s presidential sequence itself reflects how rapidly the field has evolved since 2023: EV-302 → NIAGARA → IMvigor011 → now VOLGA — from metastatic disease toward perioperative treatment and biomarker-guided strategies! EV-303 vs VOLGA raises one of the most important questions in perioperative MIBC: how much EV do we actually need? EV-303 established perioperative EV+pembrolizumab as a highly effective regimen, with EFS HR 0.40 and OS HR 0.50 versus radical cystectomy alone. VOLGA takes a different approach: 3 cycles of neoadjuvant EV + durvalumab ± tremelimumab, followed by surgery and adjuvant immunotherapy — without further EV. The positive topline results already show significant EFS benefit for both experimental strategies and significant OS benefit for EV+durvalumab So a key question for me will be: If the efficacy benchmarks are similar, do all patients really need adjuvant EV? This matters because EV toxicity is cumulative. The exposure–neuropathy relationship is striking, with higher EV exposure associated with earlier grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy. Interestingly, even in EV-303, only 67% of patients undergoing cystectomy started adjuvant therapy, already raising questions about the relative contributions of the pre- and postoperative components. Perhaps the next evolution is not simply more perioperative therapy, but response-adapted therapy: Who needs adjuvant EV — and who has already received enough before surgery? pCR, ctDNA/MRD and molecular biomarkers may ultimately help us answer this. Looking forward to VOLGA and seeing you in Madrid! 🎯 @OncoAlert @weoncologists @Uromigos @DrChoueiri @drenriquegrande @DrYukselUrun @UroDocAsh @urotoday @Markuseckstein3 @PTarantinoMD @raffcolo @amerseburger @Dr_Aggen @apolo_andrea @apolo_andrea

[Slide 1] 5. Conclusions — In conclusion, our real-world experience provides supportive evidence that tarlatamab is an active and tolerable therapeutic agent for heavily pretreated patients with advanced SCLC. The findings are consistent with the utility of tarlatamab in SCLC. However, our study suggests that caution is warranted when considering the off-label extrapolation of SCLC therapies to EPSCC based solely on shared histology. The absence of responses in this small, biologically heterogeneous series without DLL3 testing raises a hypothesis that requires prospective biomarker-correlated evaluation and does not permit definitive conclusions regarding efficacy in EPSCC.
