Compared with sorafenib, tivozanib was associated with improved progression-free survival and objective response rate, researchers reported.
About 25% of patients with previously untreated advanced non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma had an objective response to pembrolizumab.
New analysis shows that early tumor shrinkage with cabozantinib is associated with longer survival compared with everolimus.
Avelumab-axitinib regimen offers better progression-free survival and responses than sunitinib for patients with previously untreated advanced RCC, regardless of risk group or PD-L1 status.
Patients with treatment-naive, intermediate- and poor-risk advanced RCC continue to have superior overall survival with the dual ICI regimen compared with sunitinib alone.
As first-line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma, pembrolizumab plus axitinib offers longer overall and progression-free survival compared with sunitinib.
Postoperative radiation therapy with adjuvant chemotherapy prolonged disease-free survival and overall survival in patients with locally advanced urothelial carcinoma.
In a study of patients receiving non-surgical treatment for localized upper tract urothelial carcinoma, radiation or chemotherapy provided no overall survival benefit.
Trimodal therapy for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer is associated with worse cancer-specific and overall survival and higher costs compared with radical cystectomy.
Pembrolizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor, demonstrated antitumor activity in patients with high-risk BCG-unresponsive carcinoma in situ.
New evidence suggests variation in the bacterial composition of urine is associated with response BCG among patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Among men with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, those who were treated with darolutamide had a 59% decreased risk of metastasis compared with placebo recipients.
At a median follow-up of nearly 52 months, the treatment regimen deceased mortality risk among men with high-risk metastatic castration-naive prostate cancer by 30%.
After an additional 1 year of follow-up, apalutamide plus ADT continued to show a significant decrease in the risk of progression to metastasis or death.
The study is the first to show that treatment with abiraterone acetate/enzalutamide is associated with better survival in African American patients with mCRPC compared with Caucasians.
By targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen, a molecule radiolabeled with lutetium-177 is expected to deliver high doses of beta radiation to distant metastases.
The Decipher genomic classifier predicted metastases and prostate cancer-specific mortality following radical prostatectomy with greater precision in African-American men.
