Peer Exchange

4 experts are featured in this series.

In this Peer Exchange, expert faculty will focus on the evolving management of high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). We’ll begin by reviewing the current treatment landscape and key unmet needs within NMIBC. Then, we will examine newly reported clinical trial data and emerging therapies before exploring best practices for integrating these advances into everyday clinical management.

Expert faculty will examine the evolving treatment landscape of metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC), shaped by the introduction of multiple androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs). While randomized clinical trials have demonstrated their efficacy, emerging real-world evidence (RWE) provides additional perspective on how these therapies perform across diverse patient populations. The discussion will focus on recent comparative analyses of overall survival with ARPI’s exploring the clinical implications of RWE, and how these insights may inform personalized treatment decisions in daily practice.

Experts take a deep dive into the latest advancement, exploring groundbreaking clinical trial data, real-world evidence of newly approved therapies, and ongoing research shaping the future of NMIBC, as well as addressing the practical challenges of bringing these innovations into practice.

Experts discuss challenges with the current standard of care in non–-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC); review data and emerging treatment options for high-risk, non–-bacille Calmette-Guérin responsive NMIBC, including drug delivery systems;, and share practical considerations for the adoption of new and emerging treatment options in NMIBC.

A panel of 3 experts on overactive bladder

Michael J. Kennelly, MD, FPMRS, FACS, joined by Kevin D. Benson, MD, MS and Karyn S. Eilber, MD, leads a comprehensive Urology Times® Viewpoints discussion on patient-centric management of overactive bladder (OAB). They cover an overview of OAB, standard care treatments, device and procedural advancements, and practical considerations for patient-centric care. The session delves into diagnostic assessments, symptom presentations, impact on quality of life, guideline recommendations for treatment, and the clinical benefits and limitations of standard pharmacological treatments. The experts also discuss the role of device-based therapies like sacral neuromodulation and intravesical botulinum toxin type A, focusing on patient eligibility, clinical experiences, and managing post-procedure care. They share insights on adapting procedures to enhance patient comfort, managing expectations, and the importance of follow-up care, providing valuable advice for enhancing patient experiences in OAB management.

A panel of 5 experts on bladder cancer

This Urology Times® Viewpoints video series provides a detailed exploration of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), led by Dr. Sam Chang of Vanderbilt University and featuring expert panelists Dr. Gary Steinberg, Dr. Sandip Prasad, Dr. Mark Tyson, and Dr. Roger Lee filmed at Society for Urological Oncology (SUO) 2023. The series delves into the nuances of staging and grading NMIBC, emphasizing the differences between low-grade and high-grade tumors and their implications for treatment strategies. The discussion spans a range of topics including the management of high-risk and intermediate-risk NMIBC, the challenges in treating the BCG unresponsive population, and the examination of new therapeutic advances and clinical trials, such as N803, TAR 200, and Cretostimogene Grenadenorepvec, underscoring the importance of personalized care in NMIBC treatment.
