Patients with microsatellite instability–high or mismatch repair–deficient prostate cancer may be more likely to respond to treatment with checkpoint inhibitors compared with those who have high tumor mutational burden.

Overall survival in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who are receiving lutetium 177 may be impacted by Cancer and Leukemia Group B prognostic risk group and the receipt of subsequent FDA-approved life-prolonging therapies.

Despite the several classes of drugs either approved, or in development, for the treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms, a big question remains.

Prospective clinical trial results of lutetium-PSMA suggest the therapy is safe for patients with locally advanced high-risk prostate cancer.

A phase 3 study is underway to evaluate the potential superiority of TAR-200 in combination with cetrelimab to chemoradiotherapy for the treatment of muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Neal Shore, MD, FACS, explains the relationship between the use of darolutamide and control of urinary and bowel adverse events, as observed in an analysis of the phase 3 ARAMIS clinical trial.

Disparities not only are widening among racial groups, but socioeconomic inequities should also be considered and addressed by the wider healthcare community, according to a lymphoma expert.

In the phase 3 HERO trial of relugolix versus standard of care leuprolide in men with advanced prostate cancer, relugolix failed to significantly delay onset of castration resistance.

Patients with BCG-unresponsive, non-muscle invasive bladder cance carcinoma in situ had promising responses to Bacille Calmette-Guérinplus N-803, updated data from cohort A of the phase 2/3 QUILT-3.032 study.

According to secondary analysis results of a phase 3 study, antibody titers and fold changes are possibly predictive of nadofaragene firadenovec efficacy in patients with bacillus Calmette-Guérun unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Real-world evidence shows robust adherence rates and prostate-specific antigen response to apalutamide in patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

High adherence rates and favorable prostate-specific antigen response to apalutamide where seen in Patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Early data have shown the promise of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T cells for indolent lymphoma treatment, but longer follow-up is needed to determine if these responses represent cures in these historically difficult-to-treat malignancies.

CARTITUDE-1 update shows continued deep and durable response with iltacabtagene autoleucel in patients with heavily pretreated multiple myeloma.
