What stage do you tell them?

Yeah, say T2 and 0.

Amanda, I asked you stage two bladder cancer to the patient.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 287 Urothelial Carcinoma: Understanding CTDNA and Precision Medicine with Dr. Amanda Nizam and Dr. Brad McGregor

They think, oh, stage two is not a big beast, is it?

Ep. 287 Urothelial Carcinoma: Understanding CTDNA and Precision Medicine with Dr. Amanda Nizam and Dr. Brad McGregor

This is pretty sick.

Ep. 287 Urothelial Carcinoma: Understanding CTDNA and Precision Medicine with Dr. Amanda Nizam and Dr. Brad McGregor

Hey, we can cure this easily.

With stage two breast cancer, I heard the survival is good.

With stage two colon cancer, survival is really good.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 287 Urothelial Carcinoma: Understanding CTDNA and Precision Medicine with Dr. Amanda Nizam and Dr. Brad McGregor

But what's the survival traditionally with MFBC, which is labeled stage two?

Do we feel like...

BackTable Urology
Ep. 287 Urothelial Carcinoma: Understanding CTDNA and Precision Medicine with Dr. Amanda Nizam and Dr. Brad McGregor

What's your discussion with patients?

BackTable Urology
Ep. 287 Urothelial Carcinoma: Understanding CTDNA and Precision Medicine with Dr. Amanda Nizam and Dr. Brad McGregor
