Dr Nappi on stage at ASCO 2026 presenting interim results for CCTG trial

The interim results of the GCC.1 / S1823 study were presented at ASCO 2026 during the Genitourinary Cancer Session. The study focuses on patients with early-stage germ cell tumors and the blood biomarker microribonucleic acid (miRNA) 371a-3p (called miR371). The presence of miR371 may allow clinicians to identify patients at higher risk of relapse earlier and more accurately than current monitoring approaches.
