(UroToday.com) Following presentations by Dr. Felix Feng assessing molecular determinants of response to apalutamide in patients with non-metastatic prostate cancer and by Dr. Dana Rathkopf looking at the ACIS trial combining apalutamide and abiraterone acetate in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, Dr. Joshi Alumkal provided a discussion of these data in the Oral […]

(UroToday.com) The treatment of germ cell tumors that relapse after or are refractory to platinum-based chemotherapy can include high dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous stem-cell transplant (ASCT). Multiple cohorts from North America and Europe suggest that 5-year overall survival with HDCT ranges is between 48% and 65%. In this abstract, the authors conducted a retrospective and […]

(UroToday.com) In a prior publication, the authors of this abstract published results confirming plasma expression of the microRNA 371a-3p (miR371) can be utilized as a sensitive and specific marker of active germ cell malignancy in patients. In this abstract, Dr. Lucia Nappi and colleagues present updated follow-up data with miR371 expression data to further define the […]

(UroToday.com) The presence of brain metastases stratifies metastatic germ cell tumors as poor risk and is an independent adverse prognostic factor that can lead to treatment complications and failure. Brain imaging is not necessarily performed for staging imaging unless neurologic symptoms are present. In this abstract, the authors aimed to create a predictive model using certain […]

KEY POINTSQuestion Are bone metastatic burden and site associated with survival benefit from the addition of prostate radiotherapy (RT) to standard-of-care systemic therapy in newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer? Findings This exploratory analysis of 1939 participants in a randomized clinical trial shows that survival benefit following prostate RT gradually diminished with increasing bone metastasis number, with survival […]

For about a year now, the absence of physical meetings has not slowed down the EAU’s ambitions in offering continuing medical education and training the next generation of urologists. As an EAU member you will have noticed that in the absence of physical meetings, a lot of the EAU’s activities have moved online. This includes […]

Testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) are malignancies with a unique biology, pathology, clinical appearance, and excellent outcomes. A correct radiographic assessment of GCTs is extremely important for the clinical management in several typical scenarios.

Small renal masses are commonly diagnosed with modern medical imaging. Renal tumour volume has been explored as a prognostic tool to help decide when intervention is needed and appears to provide additional prognostic information for smaller tumours compared with tumour diameter.

Pancreatic metastases (PM) from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are uncommon. We herein describe the long-term outcomes associated with pancreatectomy at two academic institutions, with a specific focus on 10-year survival.

There is an urgent need to develop novel treatment strategies in patients with unfavorable intermediate- and high-risk localized prostate cancer (PCa) to optimize the outcome of these patients. Androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSI) have demonstrated a survival benefit in metastatic hormonesensitive and castration-resistant PCa.
