How Cancer-specific Mortality Changes over Time after Radical Cystectomy: Conditional Survival of Patients with Nonmetastatic Urothelial Carcinoma of the Urinary Bladder – Beyond the Abstract

Conditional survival represents the adjustment in the probability of survival that is defined according to the duration of event-free follow-up. Since it dynamically accounts for changes in the risk of death over time, conditional survival may be more specific than unadjusted survival, especially in patients with event-free follow-up of several years. In this study, we […]

ESMO 2019: Overall Survival Interim Analysis Results of the Phase 3 SPARTAN Trial

Barcelona, Spain (UroToday.com) The randomized, phase 3 SPARTAN trial showed that apalutamide offered a metastasis-free survival (MFS) benefit over placebo for patients with non-metastatic (M0) castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with higher risk characteristics defined as PSA doubling time < or = 10 months prior to entry on the trial.1  This led to regulatory approval for apalutamide […]

Barcelona, Spain (UroToday.com) Dr. Christian Kollmannsberger from the British Columbia Cancer Agency discussed three abstracts at the ESMO 2019 poster discussion: 913PD – APACHE: an open label, randomized, phase 2 study of Durvalumab, alone or in combination with Tremelimumab, in patients with refractory germ cell tumors: results from the expanded combination therapy cohort, 914PD – Prognostic […]

ESMO 2019: Prognostic Factors in Metastatic Seminomatous Germ Cell Tumors and Elevated HCG – a Study of the G3

Barcelona, Spain (UroToday.com) Seminomas do not express specific tumor markers, but in ∼20% of patients, serum HCG levels are elevated. The prognostic role of different marker levels at first diagnosis has not been thoroughly assessed. The objective of the current study was to assess prognostic factors in HCG positive seminoma patients. A presentation from Dr. […]
