Hemodialysis was found to be a poor prognostic factor for patients with RCC.
Survival Remains Poor in High-Risk Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma
Overall and disease-free survival among patients undergoing surgical resection for MIUC is low despite increasing use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Acalabrutinib Plus Pembrolizumab Failed to Improve Outcomes in Relapsed mUC
The purpose of this trial was to determine if suppression of MDSCs with acalabrutinib could enhance pembrolizumab activity safely in this population.
The Twitter Effect on How Oncologists Conduct and Share Research
The social media platform can be useful as an education tool for oncologists to stay up to date on new research in oncology — but physicians still need to be mindful of the information sources.
Growth Rates of Small RCC Tumors Vary by Histologic Subtype
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma tumors grow at a faster rate than papillary type 1 tumors, according to a new study.
