Professor Xiaolin Lu Offers an In-Depth Analysis of the BCG Dilemma and the Future of Novel Intravesical and Combination Immunotherapies

Editor’s Note: The 15th Shanghai Urologic Oncology Academic Conference was grandly held in Pudong, Shanghai, bringing together leading experts in urologic oncology from China and abroad. The meeting focused on bladder-sparing strategies for non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), advances in novel intravesical agents, and the latest developments in immunotherapy. At the conference, Professor Xiaolin Lu from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center delivered a dedicated presentation from the perspective of intravesical therapy, systematically outlining the challenges in NMIBC management. He highlighted groundbreaking clinical trial results from the Fudan Cancer Center team on novel intravesical agents—particularly interleukin-15 (IL-15) and its fusion proteins, modified chemotherapeutic formulations, and oncolytic viruses—painting a new blueprint for the future treatment of NMIBC.

Global Perspectives at ASH |Professor Othman Al-Sawaf: The CLL17 Trial Redefines the Treatment Paradigm—Fixed-Duration Therapy Is Non-Inferior to Continuous Treatment

The widespread adoption of targeted therapies has significantly improved long-term outcomes for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, a critical question has remained unanswered: Is fixed-duration therapy as effective as continuous treatment? Until now, no prospective head-to-head evidence had directly compared these two strategies.
