Positive vs Negative Lymph Nodes Portend Worse Prognosis in Stage 3 RCC
In a study involving stage 3 RCC patients, those with positive lymph nodes had markedly inferior 5-year survival compared with those with lymph-node negative disease and 5-year survival similar to those with stage 4 RCC.
Enzalutamide Increases Overall Survival in nmCRPC
In the PROSPER study, median overall survival was significantly longer among enzalutamide-treated patients compared with placebo recipients (67.0 vs 56.3 months).
Prioritizing Urologic Cancer Cases During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Investigators performed a literature review to better understand how delays in treatment might affect clinical outcomes in urologic cancer patients, including the risk of upstaging, recurrence, and mortality.
Pathologic Stage at RNU Predicts Oncologic Outcomes in High-Grade UTUC
A study found no survival differences between high-grade UTUC patients who at the time of radical nephroureterectomy achieved low-grade disease following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and those who had inherently low-stage disease and did not receive chemotherapy.
Lymph Node Dissection Offers No Survival Advantage in T2-T3 RCC
In a study of T2 to T3 RCC patients, lymph node dissection did not significantly improve overall survival.
Study: Active Surveillance May Be a Safe Alternative to RP in Favorable-Risk PCa
Researchers estimated a low excess risk of prostate cancer death for favorable-risk patients undergoing active surveillance rather than surgery: 1.1% to 8.7% over 15 years.
Modest Survival Gains in Metastatic Prostate Cancer Reported
Two-year prostate cancer survival rates only increased from 60% in 2004 to 63% in 2014.
Prognostic Factors Identified in Patients Undergoing UTUC Surgery
Bladder cuff resection improves survival, according to investigators.
Skeletal-Related Event Risk Not Higher Among Black Men With Bone mCRPC
In a study of men with bone metastases from metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, black men had no significantly greater risk of skeletal-related events than nonblack men.
