"The biomarker is better at predicting presence of disease than absence, and the reason that that's important is that's how we can think about the biomarker aiding in careful clinical assessment of patients," says Elizabeth R. Plimack, MD, MS, FASCO.

"The TALAPRO-2 results provide much-needed hope to patients who remain in high unmet need for effective treatment options," said Neeraj Agarwal, MD, FASCO.

Tang discusses the limitations in available data, but nonetheless high potential, of SBRT in kidney cancer.

"If the documentation supported the use of modifier –22, it should be appended," write Jonathan Rubenstein, MD, and Mark Painter.

"We found that as soon as we got to the range of biochemical recurrence-defined PSA—0.2 ng/mL and up—the detection rate was very high," says Bridget Koontz, MD, FASTRO.

“While there are other treatment options available for treating BPH, there remains a significant need for much less invasive treatment approaches that can preserve and protect the integrity of the urethra and other critical structures," says Ryan Rhodes.

"Overall, TAR-200 is being tested with the aim of changing the therapeutic paradigm of patients with an early bladder cancer diagnosis, including non–muscle-invasive disease and muscle-invasive disease," says Andrea Necchi, MD.

"We remain on track for the opening of phase 2 in the next few months. We also expect to see the full phase 1 results presented at a scientific meeting in 2025," says David E. Gauden, DPhil.

Data from the phase 3 BART trial shows adjuvant radiotherapy is notably safe for patients with MIBC following radical cystectomy and chemotherapy.

The WATER IV PCa will assess Aquablation vs radical prostatectomy in patients with grade group 1 to 3 localized prostate cancer.

"Aquablation is versatile. It can manage a very wide range of prostate sizes and shapes," says Stephen Overholser, MD.

Illuccix is now indicated for use in the selection of patients with mCRPC for PSMA-targeted radionuclide therapy.

"Remember that whether or not it's your first time down the aisle, marriage is a celebration. Don't let all the financial and administrative details that go along with your special day spoil it," writes Jeff Witz, CFP.

"I think it's a really nice synergy between the 2 technologies," says Wayne G. Brisbane, MD.

"The radiologist more than ever has to be part of the care team," says Phillip H. Kuo, MD, PhD, FACR.

“We are pleased that a first patient has been imaged in the CA-NINE trial, which supports potential label expansion for TLX250-CDx into recurrent, metastatic disease,” says David N. Cade.

"The addition of radium-223 to SABR metastasis-directed therapy in low-volume bone-metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer does not delay progression of disease in the RAVENS study," said Ana Kiess, MD, PhD.

The overall report rate per unit sold of the PEG hydrogel spacers was 0.40%.

In total, the phase 3 UTOPIA trial plans to enroll 87 patients with LG-IR-NMIBC to assess the safety and efficacy of UGN-103.

“The toxicity benefits of aggressive margin reduction persist beyond the acute phase post-SBRT," the authors wrote.

Pastuszak discusses the evolving nature of understanding how testosterone therapy post-radiation for prostate cancer may beneficial or harmful to patients, and how to navigate the decision.

Overall, a total of 693 patients received a PEG spacer in 2017 and 2510 received one in 2022, an increase of 262%.

Soumyajit Roy, MS, MBBS, explains how findings showing 5-year biochemical recurrence status may predict prostate cancer cure should alter the clinician-patient interaction.

At the 24-month time point, patients who received apalutamide had a 23% reduction in the risk of death compared with patients who initiated enzalutamide.

The 3-year biochemical progression-free survival was 61%, and the 3-year radiographic progression-free survival was 67%.

Zaorsky discusses the patient safety misconceptions around radiotherapy for RCC, and considering patient-reported outcomes in future randomized controlled trials.

Findings from RAPTOR suggest 5-year biochemical recurrence may be a good indication of prostate cancer cure status.

The estimated 10-year cumulative incidence of PCSM was 1.2% for those who did not experience biochemical recurrence within 5 years of radiotherapy vs 29.0% among those who did.
