Racial Differences in Cutaneous Events Among Patients Receiving Enfortumab Vedotin - Beyond the Abstract

Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is a nectin-4-directed antibody-drug conjugate used in the treatment of advanced urothelial cancer (UC). EV demonstrated a 15-month overall survival benefit in combination with pembrolizumab (P) versus traditional chemotherapy in the EV 302 study and was approved as first-line treatment for advanced UC.1 With the increasing use of EV, particularly in combination with P, identifying dose-limiting toxicities early and providing optimal supportive therapy is crucial for extending treatment with this life-prolonging regimen.

CircPKN2 promotes ferroptosis in bladder cancer by promoting the ubiquitination of Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1.

Bladder cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignancies in the male urinary system and currently lacks an optimal treatment strategy. To elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms of BC from the perspective of circular RNAs, we conducted this study.

Correlative Analysis of ATM, RB1, ERCC2, and FANCC Mutations and Pathologic Complete Response After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients with Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer: Results from the SWOG S1314 Trial.

We previously reported that tumors harboring any one of four gene mutations (ATM, RB1, FANCC, or ERCC2) were likely to respond to neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy (NAC), resulting in cancer-free surgical specimens at the time of cystectomy (pT0).

Survival of Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma of Urinary Bladder According to Number and Location of Visceral Metastases.

To test the association between number as well as locations of organ-specific metastatic sites and overall survival (OS) in systhemic-therapy exposed metastatic urothelial carcinoma of urinary bladder (mUCUB) patients.

Trends and Disparities in Next-Generation Sequencing in Metastatic Prostate and Urothelial Cancers.

Targeted therapies based on underlying tumor genomic susceptible alterations have been approved for patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPC) and advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC).

To assess trends and disparities in next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing among patients with mPC and aUC.

Adjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors for urothelial carcinoma: systematic review and Meta-analysis.

To compare disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs) among muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIUC) patients receiving adjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) versus placebo/observation following radical surgery.

Efficacy of Cretostimogene Grenadenorepvec and Pembrolizumab in BCG-Resistant NMIBC - Expert Commentary

The standard treatment for patients with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) includes transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) followed by intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Radical cystectomy (RC) is recommended in patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC. However, due to the high morbidity and risk associated with RC, identifying alternative treatment options for this subgroup of patients is crucial. Cretostimogene grenadenorepvec (CG0070), an oncolytic adenovirus, has been investigated for its potential efficacy in patients unresponsive to BCG. Li et al. recently reported the results of the CORE-001 trial testing cretostimogene in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab.

The current role of pentafecta in the reporting of radical cystectomy outcomes: a scoping review.

Pentafecta has recently been validated for reporting radical cystectomy (RC) outcomes in open, laparoscopic and robotic series. We aim in this review to explore the current role of pentafecta in the reporting of RC outcomes.

Effect of Bacille Calmette-Guérin for Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer After Prostate Radiotherapy.

Little is known about the impact of prior prostate radiation therapy (RT) on the Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy response in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).

We hypothesized that the damaging radiation effects on the bladder could negatively influence BCG efficacy.

What is a Bladder Cancer Molecular Subtype? - Counterpoint.

In an accompanying paper, Mattias Höglund discusses on what is a bladder cancer molecular subtype. He emphasizes the need to consider the aim of tumor classification, which is obviously critical to the approach.
