Genitourinary Cancers

Primo Nery “Lucky” Lara Jr, MD, has built a genitourinary oncology career inspired by optimism, rooted in perseverance, expanded by innovative thinking, and strengthened by a belief in the power of team science.

Neoadjuvant SABR before nephrectomy improved 12-month RFS vs surgery alone in patients with RCC with IVC tumor thrombus, with manageable safety.

Ciforadenant in combination with ipilimumab and nivolumab was safe and feasible but did not enhance activity in frontline ccRCC.

Pembrolizumab in the adjuvant setting yielded high DFS and OS results in addition to a manageable safety profile in real-world patients with ccRCC.

Belzutifan maintained efficacy benefits vs everolimus among patients with ccRCC after at least 2 prior VEGFR TKIs.

At 48 months, the majority of patients with VHL disease–associated tumors remained in response following treatment with belzutifan.

Adjuvant pembrolizumab delivers sustained clinical benefits across ccRCC subgroups with no new long-term safety signals.

Data from a comparative cohort study suggest that venous congestion is a modifiable driver of renal dysfunction in patients with RCC and IVC thrombosis.

Drs Levy and Tagawa discuss the rapidly evolving treatment paradigms for prostate cancer and RCC live at the 43rd Annual Chemotherapy Foundation Symposium.

A study combined single-cell RNA sequencing data from patients with RCC to learn about patterns of interferon signaling across cell types in tumors.

Treatment with adjuvant durvalumab plus tremelimumab resulted in a DFS benefit vs active monitoring in RCC, particularly in the higher-risk population.

Belzutifan-based combinations meet end points in RCC, imaging agent under review for SSTR-positive neuroendocrine tumors, and more.

Randy F. Sweis, MD, explains future avenues for the investigation for XmAb819 in tumor types beyond renal cell carcinoma.

Experts highlight how precision medicine, biomarkers, and targeted combinations presented at ESMO 2025 are shaping the future of GU cancer treatment.

Two belzutifan-based combinations met their respective primary efficacy end points of DFS and PFS in the phase 3 LITESPARK-022 and LITESPARK-011 trials.

Randy F. Sweis, MD, discusses shares how XmAb819 may address the need for effective therapies after progression on standard regimens in RCC.

Brian I. Rini, MD, FASCO, and Katy Beckermann, MD, PhD, sit down with Chandler Park, MD, FACP, to discuss the latest abstracts in renal cell carcinoma presented during the 2025 ESMO Congress.

Lenvatinib plus everolimus improved PFS vs cabozantinib in metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma after progression on a PD-1 inhibitor.

Belzutifan plus pembrolizumab and lenvatinib improved efficacy outcomes compared with multiple other pembrolizumab-based triplet regimens in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

RNAseq-defined clusters guided treatment selection in metastatic ccRCC in the phase 2 OPTIC trial, yielding a 76% ORR with cabozantinib plus nivolumab.

Fruquintinib plus sintilimab significantly extended progression-free survival in advanced RCC following first-line VEGFR TKI therapy.
