Understanding causes of death in contemporary patients with prostate cancer is essential for proper survivorship management, according to investigators.
Trial data are still needed to clearly define the risks and benefits of using radiation therapy for nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer, according to investigators.
In a subgroup analysis, neither patient characteristics nor prior treatment history influenced response to a novel intravesical gene therapy for BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer.
This study examined bladder cancer that developed after radiation for any cancer potentially affecting the organ, not just prostate cancer.
PSA density is routinely collected as part of prostate cancer active surveillance protocols, so monitoring kinetics confers no extra costs or burdens on patients, according to investigators.
At 7.6 years, prostate cancer-specific and all-cause mortality were not significantly different among Black and White veterans.
Initial results from the RADICALS-RT study do not support routine administration of adjuvant radiation therapy after radical prostatectomy in patients at elevated risk for prostate cancer recurrence.
As current guidelines only include a weak recommendation to offer perioperative chemotherapy to patients with muscle-invasive upper tract urothelial carcinoma, a new meta-analysis including evidence up to February 2020 provides potentially useful information.
Survival was significantly improved in patients with greater disease burden.
