Dr Enrique Grande, a medical oncologist from Madrid, Spain, is our guest on Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind this week. Enrique is not your average oncologist nor your average podcast guest with a fascinating back story, a varied career and the charisma and wisdom to match!

To avoid giving too much away in this blurb, Enrique has worked in all facets of oncology, including industry and is helping transform how patients access oncology care in Spain. Listen on, and you will learn all there is to know about bladder cancer and the world of medical oncology.

We explore the #NIAGARA trial, #EV302 and many other trials that are changing the face of bladder cancer!

ESMO 2024 was the year genitourinary cancer took front and centre stage with many exciting updates, trials, and tribulations. This week, OFTIM brings their greatest champion back to dive deep into the changes that will impact our patients and their families, the NCCN guidelines, and how we practice medicine. Unfortunately, the heavyweight champion boxer was unavailable, but we got the next best thing - Prof Anthony Joshua from St Vincent's Health and The Garvan Institute of Medical Research. This week, he discusses all things genitourinary cancer and gives a knockout performance.

Enough boxing analogies - on with the show!

With ESMO 24 firmly in the rearview mirror, the dust settling, and the end of the year closing in, Michael and Josh take one final look at the trials that may change practice, direct research, or are just generally interesting. This week, we interviewed Dr Geoffrey Chong, a medical oncologist specialising in gastrointestinal cancers who currently holds appointments at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre and the Northern Hospital.

We have finally come to the end of ESMO 2024, and as is now tradition, Michael and Josh conclude their epic journey with a special episode highlighting their absolute favourite practice-changing selections from the Plenary Sessions. As always, ESMO brought a selection of wonderful studies that truly deserve the title "practice changing." As always, a huge thanks to everyone who joined us on this amazing journey. It has been a wonderful experience to attend a major international conference for the first time, and we are so privileged to be able to bring these results to you.

Stay tuned to Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind in the coming weeks as we will be starting our ESMO 2024: Retrospective miniseries, where we speak to experts in the areas of breast, lung, GI, GU and skin cancers and get their opinions on the goings on in Barcelona.

Day three of the European Society of Medical Oncology Congress had many exciting and potentially practice-changing trials in the genitourinary space. Gone are the days of urothelial cancer having a single treatment and prostate cancer only having androgen deprivation therapy.

They look at biomarkers for ADC response in bladder cancer, the use of lutetium upfront for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, and novel ADC use in metastatic urothelial carcinoma.
