Alicia K. Morgans, MD, MPH, highlights quality of life data from the phase 3 ARANOTE trial.

The findings strongly support a proactive approach to identifying and referring patients with poor urinary function after RP.

Treatment with the Revi System led to durable QOL benefits at 24 months, even among those patients who did not achieve the primary end point.

Panelists discuss how molecular imaging might help with complex renal mass decision-making, potentially identifying aggressive clear cell biology that would warrant radical rather than partial nephrectomy, though anatomical details would still require conventional imaging.

A panelist discusses how patient comorbidities like diabetes and liver disease influence abiraterone formulation selection, noting that some physicians worry about steroid effects on blood glucose and the importance of monitoring liver function.

A panelist discusses how food significantly affects abiraterone absorption, particularly fatty meals, which can increase absorption to dangerous levels, making the microformulation advantageous by eliminating fasting concerns.

Panelists discuss how the new PET technology could identify lymph node involvement not visible on conventional imaging, providing actionable information for surgical planning or indicating the need for systemic therapy rather than surgery alone.

Anne Schuckman, MD, on optimal sequencing strategies, the SWOG 1602 trial, and the emerging role of ctDNA.

Amir S. Patel, MD, discusses interim findings from a randomized controlled trial of onabotulinumtoxinA injection at the time of HoLEP vs standard treatment.

Panelists discuss the promising results of the BOND-3 trial evaluating intravesical cretostimogene for BCG-unresponsive non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), highlighting its high complete response rates, favorable safety profile, and potential to offer an effective, bladder-sparing alternative without the toxicity of systemic immunotherapy.

Panelists discuss emerging immunotherapy strategies for BCG-unresponsive non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), particularly the combination of BCG with systemic checkpoint inhibitors, noting promising response rates but significant toxicity concerns that currently limit widespread adoption to select high-risk patients, pending further trial data and safety protocol development.

The investigators found a clear, dose-response relationship between patient-reported incontinence severity and the subsequent use of incontinence interventions such as artificial sphincters or bulking agents.

Margaret A. Knoedler, MD, discusses the advantages of using the MONARCH platform for mini-PCNL.

Khurshid R. Ghani, MBChB, MS, FRCS, discusses how results from the SOUL trial may shape clinical decision-making regarding stent placement.

“Our findings support that that we do not drop the label of cancer from grade group 1 nomenclature," says Jim C. Hu, MD, MPH.

A significant challenge lies in differentiating prostate cancer symptoms from common age-related issues.

Howard B. Goldman, MD, discusses the rationale and development process for the Glean Urodynamics System.

A panelist discusses how adherence considerations are crucial when selecting between different abiraterone formulations, emphasizing that the microformulation offers flexibility by allowing administration with or without food compared with the traditional fasting requirements.

A panelist discusses how a man aged 74 years with mCRPC who progressed on enzalutamide was successfully treated with abiraterone, highlighting the importance of selecting the appropriate formulation based on patient adherence and lifestyle factors.

Jack Andrews, MD; Eugene Cone, MD; and Akshay Sood, MD, discuss how real-world safety and efficacy data for androgen receptor inhibitors (apalutamide, darolutamide, and enzalutamide) in nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) show darolutamide may offer superior tolerability with lower discontinuation rates and fewer drug interactions, while emphasizing the importance of critically evaluating real-world studies by examining methodology rather than just conclusions.

Murilo De Almeida Luz, MD, discusses data on PSA and ALP changes in patients receiving enzalutamide plus radium-223 vs enzalutamide alone.

Enhancing minority enrollment in clinical trials and utilizing real-world data improves drug safety and efficacy for mHSPC treatments.

Panelists discuss how new molecular imaging technology offers potential to better risk stratify patients eligible for adjuvant pembrolizumab after surgery, potentially identifying those who have undetected metastatic disease requiring more aggressive treatment.

Panelists discuss how the ZIRCON trial results showed impressive test characteristics with 95% positive predictive value for clear cell renal cell carcinoma, meaning a positive test strongly indicates cancer requiring treatment.

Enhancing diversity in mHSPC clinical trials requires community outreach, collaboration, and accessible care for underrepresented populations.

MIST utilization increased from 7% in 2015 to 51% in 2022 among men aged 50 to 54.

A primary concern was establishing trust in the connectivity to ensure no loss in visualization or connection.

"At the end of the day, it's going to be unlikely that we're going to use a single therapy for all of our patients," says Vignesh T. Packiam, MD.

Panelists discuss current FDA-approved treatments for BCG-unresponsive carcinoma in situ, noting varying response rates among pembrolizumab, nadofaragene, and BCG combined with IL-15 superagonist, while highlighting promising investigational combination immunotherapies like oncolytic viruses and checkpoint inhibitors that may improve outcomes in this challenging patient population.

Panelists discuss emerging data comparing bladder-sparing therapies to radical cystectomy in BCG-unresponsive non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), highlighting the nuanced trade-offs in oncologic outcomes and quality of life, and emphasizing the need for shared decision-making as prospective studies like CISTO refine patient selection for personalized treatment strategies.
