About Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the US and is the fourth most common cancer found in men in the US.(1, 2) It is estimated that there will be 80,470 new cases of bladder cancer and 17,670 deaths due to bladder cancer in 2019.(3) Risk factors for bladder cancer include advancing age, cigarette smoking, occupational exposure to dyes, tar, rubber and solvent, and chronic bladder irritation and infections.(4) Bladder cancer is one of the most expensive cancers to manage. It is estimated that upwards of $5.71 billion will be spent on bladder cancer in the US in the year 2020.(5)

Bladder cancer is classified into two types, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), depending on the depth of invasion in the bladder wall.(4) NMIBC is in the inner layer of cells.(3) These cancers are the most common (75%) of all bladder cancer cases and include the subtypes carcinoma in situ (CIS), Ta and T1 lesions.(5) MIBC is when the cancer has grown into deeper layers of the bladder wall.(2) These cancers, including subtypes T2, T3 and T4, are more likely to spread and are harder to treat.(6)

Photocure sees great opportunities in Australia and our partner Juno will be applying for reimbursement of the drug in the near future,” says Dan Schneider, President and CEO of Photocure.

Blue Light Cystoscopy with hexaminolevulinate for improved diagnosis, treatment and management of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer will from May 1,2019 be listed under new medical benefit schedule (MBS) items giving additional fees for the use of Hexvix with rigid cystoscopes compared to white light rigid cystoscopy alone.

Four new MBS items have been established specifically for Hexvix rigid cystoscopy: Two covering Hexvix rigid cystoscopy with biopsy and ureteroscopy, and two covering rigid cystoscopy with resection.

“When Blue Light Cystoscopy with Hexvix is used with a rigid cystoscope the providers will bill and get reimbursement for the instillation procedure. This is an additional reimbursement compared to using white light cystoscopy alone, and an instillation specific fee for the BLC procedure. We look forward to continuing to work with Juno and the Australian authorities towards our goal of full reimbursement”, Schneider concludes.

Hovedkonkurrenten:

Olympus Urology Europe (OlympusUrology)

[Bingo123]

Tøff konkurrent ?

[Rodjer]

Det er en konkurrent, men BLC er WL og NBI overlegen.
Utfra Schneider sine uttalelser er det nok ikke usannsynlig at PHO på et tidspunkt inngår samarbeid med Olympus også.
Om dette har blitt uttalt for å presse KS eller om det er reelt vites ikke, men mener bestemt at det er dialog.

[Bingo123]

Hvis produktene til Photocure er helt overlegne, hva er da grunnen til at Olympus i det hele tatt holder på? Er det soleklart for alle at blålys fra photocure er vinneren?

[Rodjer]

Det finnes lassevis av artikler om dette og jeg har ikke anledning å finne dem fram nå, men denne hadde jeg liggende så du kan starte med den.

NBI (Narrow Band Imaging) er en annen teknologi innen enhanced cystocopy
FDA gir BLC grade B, mens NBI bare får Grade C.

https://www.urologytimes.com/genitourinary-cancers/point-stand-alone-white-light-cystoscopy-thing-past

Blc er dyrere i bruk, men når det gjelder å overleve og å beholde blæren er det ikke tvil om at Blc gir pasientene størst sjanse.

[Snoeffelen]

NBI hadde ikke god nok klinisk dokumentasjon til å få refusjon, BLC har overbevisende klinisk dokumentasjon og får refusjon.

[Londonmannen]

Slik er fet med den saken.

Vi går nå inn i slutten av april og like inn i mai kommer Q1. Noe overskudd blir det ikke, men spennende å høre siste nytt om problemene KS hadde høsten 2018 og utpå vinteren 2019, samt antall nye scope utplassert. Men tviler på at det er nok sprengstoff til at det skjer noe revolusjonerende med kursen. Må nok vente til uti 2H før det drar seg til.

25/04-2019 09:43:57: (PHO) Photocure - Urology Experts publish guidelines for best use of BLC with Cysview® in the surveillance of bladder cancer

An expert panel published their consensus opinion regarding when and how to use Cysview, to detect bladder cancer using a flexible cystoscope. Link: Nature Reviews Consensus (https://go.nature.com/2GxBrWB)

The expert panel of Urologists discussed key factors that must be considered to use BLC with Cysview in everyday practice after an extensive review of literature, their key conclusions were:
…

Vis børsmeldingen

A strong recommendation for:

· the first follow-up cystoscopy at 3 months after TURBT for intermediate and high-risk patients
· at the 3 and 6 months surveillance cystoscopy, and then every 6 months for high risk patients in the first two years

Most recommended:

· prior to intravesical therapy if there is concern for residual disease after TURBT
· use at time of office fulguration and/or biopsy for low grade tumors

In addition, it was concluded that BLC with Cysview may have a role in evaluating patients with a positive cytology or equivocal lesions on WLC.

“BLC with Cysview has been included in the AUA/SUO guidelines since 2016, and has strong data supporting its use to improve detection of cancer over white light cystoscopy. The 2019 Nature publication provides a road map for when to use BLC with Cysview during office cystoscopy as well as how to integrate it into clinical practice.  The University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) was the first hospital in the United States to integrate Cysview into the clinic setting for surveillance cystoscopy as well as for TURBT in the operating room.  By using BLC with Cysview for patients in surveillance patient outcomes should improve and provide benefits to patients and those managing Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC),” says Dr. Yair Lotan M.D., Professor of Urology Helen J. and Robert S, Strauss Professorship in Urology, UTSW and the lead author on the Consensus paper.

“The expanded US label for BLC with Cysview being supported by practical recommendations for use means that more patients will have access to better management of their disease. This is an important step towards our vision of driving change in bladder cancer management,” commented Dan Schneider, President and Chief Executive Officer of Photocure ASA.

About Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the US and is the fourth most common cancer found in men in the US1, 2, 3. In 2018, it is estimated that there will be 81,190 new cases of bladder cancer will occur along with 17,240 deaths due to bladder cancer. Risk factors for bladder cancer include advancing age, cigarette smoking, occupational exposure to dyes, tar, rubber and solvent, chronic bladder irritation and infections, and prior diagnosis of bladder cancer. Bladder cancer is one of the most expensive cancers to manage, accounting for approximately $3.7 billion in direct costs each year4,5

Bladder cancer is classified into two types, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), depending on the depth of invasion in the bladder wall.2 NMIBC is still in the inner layer of cells. These cancers are the most common (75%) of all BC cases and include the subtypes Ta, carcinoma in situ (CIS) and T1 lesions. MIBC is when the cancer has grown into deeper layers of the bladder wall. These cancers, including subtypes T2, T3 and T4, are more likely to spread and are harder to treat.2

Er ganske mange som ikke har fått med seg hvor lenge PHO nå har trendet oppover, dog med en god del volatilitet. Her er chart tilbake til August 2017.

Dette blir veldig interessant når en ser den opp i mot alle de positive fundamentale nyhetene vi har fått det siste året.

Jeg synes NOK 48 er et veldig interessant punkt i Photocure.
