“The main challenge at the moment is patients are being diagnosed with metastatic disease far earlier than they would have been otherwise, and therefore [are being] considered for combination systemic therapy potentially years earlier than they would have been if we just looked at conventional imaging," says Dr Louise Kostos.

"We need to be aware that patients have options for treatment of high-risk biochemical recurrence, and in order to identify that they have high-risk biochemical recurrence...we need to calculate PSA doubling time,” says Alicia Morgans, MD, MPH.

"I'm so excited about them finally removing this boxed warning," says Helen L. Bernie, DO, MPH.

“For someone that might be looking at getting into sacral neuromodulation, and has had some reluctance in the past, this does simplify the procedure somewhat," says Colin Goudelocke, MD.

"In terms of how I select patients, I really look at the timing of metastatic disease, so whether it's metachronous or synchronous and the volume, and I think at this stage, the data are most robust for the synchronous and high-volume patients," says Dr Louise Kostos.

"I would also like us to be able to reliably use even smaller scopes, but keep them efficient," says Amy E. Krambeck, MD.

"It is important for us to ask patients whether they want to intensify or not, and not make assumptions," says Alicia Morgans, MD, MPH.

"[The lack of] a battery makes it ultra small. That's really important," says Colin Goudelocke, MD.

"It was a really interesting paper to develop and write, because over the past decade, there's been such a paradigm shift in the treatment of prostate cancer," says Dr Louise Kostos.

"[Urologists] really need to understand how big the prostate is and how big of a surgery that they're looking at," says Amy E. Krambeck, MD.

Total detection rate was 36% (13/36) in the ultralow PSA group and 51% (47/93) in the low-PSA group.

Robert J. Motzer, MD, reported that median PFS was 16.4 months in the nivolumab plus cabozantinib arm (95% CI, 12.5-19.3) vs 8.3 months in the sunitinib arm (95% CI, 7.0-9.7) (HR=0.58, 95% CI, 0.49-0.70).

Median PFS was 35 months in the MDT plus SOC group vs 21 months in the SOC alone group.

PSMA staging did not appear to have a significant impact on radiation therapy utilization.

“Among active surveillance patients, 82% are metastases-free, and 60% were metastases-free and had an intact, unradiated bladder,” said Pooja Ghatalia, MD.

“Over 80% of patients…had at least 2 lines of therapy, so this is a heavily refractory population,” said Toni K. Choueiri, MD, FASCO.

"The results [indicate] that neoadjuvant DV combined with toripalimab had promising efficacy and acceptable safety in patients with HER2-expressing MIBC,” said Xinan Sheng, MD.

ORR was 70% (95% CI, 55-82) in cohort 1 compared with 31% (95% CI, 19-45) in cohort 2.

The pCR was 37.3% (95% CI, 33.2-41.6) in the durvalumab arm and 27.5% (95% CI, 23.8-31.6) in the comparator arm.

OS was found to be prolonged with avelumab plus BSC vs BSC alone regardless of diabetes mellitus status.

The investigators reported that there were 24 evaluable patients with CIS with/without papillary disease, of whom 79% had a CR at 3 months.

A total of 37 studies included real-world OS as an outcome; in these studies, median real-world OS ranged from 9 months to 23.5 months.

"Efficacy outcomes with darolutamide plus ADT were improved vs placebo plus ADT regardless of disease volume," said Fred Saad, MD, FRCS.

The median number of re-injections was 6 (range, 1-12).

"Patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer benefited from treatment with darolutamide plus ADT and docetaxel regardless of age," said Joan Carles, MD, PhD.

In both racial cohorts, median MFS was not reached in the darolutamide group.

“Looking at our overall results, not surprisingly, we can show a clear benefit of ARPIs on overall survival," says David Fisher, MSc, MA.

The investigators reported an HR for OS of 0.796 (95% CI, 0.661-0.958; 2-sided P = .0155) for talazoparib/enzalutamide vs enzalutamide/placebo.

The treatment combination was associated with median radiographic progression-free survival of 14.3 months vs 6.2 months with enzalutamide alone.
