"We think that radiation therapy is one of the best treatment options available for kidney cancer," says Nicholas Zaorsky, MD, MS.

Zaorsky discusses his team's ASTRO 2024 abstract showing clear benefit of radiotherapy and ablation in reduced kidney effects in patients with RCC.

“Pembrolizumab maintenance therapy after SABR boost to bladder tumor and concurrent radio-chemotherapy was well tolerated with promising efficacy in the early analysis," said Shang-bin Qin, MD.

“At a median follow-up of 37 months, we saw that failure-free survival was statistically significant, with 2 times more events seen in the control arm," said Colin Belliveau, MD.

The phase 3 ENLIGHTED trial has reached the 50% patient enrollment threshold.

Van As makes the case for clinical evidence supporting the priority of SBRT, describing its convenience and cost-effectiveness without compromising outcomes.

Blanchard provides an update on the SABRE trial, assessing an iodinated hydrogel space used for SBRT treatment in patients with prostate cancer.

Dandapani highlights her team's promising findings around combination Ra-223, SBRT and ADT therapy for metastatic castrate sensitive prostate cancer.

Findings from GETUG 14 show short-term ADT with high-dose radiotherapy provided 5-year improved efficacy without increased risk of toxicity.

A late-breaking abstract at ASTRO 2024 shows local therapy history does not significantly affect the risk of death in patients with mCRPC receiving an ARPI.

New CEASAR findings at ASTRO 2024 show how 3 treatment modalities differ in prostate cancer patient functioning—as well as how patients perceive the issues.

Ga-68 PSMA-11 radiotracer may be a feasible option for SCINTIX radiation therapy in patients whose prostate cancer has spread to the bones.

Follow-up phase 3 analyses support a hypofractionated radiation therapy regimen to conventional dosing in patients with prostate cancer.

"When determining which code you should use, you must consider your Medicare carrier’s published rules and commercial payer processing policies," write Jonathan Rubenstein, MD, and Mark Painter.

"This exciting and innovative technology has a wide range of possible applications, including tissue engineering, drug development, and precision medicine," write Kate Gessner, MD, PhD, and Philip Abbosh, MD, PhD.

"The landscape of prostate cancer management has evolved significantly over the past 30 years, with [active surveillance], advances in imaging and genetics, and improvements in the treatment of high-risk disease marking key areas of progress," writes Michael S. Cookson, MD, MMHC.

“Patients in the darolutamide arm did not reach first [radiological progression-free survival] median, but at 24 months, 70[.3]% had not progressed vs 52[.1]% in the placebo/ADT arm,” said Fred Saad, CQ, MD, FRCS, FCAHS.

“Our findings give patients and doctors valuable insights into what to expect after ADT treatment, helping them make informed decisions about managing side effects and improving long-term outcomes," says Amar U. Kishan, MD.

"The encouraging results suggest that alternating pazopanib with bevacizumab is a promising treatment regimen for renal cell carcinoma patients in the favorable risk group," says Saby George, MD, FACP.

With this integration, imaging data from the DeepHealth software can be readily imported to the Trinity 3D Ultrasound Platform for prostate fusion biopsy.

The recommended phase 2 dose was determined to be rogaratinib at 600 mg in combination with atezolizumab at 1200 mg.

"RPLND is an attractive option for those who prefer to avoid chemotherapy," write Jiping Zeng, MD; Timothy A. Masterson, MD; and Clint Cary, MD, MPH, MBA.

Enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab was previously granted a priority review designation from the MHLW.

According to the authors, these findings from the VOLGA trial suggest that ctDNA may be a potential biomarker to predict therapeutic benefit in patients with MIBC.

In this episode, Robert E. Brannigan, MD, and Juan J. Andino, MD, MBA, discuss the recent amendment to the AUA/ASRM guideline on male infertility.

"Interestingly, the findings from this study have already translated into an investigator-initiated clinical trial," says John P. Sfakianos, MD.

“Our findings suggest that high PSMA tumors may respond better to AR-targeting therapies. Tumors with low PSMA possess markers of cancer stem cells and are associated with resistance to radiotherapy," the authors write.
