“We found that treatment-related out-of-pocket costs were 18 times higher for those patients treated with novel hormonal therapies compared to those who were just on standard ADT,” says Daniel D. Joyce, MD.

“I think what becomes important with this is how we need to do our part in terms of not only engaging our non-urology colleagues to help in educating them about these most common problems in urologic conditions, but also really become [advocates] at the medical school level,” says Jessica Kreshover, MD.

"I think that for patients that have high-risk features after cystectomy, they absolutely should be on nivolumab. I don't think that's a controversial statement anymore," says Benjamin J. Davies, MD.

“We recognize that we now have tools we didn't previously have that allow us to make some major changes,” says David Joseph, MD.
