E96 | Why Electricians In Social Housing Are Paid The Least Money! Kimmy never planned on being an electrician in construction, but after seeing what electrician installers were earning at the business she worked at.. she decided she wanted a slice of that rather lucrative pie! After being allowed to shadow the installers, she enrolled at College to obtain her electrician qualification, but realised she'd need an apprenticeship. Unable to find one locally, she thought of a way to not only get one, but make good money in the process. Kimmy goes on to describe her career as an electrician in the trades, including what really happens when working in Social Housing, how she was awarded the On The Tools 'Electrician of the Year' 2024 award, and how she is able to comfortably work only 2 days a week due to her social media earnings.

HOW TO GET INTO PLUMBING & becoming my own APPRENTICE Like most young people, Dave @boilerstobathrooms6267 had no idea what he wanted to do as a Career or hat to be an apprentice in. Luckily for him, his mother was prepared for such a situation - "Plumbing David, it pays well!"...so a plumbing apprentiship it was. It wasn't, however, as simple as that, plumbing it was. Dave struggled to find a plumbing Apprenticeship in the local area; something that he would require in order to become a fully qualified Plumber and Gas Engineer in the construction trade. "Well..." David thought, "Perhaps I could become my own Apprentice." Now, that might sound like something thought up during a drunken stupor, however it was exactly what Dave would go on do. He set up his own plumbing company, and employed himself to be his own plumbing Apprentice. Once he had his portfolio signed off, he would go on to complete his studies and become a fully qualified Plumber and Gas Engineer in the plumbing trade. But this was just the start of an eventful journey for Dave. Over the next few years, he would experience the horrors of Social Housing, the challenges of on-call work, angry and aggressive customers, and the importance of managing your finances. Yet somehow, with all this going on around him, Dave was able to create a piece of plumbing literature which would revolutionise the lives of so many Tradespeople from plumbers to electricians. "What piece of Literature?" I hear you ask. The aptly named... 'Breakdown Bible.' A Must for plumbers!

Guest host Dr. Neeraj Agarwal and Dr. Christian Kollmannsberger discuss practice-changing abstracts that were presented at the 2023 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, including results from the TALAPRO-2, PROpel, TRITON3, ARASENS, KEYNOTE-057, CheckMate 274, and CheckMate 9ER studies. TRANSCRIPT Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Hello and welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I'm Dr. Neeraj Agarwal, the director of the Genitourinary Oncology Program, and professor of Medicine at the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah, and editor-in-chief of the ASCO Daily News.  Today, we will be discussing practice-changing abstracts and other key advances in GU Oncology featured at the 2023 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. Joining me for this discussion is Dr. Christian Kollmannsberger, the chair of this year's ASCO GU. Dr. Kollmannsberger is a GU medical oncologist at the BC Cancer Vancouver Cancer Center and a clinical professor at the University of British Columbia.  Our full disclosures are available in the transcript of this episode, and the disclosures of all guests on the podcast can be found on our transcripts at asco.org/DNpod.  Christian, thank you for joining us on the podcast today.  Dr. Christian Kollmannsberger: Thank you very much, Neeraj. It's a real pleasure to be here and have this discussion. Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Thank you. So, Christian, the GU meeting featured remarkable progress in various GU malignancies. Could you please share some of the prominent topics that made the headlines this year and give us an overall feel of ASCO GU this year? Dr. Christian Kollmannsberger: Absolutely. I think it was a great meeting with over 5,800 attendees from more than 70 countries. And most of the attendees were in person, so it was a great event. ASCO GU is truly the premier global event to feature the very best of GU cancer research and treatment. The theme of this year's meeting was "Today's Science, Tomorrow's Treatment," and that was reflected in the novel scientific and clinical findings that were presented and will potentially lead to changes in our daily clinical practice. It also reminds us how quickly the development today is and how quickly novel scientific progress is immediately translated into clinical practice, particularly oncology.   I was very impressed by the meeting's emphasis on diversity, interactivity, networking, multidisciplinary collaboration, and evidence-based care. We introduced several new features such as a “Meet the Professor session, a women's networking event, etc. And the first day really kicked off with a very rich focus on prostate cancer and much attention given to PARP inhibitors in our first session. As an example, LBA 17 was the first late-breaking abstract presented. And congratulations to you, Neeraj, on delivering this exciting data on the TALAPRO-2 trial, which were eagerly awaited. Let's start with that. Can you tell us about this trial? Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Yes, of course. So the TALAPRO-2 trial was a phase 3 randomized trial where patients in newly diagnosed metastatic CRPC settings were randomized to standard of care enzalutamide plus placebo versus enzalutamide plus talazoparib PARP inhibitor. And as we know, Christian, the rationale has been that dual inhibition of PARP and AR may enhance the efficacy of each. And there's a laboratory preclinical rationale and based on which other studies have been done in the past. So, without getting into too much detail into the rationale for the trial, I'll come right to the results of the trial. So, this was the first-line mCRPC setting where rPFS was the primary endpoint as assessed by the independent radiology assessment. And in this trial, patients were recruited regardless of the homologous recombination repair gene alterations. So, patients were recruited and they were prospectively tested for whether they had these HRR gene alterations or not, but all comer population was included in this trial. And after a median follow-up of approximately 23 months, the trial read out, and we found that trial made the primary endpoint was improved radiographic progression-free survival with the rPFS being about 22 months in the enzalutamide arm and not reached in the combination arm with a 37% reduction in risk of progression or death.  If you look at the subgroup analysis of patients who were HRR+, there was a 54% reduction risk of progression or death. If you look at patients who were stratified in HRR- or unknown group, there was a 30% reduction risk of progression or death. If you specifically look at an exploratory analysis we did to look for patients who were HRR- by prospective tumor tissue testing; there was a 34% reduction in risk of death with a hazard ratio of 0.66 favoring the combination arm. So overall, the rPFS primary endpoint was met in all groups. We also see significant delay in PSA progression in the combination arm by more than nine months. We also see delays in the time to cytotoxic chemotherapy. We saw delay in progression or death on subsequent neoplastic therapy after the protocol treatment. We saw delays in deterioration of quality of life and global health status. All these were significant and happened on the talazoparib plus enzalutamide arm.  So overall, if you look at the totality of the data, these all favored the combination of talazoparib plus enzalutamide compared to enzalutamide alone. I want to highlight that overall survival is immature at 31% maturity with a hazard issue of 0.89, currently favoring enzalutamide plus talazoparib. But we'll have to look at more mature data as time passes.  Dr. Christian Kollmannsberger: Wow. Thank you, Neeraj. So, it sounds like that was a very positive trial, and it's potentially practice-changing. One of the concerns is always safety and toxicity. So can you tell us whether there were any new safety signals, and can you tell us more about the common adverse events that were noticed in TALAPRO-2? Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: No discussion is complete without talking about safety results, so I'm glad you asked me, Christian. The most common dose-affecting toxicity, if you will - so toxicities which led to dose modification and dose discontinuation of talazoparib were cytopenias, as we expect from this class of agents. So anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, these were the common toxicities. In fact, rate with anemia was 46.5%. Neutropenia and cytopenia were much less common.  I would like to highlight one fact which also came up during the discussion section after our oral presentation. The qualifying criteria for entry in this trial was a hemoglobin of 9-gram percent. And 49% of patients had grade 1 to 2 anemia at baseline, that is before starting treatment with talazoparib. So, we knew that if you mandate dose reduction, a lot of patients will not get adequate dosing of talazoparib. So, we waited for grade 3 anemia and then instituted dose reduction. And that I thought personally was a good strategy because the grade 3 anemia happened after a median duration of three months, 3.3 months to be more precise. And then, these patients underwent protocol-mandated dose reduction, following which the dose discontinuations were quite low actually. Only 8.3% patients discontinued talazoparib because of anemia, and the median dose intensity or median relative dose intensity of talazoparib in the talazoparib arm remained quite high at more than 80%, which translates to a talazoparib dose of 0.4 milligram daily when the starting dose was 0.5 milligram. So those were the hallmark of toxicities.   I do like to mention that those grade 3, 4 toxicities which are more known to affect the quality of life of our patients, such as grade 3, 4 anorexia, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, they were quite rare, happening in 1 to 4% patients who were on talazoparib. So overall, regarding the side effects, they were manageable, there were no new safety signals, and we could maintain adequate talazoparib dosing with dose reduction, which happened quite early during the protocol treatment.  Dr. Christian Kollmannsberger: Thank you, Neeraj. Very impressive results indeed. The patient population included in TALAPRO-2 was very similar to those included in the PROpel phase 3 trial, which tested the combination of abiraterone and olaparib in the first-line mCRPC setting. So, I'd like to just mention that we also saw LBA16 on the PROpel study, which was the final overall survival in PROpel, which was presented by Noel Clarke. So PROpel, as you know, was a randomized phase 3 trial evaluating efficacy and safety of olaparib plus abiraterone versus placebo plus abiraterone as first-line therapy for mCRPC in the first-line metastatic castration resistance setting. The enrollment in that study was independent of known defects in the homologous recombination repair gene pathway in contrast to other studies, such as MAGNITUDE, which tested the biomarker upfront. A total of 796 patients were randomly assigned to either olaparib plus abiraterone or placebo plus abiraterone. And we saw similar results, significant radiographic progression-free survival with olaparib plus abiraterone in PROpel, which was the primary endpoint similar to TALAPRO-2, and that was published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine Evidence.  