Apalutamide Prolongs Survival in mCSPC Regardless of Disease Volume
A final analysis of the TITAN trial shows that apalutamide vs placebo added to ADT significantly lowers the risk of death and castration-resistant disease in men with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.
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.
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.
Photodynamic Diagnosis Ups Detection of BCG-Refractory Bladder Tumors
Photodynamic diagnosis cystoscopy demonstrates greater sensitivity in the detection of BCG-refractor bladder tumors compared with standard white light cystoscopy.
Survival Odds Similar After Open, Robotic-Assisted Radical Cystectomy
Researchers in The Netherlands compared the surgical approaches in patients with muscle-invasive or high-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Renal Mass Size Could Help Assess Need for Chest Imaging
Synchronous lung metastasis occurs in less than 1% of patients with renal masses less than 4 cm in diameter, so chest imaging in these cases may be unwarranted, according to investigators.
mpMRI Misses Few Significant Prostate Cancers in Re-Biopsied Men
Study findings lend support to using mpMRI for prostate cancer detection.
Obesity Linked to Lower Death Risk in mCRPC
Obesity in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer is associated with decreased risks for all-cause and cancer-specific mortality compared with overweight and normal-weight men.
Women Have Worse Oncologic Outcomes in High-Risk NMIBC
Among patients with high-risk pTa bladder cancer, female sex was significantly associated with a higher risk for stage progression compared with male sex.
