Lung cancer treatment has changed seismically since 2018 and the NEJM publication of Keynote 189. This week, we have Dr. Ned Mcnamee on the show to give us his highlights of lung cancer updates from ESMO 2024. He explores the resectable lung cancer space with Checkmate-77T; crosses the ADRIATIC trial in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer, and brings in a home run with an updated LAURA trial mention (osimertinib after definitive chemoradiotherapy)

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.
Enjoy!

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.

The European Society of Medical Oncology Congress has begun, and Michael and Josh are on the ground, bringing you breaking studies and heartbreaks along with some important updates in the science and art of medical oncology.
Michael and Josh cover a range of tumour types on day one, a slight deviation from our regular coverage. They look at hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cancers, and breast cancer, an eclectic but exciting mix of cancer types.
Michael investigates HCC treatment with iparomlimab and tuvonaralimab with bevacizumab in a first line setting, along with some updated efficacy from the IMbrave050 trial. He finishes off his whirlwind tour of day one summarising some interesting education points in the metastatic colorectal cancer space. Josh looks at Tivozanib-Nivolumab in advanced RCC following immunotherapy, along with another trial where Belzutifan may be another treatment option. He finishes up with HER3-directed therapy!

Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind has been privileged to interview some truly brilliant specialists, and this week's guest is no exception. Professor Anthony Joshua is the Head of Oncology at the Kinghorn Cancer Centre and St Vincent's Health in Sydney. He is a globally recognised expert in genitourinary cancers and melanoma, with a special interest in ocular melanoma.
Professor Joshua completed his PhD in prostatic carcinogenesis under the supervision of Dr Jeremy Squire and a clinical fellowship under Dr Ian Tannock. He worked at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre before returning down under and has helped reshape cancer care at the Kinghorn Cancer Centre, making it one of the largest trial centres in New South Wales. Today, Professor Joshua discusses his journey, the landscape of prostate cancer, and some of his research in the area of ocular melanoma.
Professor Anthony Joshua is not a professional British boxer. To find out more about Professor Anthony Joshua's research portfolio, click here

Oncolytic viruses thrive in cancer cells and can replicate rapidly, destroying the cells and enabling the immune system to attack tumours. This week, we interview Dr Malcolm McColl and Prof Darren Shafren, a dynamic duo in Australian biotechnology and part of the leadership team of ImmVirx, a viral oncolytic company. Prior to creating ImmVirx, they successfully launched the product Cavatak, used in melanoma and other malignancies.
ImmVirx has developed a proprietary bio-selected RNA virus that is showing promising pre-clinical and phase 1 results as monotherapy in hard-to-treat cancers, including colorectal, gastric hepatocellular and ovarian cancers.