Now, this abstract presented here at ASCO GU reported on overall survival with an overall survival majority of 47.9% and showed that with the addition of the PARP inhibitor olaparib to abiraterone, a statistically non-significant but clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival of about seven months were achieved compared to standard of care in abiraterone alone. The numbers were 42.1 versus 34.7 months in the all-comers population of patients in the first-line mCRPC setting. Importantly, I think the median overall survival of more than 42 months really represents the longest reported median overall survival thus far in a phase III trial for first-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Although the median overall survival for the non-HRR group remains not statistically significant, with a hazard ratio of 0.89. Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Such a great synopsis of the PROpel result data. Thank you, Christian, for highlighting these results. As we know, the combination is already approved by the EMA, the European Medical Agency, for patients in the first-line mCRPC setting who are not candidates for docetaxel chemotherapy. If this combination is approved by the FDA, we may have one more therapeutic option for our patients in first-line mCRPC.  So, just continuing on the PARP inhibitors, there was one more oral presentation with PARP inhibitor rucaparib by Dr. Alan Bryce from the Mayo Clinic, Arizona. This was Abstract 18 on the primary result of the TRITON3 trial. So to complete our PARP inhibitor section, I would like to summarize the result of the TRITON3 trial, which was a randomized phase III trial evaluating rucaparib versus physician choice, which notably included docetaxel in addition to abiraterone or enzalutamide in patients with chemotherapy-naive mCRPC with BRCA1, BRCA2 or ATM alterations. These patients had disease progression after having one novel hormonal therapy, or we call them second-generation androgen pathway inhibitors in any setting. So these patients had to have disease progression on a novel hormonal therapy.   In the BRCA subgroup and the subsequent intention to treat the population, the primary endpoint tested first was radiographic progression-free survival, and overall survival was the key secondary endpoint. The subgroup of patients with BRCA-altered disease had a median rPFS of 11.2 months with rucaparib compared to 6.4 months with physician choice of treatment - looks like almost doubling of the rPFS with the rucaparib. In the overall ITT population, median rPFS was 10.2 months with rucaparib and 6.4 months with the physician's choice of treatment. Although the overall survival data are immature, we still see a trend for improved overall survival with rucaparib. Regardless, the study clearly demonstrates the value of rucaparib for treating BRCA1 and BRCA2-altered mCRPC after disease progression on an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor. So these were the impressive results from the TRITON3 trial.  But before we switch to non-prostate abstract, I would like to complete the prostate cancer discussion by talking about the Abstract 15, which was based on the results of the ARASENS trial presented by Dr. Maha Hussain. As we know, ARASENS is a randomized phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy plus docetaxel versus androgen deprivation therapy or ADT plus docetaxel. So the triplet of ADT plus darolutamide plus docetaxel being compared to ADT plus docetaxel chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer. A total of 1,300 patients were randomly assigned to the doublet versus triplet. As presented in the last ASCO GU meeting exactly one year ago, the primary endpoint of the study was met with a significant improvement in overall survival and a 32% reduction in risk of death for patients on the triplet therapy with ADT plus docetaxel plus darolutamide versus ADT plus docetaxel chemotherapy. So triplet therapy was already approved based on these data.  The abstract presented by Dr. Hussain this year is a post-talk analysis where Dr. Hussain and colleagues investigated the impact of triplet therapy across patients with high volume versus low volume per chartered criteria and higher risk versus low risk using latitude trial criteria. And investigators knew that these results would be highly attractive to practicing oncologists who are now choosing treatment based on volume of disease or risk of disease, more commonly, volume of disease.  So, let's come to what was presented this ASCO GU. So, after 1,305 patients in ARASENS, the majority had high-volume disease and high-risk disease. Among patients with high-volume disease, the addition of darolutamide reduced the risk of death by 30% compared with ADT and docetaxel, with a hazard ratio of 0.69. In the risk groups, the addition of darolutamide seems to favor both high-risk and low-risk groups. Among patients with low-volume disease, there was a trend towards improvement in overall survival with the addition of darolutamide, but it did not reach statistical significance. The great news was that there was no new safety signal. So, to summarize these data, the triplet of darolutamide plus ADT plus docetaxel showed superior overall survival compared to doublet of ADT plus docetaxel, with an important caveat that triplet was not compared with any of the modern doublets of ADT plus a second generation androgen receptor pathways inhibitor such as abiraterone, apalutamide, or enzalutamide, or even darolutamide. So, I wish there was a third arm of ADT plus darolutamide.  