Findings from the international FORT-2 clinical trial showed that a combination treatment including immunotherapy is safe and tolerable in patients with locally advanced or metastatic bladder cancer. The results, which were recently published in JAMA Oncology, show potential to broaden the number of patients with bladder cancer who could benefit from immunotherapy, an approach that harnesses a patient's own immune system to fight cancer.
It was truly a Labor Day weekend to remember at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where transplant teams performed 10 kidney transplants in two days — and that was before even getting to Labor Day.

UW Medicine researchers found that patients who underwent the stone-moving ultrasound procedure had a 70% lower risk of such a recurrence. The Journal of Urology published the findings in August.
In northern Nigeria, more people need epilepsy treatment than traditional medical care can support. Dr. Edwin Trevathan discusses projects aimed at identifying children with undiagnosed epilepsy and improving access to care, as well as research to better understand the risks and prognosis of pediatric status epilepticus.
