Michael S. Leapman, MD, MHS, highlights the need for clearer information regarding genomic testing for patients with prostate cancer.

Lindsay Diamond, MSN, AGNP-C, AOCNP, unpacks the significance of recent advances in the bladder cancer space.

Nivolumab/Cabozantinib continued to outperform sunitinib in an updated analysis of the phase 3 CheckMate 9ER trial.

Atezolizumab did not yield a significant improvement in overall survival compared with placebo plus platinum-based chemotherapy and gemcitabine in patients with untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer.

Patients with papillary high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer whose disease was BCG-unresponsive showed continued antitumor activity with pembrolizumab monotherapy.

Extended follow-up of the CheckMate 274 trial showed continued efficacy with nivolumab in patients with muscle-invasive urothelial cancer who had undergone radical resection.

Real-world data support front-line maintenance with avelumab for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma following platinum-based chemotherapy.

The median overall survival was 42.1 months with abiraterone plus olaparib and 34.7 months with abiraterone plus placebo in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Approximately 30% of patients remained on treatment with darolutamide for over 4 years, according to a long-term safety and tolerability updated from the ARAMIS rollover study.

At a median follow-up of 24.9 months, imaging-based progression-free survival was not reached among patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who had received talazoparib plus enzalutamide.

Preliminary findings suggest that enfortumab vedotin may be an effective treatment option for cisplatin-ineligible patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Adjuvant mitotane did not yield a significantly reduced risk of recurrence among patients with adrenocortical carcinoma.

The immunotherapy combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab elicited favorable health-related quality of life responses compared with sunitinib in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Cabozantinib is determined to be a safe treatment option for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma whose disease failed to respond to prior immunotherapy combinations.

Patients with 4-1BB or LAG-3–expressing T cells at baseline, or a high proportion of PD-L1–expressing myeloid cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells during boost cycles, may be more likely to benefit from the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab.

Adding sacituzumab govitecan to second-line pembrolizumab garnered promising antitumor activity among patients with checkpoint inhibitor–naïve metastatic urothelial cancer.

Nivolumab plus cabozantinib outperformed sunitinib in maintaining health-related quality of life in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.
