UC San Diego Health is the first health system in San Diego County to offer a new bladder-saving gene therapy to treat localized bladder cancer. The novel treatment is the first and only FDA-approved gene therapy delivered directly into the bladder for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). "The primary treatment for NMIBC in the past typically involved surgical resection, followed by therapies into the bladder, like immunotherapy or chemotherapy. Unfortunately, if these interventions proved ineffective, the standard course of action involved bladder removal, which poses a substantial morbidity risk,” said Amirali Salmasi, MD, associate professor of urology at UC San Diego School of Medicine, urologist at UC San Diego Health. “This innovative gene therapy approach holds promise in delaying or even eliminating the necessity for bladder removal.” To learn more about #BladderCancer care at UC San Diego Health, visit: https://lnkd.in/gj75m5dV

UC San Diego Associate Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry Erin Sundermann, Ph.D. and Associate Adjunct Professor of Neurosciences Sarah Banks, Ph.D. speak to CBS 8 San Diego on their The National Institutes of Health-funded research on Alzheimer’s disease, focusing specifically on women. Their study, called “Women: Inflammation and Tau,” is seeking more participants as the researchers work to understand how lifestyle and biological factors like sleep, physical activity, diet, sex hormones and inflammation all interrelate, possibly leading to more brain changes in women versus men. 📺 Watch: https://lnkd.in/g4z3amsh
