A long commute can significantly impact your work-life balance, according to Mary-Ellen Taplin, MD.

The panel discusses key learnings from recent studies in non-clear cell RCC subtypes and the need to better understand disease biology to develop optimized, histology-specific therapies rather than extrapolating clear cell treatment approaches.

Mary-Ellen Taplin, MD, spoke about working in genitourinary oncology and how she has maneuvered the field as a woman.

Martin Voss, MD, reviews data updates from ASCO GU 2024 on the KEYNOTE-B61 study of lenvatinib + pembrolizumab in nccRCC in addition to real-world outcomes in patients with chromophobe RCC.

Interim findings from a phase 3 trial support adjuvant pembrolizumab as a new therapeutic option for those with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma at high risk of recurrence.

Combining pembrolizumab with cabozantinib produces encouraging efficacy in platinum-ineligible patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma, says Rohit K. Jain, MD, MPH.

Benefits with enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab in prespecified patient subgroups with urothelial carcinoma in the EV-302 trial appear to be consistent with outcomes in the overall study population.

Findings from the phase 3 PROpel trial suggest that olaparib plus abiraterone acetate may help patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer live longer, according to Neal Shore, MD, FACS.

Testing for HRR status prior to a diagnosis of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer may allow for earlier treatment and potentially greater clinical benefit with olaparib, according to Daniel J. George, MD.

Results from a post hoc sensitivity analysis of the phase 3 ARASENS trial appear to affirm the primary overall survival analysis findings.

Data from the GETUG-AFU 18 trial support high-dose radiation plus long-term androgen deprivation therapy as a standard of care in high-risk prostate cancer.

Four of 5 patients with prostate cancer and ctDNA positivity had disease progression following treatment with darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy in a phase 2 trial.

Six months of intensified androgen deprivation therapy plus next-generation anti-androgens may be an attractive option for those with prostate cancer and rising prostate specific antigen levels following prostatectomy.

The overall incidence of bone fractures with prior EBRT to the bone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer remains low.

Additional education on tumor testing and PARP inhibitor therapy is warranted for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, according to Neal Shore, MD, FACS.

Findings support cabozantinib plus atezolizumab as a potential new treatment option for those with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has progressed on a novel hormonal therapy.

The FDA previously granted approval to frontline olaparib plus abiraterone/prednisone in May 2023 for BRCA1/2–, DDR–altered metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Darolutamide correlates with a marginally longer length of stay per hospitalization compared with placebo among those with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
