Nivolumab following radical surgery continued to display a benefit in disease-free survival in patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma and muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Treatment with sintilimab in combination with axitinib resulted in tumor shrinkage with tolerable adverse effects in patients with advanced fumarate hydratase–deficient renal cell carcinoma.

Specific comorbidities were linked with complications following partial nephrectomy, compared with radical nephrectomy, in patients with T1b to T2 renal cell carcinoma.

Hypertension was found to be an independent risk factor for worse survival outcomes in patients with upper tract urothelial cancer undergoing radical nephroureterectomy.

A high body mass index was linked with improved overall survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma undergoing radical nephrectomy.

Benjamin H. Lowentritt, MD, FACS, discusses prostate-specific antigen response and time to castration resistance in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer started on apalutamide, enzalutamide, or abiraterone acetate.

Roger Li, MD, discusses phase 2 data with the combination of CG0070 and pembrolizumab in patients with non–muscle invasive bladder cancer unresponsive to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin.

Treatment with the androgen receptor inhibitor enzalutamide plus leuprolide led to a significant reduction in the risk of metastasis or death compared with placebo plus leuprolide in patients with nonmetastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with high-risk biochemical recurrence.

Patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer treated with the androgen receptor–signaling inhibitor apalutamide achieved prostate-specific antigen responses that trended higher and rates of progression to castration resistance that trended lower than those receiving enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate/

A post-hoc analysis of the phase 3 ARASENS trial demonstrated that the addition of darolutamide to androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel produced deep and durable prostate-specific antigen responses in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

A subgroup analysis of the phase 3 ARASENS trial showed that darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy elicited an overall survival benefit in North American patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

Cretostimogene grenadenorepvec in combination with pembrolizumab produced high complete response rates with a tolerable safety profile in patients with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin–unresponsive non–muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Treatment with darolutamide was associated with lower rates of discontinuation and progression to metastatic disease compared with enzalutamide and apalutamide in patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

First-line avelumab maintenance therapy prolonged survival in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma, regardless of response to first-line chemotherapy, according to findings from an exploratory subgroup analysis of the phase 3 JAVELIN Bladder 100 trial.

The use of 68Ga-FAP-2286 PET imaging may improve treatment selection and response assessment in patients with bladder cancer, according to findings from a pilot study evaluating the diagnostic performance of this imaging technology.

Michael Basin, MD, discusses how the pharmacological inhibition of the molecular chaperone Hsp70 overcomes belzutifan resistance in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Andrew Katims, MD, MPH, discusses the utility of a circulating tumor DNA assay (MSK-ACCESS) in patients with node-positive muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

The addition of olaparib to abiraterone acetate resulted in numerically higher prostate-specific antigen response rates and prolonged time to PSA progression vs abiraterone alone when used in the frontline treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Darolutamide given in an extended duration was linked with long-term clinical benefit and safety in patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Reduced doses of apalutamide did not significantly decrease rates of skin-related adverse effects vs full-dose apalutamide in patients with advanced prostate cancer.

Treatment with lutetium 177 PSMA-I&T radioligand therapy led to prostate-specific antigen declines with an acceptable toxicity profile in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

The use of zoledronic acid or other bisphosphonates was associated with a significant reduction in risk of fracture in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

A genome-wide methylome enrichment platform demonstrated efficacy in detecting early-stage, low-shedding cancers with limited circulating tumor DNA.

Jason J. Luke, MD, FACP, discusses initial results from the phase 1 GLIMMER-01 trial of E-602 in advanced solid tumors.

Findings from a phase 1 study showed that the fully humanized IgG4 antibody IO-108 was well tolerated and displayed durable responses when given as a monotherapy as well as in combination with pembrolizumab, supporting further development of the agent alone or with PD-1/PD-L1 targeted therapy for patients with advanced solid tumors.

Ferdinandos Skoulidis, MD, PhD, MRCP, discusses the clinical implications for data from the combination of tremelimumab plus durvalumab and chemotherapy in metastatic non–small cell lung cancer without sensitizing EGFR mutation or ALK aberrations.
