Neoadjuvant axitinib facilitated partial nephrectomy in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma and complex masses with an imperative indication for nephron-sparing surgery but no viable pathway to receive the procedure.

The combination of darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel presents adverse effects that are similar to those experienced with ADT plus docetaxel alone in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

Complementary approaches to quantifying overdiagnosis generated a more beneficial harm-benefit tradeoff of prostate-specific antigen screening, compared with previous estimates that used shorter follow-up from the introduction of screening.

Cisplatin-ineligible patients with locally advanced muscle invasive bladder cancer undergoing chemotherapy may benefit from simultaneous treatment with intravenous vitamin C.

Philippe E. Spiess, MD, MS, FACS, shares key updates in the management of patients with penile cancer.

Matthew Galsky, MD, discusses long-term data from the phase 3 CheckMate 274 trial evaluating adjuvant nivolumab vs placebo in patients with high-risk, muscle-invasive urothelial cancer.

Avelumab plus best supportive care produced a benefit in overall survival in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma that had not progressed with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

Darolutamide elicited consistent benefits in overall survival and prostate-specific antigen outcomes, irrespective of prior local therapy with radiotherapy or radical prostatectomy, in patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Results from a detailed safety analysis of the pivotal phase 3 HERO trial showed that relugolix, an oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor antagonist, had an acceptable toxicity profile with favorable tolerability in patients with advanced prostate cancer.

Enzalutamide added to androgen deprivation therapy demonstrated a benefit in overall survival, radiographic progression-free survival, undetectable prostate-specific antigen rates, objective response rates, and other end points vs placebo/ADT in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer regardless of whether or not they received prior local therapy.

Darolutamide was found to have a favorable safety and tolerability profile in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who were enrolled to the phase 1 ARAFOR study and received extended treatment with the agent for more than 4 years.

Mark C. Markowski, MD, PhD, discusses the safety and efficacy of sabizabulin in a phase 1b/2 trial in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Pramit Khetrapal, MD, discusses the results of evaluating intracorporeal robotic vs open cystectomy in a multicenter, randomized trial in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

The addition of niraparib to abiraterone acetate and prednisone achieved for promising response rates in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and homologous recombination repair gene alterations who had progressed on prior treatment with an androgen receptor–targeted therapy.

According to longer follow-up data from the phase 3 CheckMate 274 trial, patients with high-risk, muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma continued to experience clinically meaningful improvements in disease-free survival when treated with adjuvant nivolumab vs placebo.

PET/CT scans conducted with 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 frequently resulted in post-scan disease upstaging compared with baseline conventional imaging in patients with prostate cancer recurrence.

Mark T. Fleming, MD, discusses the rationale and results from the phase 3 SPOTLIGHT trial in prostate cancer.

The addition of the IL15RaFc superagonist N-803 to Bacillus Calmette–Guérin led to prolonged complete responses and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with BCG-unresponsive non–muscle invasive bladder cancer with carcinoma in situ and papillary histology, respectively.

Patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma who received pembrolizumab achieved prolonged median progression-free and overall survival after experiencing an immune-related adverse effect.

Entrectinib produced deep and durable responses in patients with breast cancer harboring NTRK fusions.

The addition of abemaciclib to endocrine therapy improved invasive disease-free survival and distant relapse-free survival vs endocrine therapy alone in patients with high-risk, hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative, early-stage breast cancer, irrespective of menopausal status.

The addition of nivolumab to trastuzumab deruxtecan did not result in a marked clinical benefit in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.

HER2 expression appeared to be a significant predictor for response to fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki, according to findings from a biomarker analysis of patients with metastatic breast cancer in the phase 2 DAISY trial.

Niraparib was found to maintain or improve health-related quality of life in patients with advanced or metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, according to data from the final analysis of the phase 2 GALAHAD trial.

The addition of adjuvant abemaciclib to endocrine therapy resulted in a clinically meaningful reduction in the risk of developing invasive disease, particularly incurable distant metastatic disease, in patients with high-risk, hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative, early breast cancer who comprised cohort 1 of the phase 3 monarchE trial.

The addition of pembrolizumab to chemotherapy led to significant survival benefits without substantial deterioration in health-related quality of life among patients with treatment-naïve, PD-L1–positive advanced triple-negative breast cancer according to results from the phase 3 KEYNOTE-355 trial.

Nearly all patients with HER2-positive breast cancer with brain metastases who received fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki elicited benefit, according to data from a primary outcome analysis of the phase 2 TUXEDO-1 trial.

The combination of alpelisib plus endocrine therapy elicited a clinical benefit across all subgroups of patients with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with PIK3CA mutations.

Overall health status and quality of life were maintained among patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who were treated with fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki compared with those who received ado-trastuzumab emtansine.

Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy maintained clinical benefit in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer regardless of HER2 expression according to a post hoc analysis of the phase 3 ASCENT trial.