Having said that, triplet can be considered a standard of care now based on these data for patients with metastatic hormone sensory prostate cancer, where we would be using ADT plus docetaxel chemotherapy. And from this meeting data, this efficacy of triplet can be applied to high-volume disease and all risk disease. And we just need more time to see how the data pans out in low-volume patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.  Dr. Christian Kollmannsberger: Yes, I completely agree, Neeraj. I think all the data presented in these abstracts are really impressive and will impact our daily clinical practice and our patients more or less immediately. I think the use of PARP inhibitors, whether as a monotherapy or in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors, as well as now the option of triplet therapy in the metastatic castration sensitive setting really offer patients with metastatic prostate cancer new treatment strategies and most importantly, improved survival outcomes. And it is impressive to see how we have pushed the prognosis and the outcomes for our patients with prostate cancer, I would say, in the last five to ten years. And similar to last year, I think the entire Prostate Cancer Day at ASCO GU 2023 was full with impressive data and featured dynamic content throughout the day. Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Indeed. So, let's move on to bladder cancer. Christian, what are your key takeaways from the bladder cancer studies presented at the meeting? Dr. Christian Kollmannsberger: I think there were interesting abstracts in both the non-muscle-invasive and the muscle-invasive setting and the metastatic setting. So, for example, Abstract 442 was presented by Dr. Andrea Necchi on the cohort B of the phase 2 KEYNOTE-057 trial. As a background here, the standard treatment for high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer involves transurethral resection of the bladder tumor, a TURBT, followed by intravesical BCG therapy to eradicate any residual disease. And patients who fail to adequately respond to BCG are usually recommended to undergo radical cystectomy. So in the cohort B of the phase 2  KEYNOTE-057 trial that investigated the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab as a single agent for patients with BCG-unresponsive, high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who were ineligible or declined to undergo radical cystectomy, enrolled patients received standard-dose pembrolizumab of 200 milligrams every three weeks for up to 35 cycles. So very common as we do it with other disease sites. And at a median follow-up of 45.4 months, the primary endpoints of disease-free survival at twelve months was 43.5%. The median disease-free survival duration was 7.7 months. These are encouraging results, and we should keep in mind that a radical cystectomy has immense impact on our patients' quality of life. So I think it is important that we do these trials.  Now in order to address potential biases in this phase II trial, such as the underlying heterogeneity of transurethral resection of bladder tumor quality, and to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of pembrolizumab's efficacy relative to a particular control group, we need further evaluation of pembrolizumab in a randomized trial before we can really go for regulatory approval. But overall, I think for the first time in a long time that we seem to be able to move the needle in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Thank you, Christian, for this great overview. Could you please also share the findings presented by Dr. Matt Galsky on Abstract 443? Dr. Christian Kollmannsberger: Of course, Neeraj. Abstract 443, presented by Matt Galsky, reported the extended follow-up results from the CheckMate 274 trial, which looked at another very important field where we haven't made that much progress, which is the adjuvant setting. And CheckMate 274 examined adjuvant nivolumab compared to placebo for patients with high-risk resected muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma. In this trial, nivolumab was given at 240 milligrams every two weeks or placebo every two weeks for up to one year of treatment. After following up with patients for a median of 36.1 months, the study found that those who received nivolumab had a median DFS of 22 months compared to only 10.9 months for those who received placebo among the ITT patients. So basically, a doubling of the DFS with the addition of adjuvant nivolumab.  The results were particularly notable for patients with high PD-L1 expressions or PD-L1 expression of 1% or more, as those who are treated with nivolumab had a median DFS of 52.6 months, which was six times higher than the DFS in the control group where patients received placebo, which was only 8.4 months. And I think that is truly impressive. One year of adjuvant therapy with nivolumab continues to show a sustained disease-free survival benefit over a period of three years in both the ITT and the PD-L1-high patient population. In my view, these results reinforce the utility of nivolumab in the adjuvant urothelial carcinoma setting after surgery. And it will be interesting to see how the overall survival pans out in this study.  So, Neeraj, moving on to kidney cancer, what were your key takeaways from these studies on kidney cancer presented in this meeting?  Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: So, there were exciting results presented from multiple studies in this area as well. For example, Abstract 603 presented by Dr. Mauricio Burotto, senior author was, Dr. Toni Choueiri on the three-year follow-up from the phase 2 CheckMate-9ER trial. So, in this trial, patients were randomized one-to-one to nivolumab 240 milligrams every two weeks, plus cabozantinib 40 milligrams daily versus sunitinib 50 milligrams daily for four weeks, and it was a six-week cycle for sunitinib until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. So this was the design of the phase 3 CheckMate-9ER trial. And after a median follow-up of three years, the benefit of nivolumab plus cabozantinib remained consistent with previous follow-ups. So, as we know, these data have been presented in the past, also published in the New England Journal of Medicine. But this meeting was a clear follow-up of these data.  Notably, the median overall survival of patients treated with cabozantinib plus nivolumab in the ITT population, which included all favorable intermediate and poor IMDC score patients, was significantly improved at 49.5 months compared to 35.5 months in the sunitinib arm. It is so heartening to see that median overall survival breaching the four-year mark in our patients with metastatic RCC in a consistent fashion. We saw similar data with the combination of ipilimumab plus nivolumab recently. And as these trials are maturing, we are probably going to see more combinations breaching this four-year mark. So importantly, no new safety signals emerged with the additional follow-up in either arm. And I think these results provide further support for the use of cabozantinib plus nivolumab as a first-line treatment option for patients with metastatic or advanced renal cell carcinoma. Dr. Christian Kollmannsberger: Indeed, I think it is extremely impressive what we've seen over the last 15 years in metastatic kidney cancer, going from a median overall survival of about a year to now more than four years. I think that is a great achievement, and we can see it on a daily basis in our clinical practice.  Now, before we wrap up, I would like to highlight another potentially practice-changing trial, LBA602, which titled, “Results from Phase 3 Study of 89Zr-DFO-Girentuximab for PET/CT Imaging of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: The ZIRCON Trial” presented by Dr. Brian Shuch. The background of this is that the detection of renal masses poses a challenge due to the limitations of diagnostic options such as imaging and biopsy. And we often, in clinical practice, are confronted with "What exactly is this?" And what's even more importantly, “What's the histology of this?” And a non-invasive, accurate method is needed for pre-treatment risk stratification. Girentuximab, a monoclonal antibody that targets carbonic anhydrase IX expressed on clear cell renal cell carcinoma, can obviously now aid in the differentiation between clear cell renal cell carcinomas and other renal lesions when radiolabeled with this new agent.  The ZIRCON trial was open-label and designed to include patients with renal masses up to 7 cm in size or clear tumor stage cT1 who were scheduled for partial nephrectomy within 90 days of planned TLX250-CDx administration. The enrolled patients received a single intravenous dose of girentuximab on day 0 and underwent FDG PET/CT imaging on day 5 before their scheduled surgery. And the co-primary endpoints were to assess the sensitivity and specificity of girentuximab PET/CT imaging for detecting clear cell renal cell carcinoma in patients with indeterminate renal masses, with histology as the reference standard, which I think is a great way to test these agents because you get 100% validation.  In the primary analysis of 284 patients, the average sensitivity and specificity across all three central readers were 86% and 87%, respectively, exceeding the prespecified thresholds. The positive and negative predictive values were 93.4% and 78%, respectively. And with very few related adverse events reported, the study affirms that girentuximab PET/CT is safe and effective in identifying clear cell renal cell carcinoma in patients with indeterminate renal masses. And the findings hold potential for developing optimal management strategies for patients with indeterminate renal masses. I think this is important that we add a non-invasive method to this because we are confronted on a regular basis with patients who either cannot tolerate a biopsy or where the biopsy is indeterminate. And this could potentially be a great tool to help us with our pre-treatment planning of our treatment strategy. Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Wow. So, it looks like a new PET scan using a unique tracer and antibody to detect the clear cell renal cell carcinoma with high specificity and sensitivity. It reminds me of drawing a crude analogy from the PSMA PET scan in prostate cancer. And hopefully, we will be able to use these newer scans that we call TLX250-CDx PET/CT scan. I hope they have a simpler name for this very soon. Or maybe follow up for patients who had kidney cancer, localized kidney cancer taken out by radical surgery, and then we are following them. And sometimes, we don't know if a small lung nodule is metastatic or not. And these kinds of imaging studies may help us down the line in monitoring those patients as well. So indeed, very exciting progress not only in the therapeutic area now but also in diagnostic fields at this GU ASCO.   So with that, we have seen multiple abstracts on prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer with real impact on how we practice medicine.

