*THERAPEUTIC use of monoclonal antibodies, *RISK assessment, *PLACEBOS, *DEATH, *CANCER relapse, *DRUG side effects, *PATIENT safety, *CLINICAL trials, *TERMINATION of treatment, *NEPHRECTOMY, *RENAL cell carcinoma, *DISEASE relapse, *PROGRESSION-free survival, *TUMOR classification, *OVERALL survival, *PATIENT aftercare, *EVALUATION, *DISEASE risk factors
Abstract

The article discusses updated data as of 2024 which shows that adjuvant pembrolizumab (Keytruda) extended overall survival (OS) in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) at medium or high risk of recurrence. It states that the therapy improved disease-free survival (DFS) and lowered distant and local disease recurrence. Also noted are the occurrences of immune-mediated adverse events (AE) and infusion reactions among patients.

Abstract

The article highlights advancements in the treatment of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). These include nadofaragene firadenovec intravesical gene therapy, pembrolizumab systemic therapy, TAR-200 drug intravesical delivery system using gemcitabine and gemcitabine plus a PD-L1 inhibitor, combination chemotherapy with gemcitabine and docetaxel, and QUILT-3.032 study on the synergy between immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapies.

Abstract

The article focuses on the results of the phase three ARASENS trial on the effectiveness of darolutamide as a treatment in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, which were presented at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting held in Chicago, Illinois. Topics discussed include the improvementin the overall survival and delay time to progression to metastatic castration-resistant disease, and the definition of postprogression survival.

*THERAPEUTIC use of antineoplastic agents, *PROSTATE tumors, *EVALUATION of medical care, *CANCER patients, *METASTASIS, *HORMONE therapy, *OVERALL survival, *TIME, *COMORBIDITY
Abstract

The article focuses on a study which shows an improvement in the overall survival (OS) among patients with de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer in clinical practice in the U.S. from 2000 to 2019, which references a research paper by Martin Schoen et al., published in an issue of the "JAMA Network Open." Topics discussed include the median OS in patients younger than 70 years, and the significant role of combination therapy in this improvement.

Abstract

The article focuses on a news release from AstraZeneca on the results of the phase three NIAGARA trial, which shows the effectiveness of the combination of durvalumab and chemotherapy in improving event-free survival and overall survival in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Topics discussed include the safety of durvalumab in the trial, and the selection of the participants.

6. Blue light cystoscopy decreases risk of recurrence, progression in NMIBC.

Author

CLARKE, HANNAH

Subjects
*NON-muscle invasive bladder cancer, *CYSTOSCOPY, *EARLY detection of cancer, *DISEASE relapse, *PROGRESSION-free survival, *DISEASE progression, *OVERALL survival
Abstract

The article discusses 2024 data which showed that blue light cystoscopy (BLC) is linked to improved outcomes in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) compared to white light cystoscopy (WLC). Topics covered include the comparatively lower recurrence risk and progression risk for patients following BLC, and the latter's improved overall survival. Also noted is improved tumor visualization's help in determining intravesical therapy use, such as Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG).
