Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging plays an important role in multiparametric assessment of prostate lesions. The derived apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) could be a useful quantitative biomarker for malignant growth, but lacks acceptance because of low reproducibility.
Transcriptome-based molecular subtypes of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) have been shown to be both prognostic and predictive, but are not used in routine clinical practice. We aimed to develop a feasible, RT-qPCR-based method for molecular subtyping.
There is a need for sensitive and specific biomarkers for detecting recurrences in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) on surveillance. Xpert bladder cancer (BC) monitor is the latest rapid in vitro qualitative test that detects expression of 5 mRNAs using a GeneXpert instrument.

(UroToday.com) In the Controversy session of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Congress, Dr. Karim Fizazi and Dr. Ronald De Wit debated the question of whether enhanced androgen signaling inhibition should be the treatment of choice for treatment of metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) rather than docetaxel. Presenting first, Dr. Fizazi took the […]

(UroToday.com) The European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2021 annual congress included a controversial session highlighting ‘Are adjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors a standard of care for operable high-risk urothelial and kidney cancer?’ Dr. Michiel van der Heijden discussed that no, adjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors are not standard of care. Dr. van der Heijden started by highlighting […]
(UroToday.com) The European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2021 annual congress included a controversial session highlighting ‘Are adjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors a standard of care for operable high-risk urothelial and kidney cancer?’ Dr. Thomas Powles discussed that yes, adjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors are standard of care. At the moment, there is no approved neoadjuvant or adjuvant […]
