GENITOURINARY CANCERS

Dr. Motzer reviews the efficacy and safety data from the KEYNOTE-427 trial.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Rohan Garje, MD, discussed how mutations such as TP53, RB1, and PTEN impact overall survival in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network has included ArteraAI in its clinical practice guidelines as a predictive test for localized prostate cancer.

Dr. Motzer discusses his view on the appropriateness of the initial therapy for this nccRCC patient, including key factors he considers when deciding on initial treatment.

Dr. Motzer provides his perspective on the notable aspects of this nccRCC case and how it compares to typical cases.

Neal Shore, MD, FACS, discusses a study aimed to investigate the real-world survival outcomes of men with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer treated with either apalutamide or enzalutamide in the United States.

While ECOG performance status proves crucial for predicting survival in patients with metastatic prostate cancer, its specific impact on mCSPC needs further investigation.

Subcutaneous nivolumab coformulated with rHuPH20 showed noninferiority of PK exposures compared with intravenous nivolumab in metastatic ccRCC.

Adjuvant pembrolizumab treatment significantly improved overall survival vs placebo in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

In the phase 3 CheckMate 914 trial, the use of nivolumab did not meet the primary endpoint of disease-free survival when compared to a placebo in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma at a heightened risk of relapse following nephrectomy.

Real-world, retrospective data showed that morphologic renal cell carcinoma types and tumor-stages helps to inform recurrence and prognosis.

In patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer unresponsive to BCG who underwent nadofaragene firadenovec (Adstiladrin) treatment, those who achieved urinary minimal residual disease (uMRD)-negative status showed no recurrences.

Individuals diagnosed with HRR gene-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) receiving olaparib face a critical requirement for timely and consistent genetic testing to enhance treatment outcomes.

The combination of olaparib and abiraterone acetate resulted in a postponement of disease progression and enhanced outcomes for individuals with mutations in BRCA, ATM, and CDK12 in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Research suggests that combining cabozantinib with atezolizumab could emerge as a promising alternative for individuals facing metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has advanced after novel hormonal therapy.

Oncological outcomes improved with the addition of abiraterone acetate (Zytiga) plus prednisone (AAP) and apalutamide (Erleada) after radical prostatectomy and did not significantly affect health-related quality of life.

While germline and somatic testing is standard of care in the metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer setting, it is still underutilized in the real world, leading to negative impacts on therapeutic offerings.

Patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer treated with darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel had lower rates of hospitalizations but marginally longer lengths of stay compared with those treated with placebo, androgen deprivation therapy, and docetaxel.

The FDA has approved erdafitinib for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma with FGFR3 alterations.

Francesca Jackson-Spence, PhD, and Matthew Young, MD, delved into the major advances in genitourinary cancer treatment, including breakthroughs in immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and early detection that offer new hope for patients.

In this Q&A discussion, Hans Hammers, MD, PhD, explains the rationale for continued use of tyrosine kinase inhibitor and PD-L1 therapy combinations, like lenvatinib and pembrolizumab, for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Three-year data showed durable clinical activity with nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg in patients with high-risk, BCG-unresponsive non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer with carcinoma in situ with or without papillary tumors.

The gene therapy, nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg, is now fully available across the United States for patients with this aggressive bladder cancer.

In season 5, episode 1 of Targeted Talks, Badrinath Konety, MD, delves into the critical topic of prostate cancer screening and discusses some of the recent advancements in the prostate cancer space.

Rucaparib showed a significant improvement in progression-free survival compared with docetaxel in metastatic castration- resistant prostate cancer.