S3-E41.1 - Improving NASH Clinical Trials By Reducing Screen Fail Rates

THE NASH Tsunami audience came to know Jörn Schattenberg in the Fall of 2020 when he shared a paper he had recently co-authored on why NASH drug trials failed. This week, the same group that discussed that paper – Jörn, Stephen Harrison, Louise Campbell and Roger Green – reflect on what has improved in the intervening time period and what has not. After Roger Green sets the stage for this conversation, Jörn reflects back on the 2020 paper he co-authored with Joost Drenth and considers important changes in patient screening since then.  In his own words, “The way we use biomarkers and AI to augment outcomes has changed the field dramatically.” Whereas biopsy used to be the core method used to recruit patients, Jörn notes that many practitioners now rely on NITs to assess the patient's likelihood of screening into a trial before conducting a biopsy. The result is a significant reduction in non-essential biopsies. Stephen follows Jörn by discussing ways his own practice has benefitted greatly from the developing a prescreen strategy that relies heavily on NITs. Instead of doing "five biopsies a day, maybe 25 or 30 a week," he now starts with FAST scores and cT1 and, if these seem promising, moves to multiparametric MRI before deciding who to biopsy. Specifically, his practice is now able to utilize VCTE (FibroScan) and other NITs to mine data in real time and refer patients to the proper clinical trial as a result. As the episode winds down, Stephen alludes to the idea of "mid-trial corrections" in pre-biopsy NIT screening criteria and advances in how biopsies are read in trials today as other areas where procedure has improved markedly.

As the NASH pandemic grows in the number and diversity of patient cases, one patient group receiving increased notice includes patients with "lean NASH," those whose BMI levels are "normal." Last month, Gastroenterology published Best Practice recommendations for diagnosing and treating lean NASH. Two of the authors, Drs. Michelle Long and Mazen Noureddin, were good enough to come on the podcast to share the thinking behind this article along with its key observations and recommendations.This conversation starts with Roger Green asking Michelle and Mazen how they came to write this piece and how the paper came together working with co-author, Dr. Joseph Lim. First, as Michelle notes, "we had to all get on the same page," on the issue of the highest BMI that would be considered lean or, more precisely, not overweight. From there, the team outlined 15 Best Practices based on clinical experience, and set out to refine these based on relevant literature and recommendations from colleagues and reviewers. The co-authors note that while little of what they learned while preparing this paper was surprising, it forced them to focus on creating a fairly simple set of stepwise goals for clinicians to follow.  Louise Campbell joins the conversation to praise the simplicity and clarity of the Best Practices chart the co-authors created. After noting that this algorithm is not very different from others,  Mazen goes on to mention "a couple of things...that we're proud of:" identification of high-risk patients based on age (over 40) or presence of Type 2 diabetes. He also notes that they provided greater clarity around more advanced non-invasive tests like ELF, MAST, FAST, MEFIB, MRI, and cT1.The conversation shifts to focus on the recommendation to retest every 6 or 12 months. Louise notes this approvingly. The group agrees that screening T2D patients annually using FIB-4 is not very different than screening annually for eye, kidney or neurological complications. Roger Green joins the conversation to suggest a 3-5 year follow-up recommendation is not patient-centric, but might calm payers concerned about skyrocketing costs of treating Fatty Liver disease. Mazen shares his expectation that yearly evaluation will be cost-effective and patient-centric. Roger shares an informal belief he has developed that whether due to later stage diagnoses or different disease pathogenesis, lean NASH patients might be more costly because patients progress to cirrhosis more quickly after the original diagnosis. Michelle tends to agree but notes that more research is needed on this.Next, the conversation shifts toward diagnostic approaches. Roger mentions the possible benefit of the "Fibrosis First" method that Ian Rowe discussed the previous week (S3, E39), particularly appropriate when primary care providers observe danger signs in lean patients. Mazen points to extremely elevated liver enzyme levels (ALT of 80 or 90). Michelle agrees, but notes that most of her lean NASH patients are diagnosed in an ED with complications of cirrhosis. The group then spends time asking what might make primary care providers comfortable testing for fibrosis, even if only to pass the patient on to the appropriate specialist.  Roger asks what different groups can learn from this paper. Michelle states that this is a clear call for more research. Mazen points to Table 2 in the paper, which lists other diseases that hepatologists should consider when evaluating these patients. He continues to state that the document is helpful for non-hepatologists and hepatologists alike. Finally, he points out that clinical trials are pivotal for these patients. The last several moments focus on how to ask patients about alcohol consumption and then the closing question. Michelle notes the importance of using lists and tables in the paper to guide the special issues in treating these patients.

