Patients with high-risk prostate cancer who had a higher dose of radiation plus long-term androgen deprivation therapy tended to live longer than those who had a lower dose.

Real-world data demonstrated that knowing a patient’s stage and subtype of renal cell carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer, may provide cancer teams with the information needed to determine potential prognosis and recurrence risk.

Subcutaneous Opdivo led to similar outcomes to intravenous administration of the drug and may be easier to access down the road, an expert said.

Patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma had improved overall survival when treated with adjuvant Keytruda compared to placebo.

Opdivo failed to improve disease-free survival in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma at high risk of relapse, according to findings from CheckMate 914.

Urinary minimal residual disease-negative status was related to preventing the return of cancer when certain patients with bladder cancer received Adstiladrin.

Postsurgical Keytruda improved disease-free survival — but not overall survival — in patients with locally advanced, muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma experienced favorable progression-free survival, overall survival and objective response rates when treated with Padcev and Keytruda versus chemotherapy.

Patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer previously treated with external beam radiation therapy did not increase incidence of blood-related side effects with radium-223 compared with the overall population.

Frontline treatment with Keytruda and Cabometyx produced responses with a manageable safety profile in patients with cisplatin-ineligible urothelial carcinoma, a type of bladder cancer.

Nubeqa plus androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel to treat patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer lowered hospitalization rates but led to marginally longer lengths of stay compared with those treated with placebo, androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel.

Patients with bladder cancer being treated with the immunotherapy agent, Keytruda, should not hesitate to call their oncology team if something does not feel right, an expert said.

Approximately 40% of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer did not undergo certain types of tests that can be instrumental in treatment decisions.

Treatment with Zytiga, prednisone and Erleada plus another treatment regimen improved prostate cancer outcomes and did not change health-related quality of life outcomes.

Lynparza, Zytiga and prednisone led to improved progression-free survival and response rates in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

Cabometyx plus Tecentriq led to improved progression-free survival compared with novel hormonal therapy in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Long-term follow-up of Nubeqa for nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer showed that the drug was safe and effective in treating this patient population.

After a patient receives a kidney cancer diagnosis, there are some important conversations to have with their health care team.

An expert explains what patients with low-grade prostate cancer can expect when undergoing genomic testing — and why the procedure is important.

Important data may encourage gender-specific treatment making decisions for patients with bladder cancer.

A clinical trial is currently enrolling patients who are experiencing hand-foot skin reaction as a result of kidney cancer treatment.

The addition of Tecentriq to platinum-based chemotherapy/gemcitabine did not boost outcomes in patients with metastatic bladder cancer, according to results from the IMvigor 140 trial.

The addition of Cabometyx to Opdivo and Yervoy improved outcomes for patients with advanced kidney cancer, according to recent research.

Researchers identified several biomarkers that may indicate how a patient responds to Padcev, a type of antibody drug conjugate for patients with urothelial carcinoma, a type of bladder cancer.

The combination demonstrated survival benefit in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, regardless of risk or volume of disease.

The administration of Pluvicto within six months of radium-223 treatment proved to be safe and efficacious in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, research showed.

Patients treated with Nubeqa were less likely to develop disease metastasis or discontinue treatment 6 to 18 months after ARI course start compared to Xtandi or Erleada, according to data presented at ASCO GU.

Patients treated with Lutetium-177 PSMA-617 tended to experience improvements in quality of life related to the aches and pains that can come from bone metastases.

In a recent clinical trial, treatment with Bavencio plus Inlyta produced promising outcomes in the presurgical treatment of patients with non-metastatic, clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Treatment with Cabometyx before surgery in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer, may provide benefits, although further research is required before a decision is made about its role in presurgical treatment.
