Jensen, Susanne V. Lauridsen, Elizabeth Wulff-Burchfield, Sarah P. Psutka
Background and objectiveTreatment burden refers to the overall impact of medical treatments on a patient’s well-being and daily life. Our objective is to evaluate the impact of treatment burden on quality of life (QoL) in patients with genitourinary (GU) malignancies, highlighting the importance of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in clinical trials to inform treatment decisions and improve patient

High-risk, potentially lethal prostate cancer (PCa) requires systemic androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), with doublet therapy offering superior anticancer effects in comparison to monotherapy, and triplet therapy being more effective than doublet. However, nothing comes without a cost. In the review of such combination therapies by Aziz et al [1] in this issue of European Urology, the authors endeavour

Zarrabi, Axel Bex, Petros Grivas, Ken Hermann, Michael S. Hofman, Roger Li, Antonio Lopez-Beltran, Anwar R. Padani, Thomas Powles, Mary-Ellen Taplin, Yohann Loriot
Background and objectiveAdvances in molecular diagnostics have ushered in a new era for patients with prostate, renal, and urothelial cancers, with novel radiographic and molecular modalities for the assessment of disease burden and minimal residual disease (MRD). Conventional imaging has a limited threshold for disease detection and is often unable to discern clinically occult disease with varying

Molecular classification of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) can provide insight into divergent clinical outcomes and provide a biological rationale for clinical decision-making. As such, we performed multi-omic analysis of UTUC tumors to identify molecular features associated with disease recurrence and response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB).

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Versus Computed Tomography Guidance for Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in Prostate Cancer: 2-year Outcomes from the MIRAGE Randomized Clinical Trial Eur. Urol.

Low, Yingli Yang, John Neylon, Vincent Basehart, Ting Martin Ma, Luca F. Valle, Minsong Cao, Michael L. Steinberg
It has been shown that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance versus computed tomography (CT) guidance for aggressive margin-reduction (AMR) for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in prostate cancer reduces acute toxicity, but the longer-term benefits are unknown. We performed a secondary analysis of MIRAGE, a phase 3 randomized clinical trial of MRI-guided SBRT for prostate cancer, to determine

Cystoscopy and imaging are the gold standard for urothelial cancer (UC) detection and surveillance, but cystoscopy is an uncomfortable procedure with a low diagnostic yield, as only 10% of patients with hematuria have UC [1]. Urine tumor DNA (utDNA) is a noninvasive UC biomarker that has historically suffered from poor sensitivity for Ta stage tumors (<80%) (Supplementary Table 1). We hypothesized
