Enzalutamide Shown to Slow Progression of Localized Prostate Cancer
A phase 2 exploratory study of men with low- and intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer demonstrated the oncologic benefit of enzalutamide treatment vs active surveillance.
RCC Subtype Affects Post-Nephrectomy Survival Rates
Five-year survival rates following nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma are higher among patients with favorable vs unfavorable histology.
Telemedicine Appears Effective for Managing Overactive Bladder
A small randomized trial finds no worse satisfaction with telemedicine vs in-person visits among patients with OAB.
Plant-Based Diets Tied to Lower Risk for Aggressive Prostate Cancer
Greater consumption of healthful plant-based foods is associated with significantly reduced risks for advanced, lethal, and fatal prostate cancer, especially among men younger than 65 years.
CKD Associated With Worse Radical Cystectomy Outcomes
Investigators report increased risks for adverse pathology and 90-day readmission.
PTNS Compliance Is Low Among Patients With OAB
In a single-center study, the median duration of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation therapy was 147 days.
Partial, Radical Cystectomy for MIBC Yield Similar Survival Outcomes
In addition to similar rates of overall survival, patients undergoing partial and radical cystectomy had comparable rates of upstaging to pT3-4 disease.
Older Adults May Benefit From NAC Prior to UTUC Radical Surgery
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to radical nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma may improve pathologic outcomes regardless of age, new data suggest.
BCG for Bladder Cancer May Lower Alzheimer Disease Risk
The risk for alzheimer disease decreased with increased dosing of BCG.
Gender and Race Disparities Found in Kidney Stone Disease
A male-to-female gap decreased significantly over time among White and non-Hispanic stone formers, but not among Black stone formers.
Primary Chemoablation for Low-Grade Intermediate-Risk NMIBC Promising
A mitomycin-containing reverse thermal gel could provide an alternative to repetitive surgeries for low-grade intermediate-risk NMIBC, according to investigators.
Lower Post-Nephrectomy Kidney Function May Up ESKD Risk
New study findings “are critically important in patient counseling and surgical planning, particularly for patients with risk factors for renal deterioration,” according to investigators.
Epigenetic Test May Rule Out High-Grade UTUC
If validated, the EpiCheck® assay may identify more patients who can safely delay or avoid nephroureterectomy.
Metabolic Syndrome Post-Prostatectomy Ups Prostate Cancer Death Risk
The risks for metastasis, biochemical recurrence, and overall mortality are unaffected, according to investigators.
