Photodynamic diagnosis cystoscopy demonstrates greater sensitivity in the detection of BCG-refractor bladder tumors compared with standard white light cystoscopy.
Study: Risk Score Should Guide Deferral of Cytoreductive Nephrectomy
Ideal patient selection for a deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy should include an assessment of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center risk score, according to investigators.
PSMA-PET/CT May Detect Prostate Cancer More Accurately Than mpMRI
Early results support a fully-powered trial of 18F-PSMA PET/CT for prostate cancer detection, according to the investigators.
Photodynamic Diagnosis May Reduce NMIBC Recurrence Rates
Before PDD TURBT can be adopted into clinical practice, a large pragmatic trial is needed, according to investigators.
Younger Patients Less Likely to Die From NMIBC
The investigators found no significant age-related differences in survival from muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
mpMRI Misses Few Significant Prostate Cancers in Re-Biopsied Men
Study findings lend support to using mpMRI for prostate cancer detection.
Active Surveillance for Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer Linked With Lower Survival
Survival curves separated as early as 4 to 5 years after initiation of active surveillance or active treatment, investigators reported.
Intense Neoadjuvant ADT May Not Improve Post-RP Outcomes in High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy prior to prostate cancer surgery is feasible, investigators noted.
