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 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.

3. 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).

Abstract

The article discusses results from an analysis of the phase three KEYNOTE-426 trial on the efficacy of a combination treatment with pembrolizumab and axitinib, compared with single agent sunitinib, in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). The study evaluated overall survival, progression-free survival, overall response rate, complete response rate, partial response rare, stable disease rate in patients who received pembrolizumab/axitinib and those administered with sunitinib.