Rather than focusing on static measurements of "what shouldn't be there," Lars discusses the measurement of "what should" - for example, the interplay of fibrosis and fibrogenesis. Most striking, he describes an array of leading edge and state of the art imaging techniques that shift focus from today's "what shouldn't" targets (fat and fibrosis) to "what should" (functioning hepatocytes, to give one example.) This different viewpoint combines with the novel imaging tools and approaches to create an episode that might leave you repeatedly thinking "Oh, Wow!"

Her early years were all about gymnastics, ballet, and dancing. Always competitive; after dancing marathon running became a passion. Completing 10 marathons and top 10 finish at OBX as a master. A friend suggested she might enjoy cycling and racing. Multi-sport and bikes came into her life. She took her love of running and cycling ability to secure a spot on team USA for world championships in Duathlon. Placing 9th in her age group at worlds in distance duathlon. What’s next Ironman! She was 49 and thought let’s go big for the big one at 50! – Completing Ironman Wisconsin was the culmination of dream accomplishment. After Ironman, her loves of bikes turned into racing cyclocross and mountain biking. Then life changed forever in September 2017, she was participating in local bike festival promoting cycling and during a stunt on live television, she fell and broke my neck in 2 places . she her C-1 in half and had 4-5 fusion resulting in paralysis of my upper body extremities. Navigating the “New Me” made Ironman feel easy. Retraining nerves, making arms, hands, and fingers respond was crazy hard. A team of OT and PT at Metro-Health System, Cleveland, Ohio and weeks of intense work made it all happen. she had the goal of getting back to riding again, she made her return to riding at Global Fit Bike Ride Day December 3, 2017. Three months post-accident. Being active and helping others experience the joys of sport has been woven in my lifestyle with mentoring programs and social media groups. She can run and ride now, still recovering with spinal cord issues and another surgery to remove hardware holding her CT1 in place is next.

Supersensitive PSA-Monitored neoadjuvant hormone treatment of clinically localized prostate cancer: Effects on positive margins, tumor detection and epithelial cells in bone marrow

Objective: The present study was done to investigate the effects of supersensitive PSA-controlled inductive treatment on positive margins, detection of tumor and epithelial cells in bone marrow of 101 patients with untreated and clinically localized prostatic carcinoma (cT1-3N0M0). Methods: Hormonal treatment was given until PSA (DPD Immulite(R) third-generation assay) reached 500 cases) and using immunohistochemical staining, were unable to detect carcinoma in 15 (15%) specimens. Whereas only 2 (4%) of the 55 cT3 specimens were without detectable tumor, this incidence rised to 28% (13 of 46 prostates) in patients with cT1-2 tumors. Of the initial 29 patients with epithelial cells in bone marrow, only 4 (14%) remained positive after controlled induction and all of them had fewer cells than before. Conclusion: Endocrine induction controlled by a supersensitive PSA assay and continued until reaching PSA nadir is highly effective in clearing surgical margins and eliminating tumor cells from bone marrow. It seems to be clearly superior to the conventional 3 months of pretreatment at least in cT1-2 tumors in respect to surgical margins and detectability of tumor in the resected prostate. A definitive statement about the value of endocrine induction can only be given by prospective randomized studies, with optimal drugs, doses and treatment time. But the conventional 3 months of pretreatment are far from exploiting the possibilities of this therapeutic option.
