– Efficacy benefits with recently approved combination regimen observed regardless of baseline International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium risk status, organ site of metastases or extent of tumor burden– Data to be presented during the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology’s Annual Meeting –

Multiple large clinical trials have investigated adjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and progression to metastasis in high-risk renal cell carcinoma. We sought to maintain living and interactive evidence on this topic, until a high level of certainty is reached for key clinical outcomes such that further updates become […]

We investigated the response rate and degree of toxicity of a second course of three cycles of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA radioligand therapy (PSMA-RLT) every 4 weeks in mCRPC patients. Forty-three men (71.

Two previous "Patterns Of Practice" surveys (POP I and POP II), including more than 4000 patients affected by prostate cancer treated with radical external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) between 1980 and 2003, established a "benchmark" Italian data source for prostate cancer radiotherapy.

Salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy (sHDRBT) for locally recurrent prostate cancer after definitive radiation is associated with biochemical control in approximately half of patients at 3-5 years. Given potential toxicity, patient selection is critical.

To evaluate outcomes for men with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer who were selected for transponder-guided salvage radiotherapy (SRT) to the prostate bed alone by 68Ga-labelled prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (68Ga-PSMA-PET).

Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) correlate with adverse prognosis in breast, colorectal, lung and prostate cancer patients. Little data is available for Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). We designed a multicenter prospective observational study to assess the correlation between CTC counts and Progression Free Survival (PFS) in metastatic RCC patients treated with an anti-angiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitor […]

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have an established role in the treatment of newly diagnosed metastatic kidney cancer. Treatment regimens combining nivolumab plus ipilimumab, pembrolizumab plus axitinib, nivolumab plus cabozantinib, and pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib have demonstrated superior overall survival compared with sunitinib in randomized studies.

Pairs of related bladder cancer cases who belong to pedigrees with an excess of bladder cancer were sequenced to identify rare, shared variants as candidate predisposition variants. Candidate variants were tested for association with bladder cancer risk.

Penile cancer is a rare malignancy, with a reported incidence of 1.5/100,000 males in the Republic of Ireland in 2015. The aim of this study was to perform the first national review and to evaluate clinicopathological factors affecting survival.
