R. Jonathan Henderson, MD, discusses incorporating immunotherapy agents into practice in patients with bladder cancer.

Daniel Spratt, MD, discusses the expanded role of radiation therapy for the treatment of patients with prostate cancer, delves into the optimal approach for using radiation in tandem with hormonal therapy for these patients, and highlights ongoing research focused on minimizing adverse effects associated with radiotherapy.

Adjuvant treatment with pembrolizumab significantly improved overall survival vs placebo in patients with renal cell carcinoma at intermediate-high or high risk of recurrence after nephrectomy, or after nephrectomy and resection of metastatic lesions, meeting a key secondary end point of the phase 3 KEYNOTE-564 trial.

Toni K. Choueiri, MD, discusses findings from the phase 2 LITESPARK-003 study of belzutifan in combination with cabozantinib for patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Vitaly Margulis, MD, expands on the factors to consider when treating patients with advanced RCC and how these could help inform the selection of immunotherapy-based combinations in the frontline setting.

Tian Zhang, MD, MHS, details how updated data presented at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting from trials such as KEYNOTE-426 and CLEAR have showed the sustained efficacy of VEGF plus immunotherapy combinations vs sunitinib in the first-line setting; discusses where the immunotherapy-only combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab fits in the frontline setting; and highlights how data from CONTACT-03 provided key insights on the use of immunotherapy in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma after progression on a prior immune checkpoint inhibitor.

Nephrectomy with immune-targeted therapy was associated with a progression-free survival benefit compared with immunotherapy alone in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab led to tumor shrinkage and duration of response benefits compared with sunitinib across subgroups of interest in patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

OncLive® will be LIVE with OncLive® News Network: On Location at the 2023 ESMO Congress. Each day, we will broadcast a series of interviews with top thought leaders, to learn their thoughts and reactions to data presented across oncology during the conference.

Treatment with belzutifan produced improvements in progression-free survival and objective response rate vs everolimus in patients with pretreated advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Belzultifan in combination with cabozantinib generated durable responses independent of International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium risk category in patients with treatment-naïve clear cell renal cell carcinoma or those who had received prior immunotherapy.

Hans Hammers, MD, PhD, discusses a case presentation of a patient with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Marijo Bilusic, MD, PhD, discusses updates seen in the treatment armamentarium for patients with urothelial carcinoma, as presented at the 2023 Sylvester Annual Oncology Updates Meeting.

The 2023 ESMO Congress, which is taking place in Madrid, Spain, and will continue to be accessible online via a virtual platform, is gearing up to kick off, and the oncology community is ready to learn more about the latest data across malignancies.

Treatment with subcutaneous nivolumab co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase demonstrated noninferior pharmacokinetics vs intravenous nivolumab in patients with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma who received prior systemic therapy.

Sarah Elizabeth Yentz, MD, discusses treatment considerations in patients with favorable-risk renal cell carcinoma.

Although renal cell carcinoma remains a difficult-to-treat disease, with patients with clear cell histology experiencing a median overall survival of approximately 13 months and a 5-year overall survival rate of less than 10%, updated results from clinical trials examining emerging therapeutic strategies have spurred optimism.

Toni K. Choueiri, MD, discusses the benefit of ongoing investigations in metastatic, advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Vitaly Margulis, MD, discusses significant factors and comorbidities that may affect treatment decisions for patients with renal cell carcinoma.

Tiago Biachi, MD, PhD, discusses the growing treatment landscape for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Tian Zhang, MD, MHS, discusses the selection of first-line immunotherapy-based treatments for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Qian (Janie) Qin, MD, discusses the investigation and use of CAR T-cell therapy in patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Vitaly Margulis, MD, discusses key disease characteristics and patient factors to consider when selecting between IO/IO vs IO/TKI treatment combinations for the management of patients with renal cell carcinoma.
