Expert Interview of Specialist Insights in Urothelial Cancer
Release date: 25-10-2024
Expiration date: 24-10-2025
The therapeutic landscape for urothelial cancer has undergone significant transformation in recent years, with the addition of PD1/PD-L1 targeting immune checkpoint inhibitors and novel targeted therapies and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) adding to the complexity of treatment options available for patients throughout the course of their disease. The optimal sequencing of treatments depends on an understanding of the relevance of different pathological subtypes of the disease and of the latest clinical evidence and guidelines that support the use of different therapies. These considerations were discussed in detail during the recent ‘Urothelial Cancer Preceptorship’, in which experts in the field provided a detailed grounding of the disease process and management from diagnosis through to salvage treatments of advanced disease.
View the Expert Interview on Specialist Insights in Urothelial Cancer from each faculty member which features specific expert insights on the topics related to the faculty presentations and the key questions discussed during the preceptorship. The enduring materials aimed to enable clinicians to integrate the latest advances and use of novel therapies for advanced urothelial cancer into safe and effective patient care. The presentation slides of the Preceptorship are also available to download.
Based on the Expert Interview of Specialist Insights and Preceptorship held on 18 and 19 September 2024.

Francisco X. Real(Paco),MD,PhD自2004年起任西班牙巴塞罗那庞贝大学法布拉分校细胞生物学教授,2007年起也在西班牙马德里西班牙国家癌症研究中心(CNIO)工作。他于1980年在巴塞罗那大学获得MD学位,于1986年获得PhD学位。1986年至1988年在纽约纪念医院接受肿瘤内科培训,并担任内科医师。他在纪念斯隆-凯特琳癌症中心(MSKCC)的Lloyd J. Old实验室开展了博士和博士后工作。他关注于开发治疗黑色素瘤和上皮癌的免疫学策略。1988年,他加入了巴塞罗那市立医学研究所,在那里他专注于上皮癌的细胞和分子生物学。他还参与了庞培法布拉大学生物医学科学研究所的建立。
在CNIO,Real教授的研究组在胰腺癌和胰腺炎的分子机制以及膀胱癌和胰腺癌的分子病理学和流行病学领域做出了重大贡献。他的工作结合了患者样本、培养细胞和转基因小鼠的使用,并使用所有研究材料去探索出相近的相关性。该研究组工作的一个重要目的是使实验室产生的基础知识去提高对疾病的认识,并制定预防、早期诊断和治疗胰腺癌和膀胱癌的改进策略。
Real教授已发表原创性论文300余篇,其论文发表在Nature、Nature Genetics、Nature Cell Biology、Nature Communications、Nature Reviews Cancer、Gut、Gastroenterology、PNAS、JNCI、J Clin Invest、N Engl J Med、Lancet等杂志。他的论文被引用超过29000次(谷歌学术搜索),他的H指数为96。他是多个机构科学咨询委员会的成员,包括英国癌症研究研发委员会(伦敦)、Cordeliers研究中心(巴黎)、CARPEM(巴黎)、英国胰腺癌研究中心(伦敦)和国家科学研究基金会(布鲁塞尔)。他是Gut和Bladder Cancer的副主编。2015年,曾任欧洲胰腺俱乐部主席。
