The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety profile and disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) efficacy results after a 2-year follow up.
(UroToday.com) The 2022 American Urological Association Annual Meeting included a kidney cancer session featuring work from Dr. Akira Kazama and colleagues presenting results of their study investigating the development of 3D tumor organoids from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tumors. While surgical resection of localized RCC can be curative, up to one-third of patients eventually recur. This raises the question of how treatment for a particular patient can become personalized and improve over time. Thus, these tumor organoids are being developed with the hopes that they will behave similarly to the primary RCC tumors and serve as reliable models. This exciting work has the potential to serve many purposes as they tested tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), targeted therapeutics for metastatic RCC, and for drug testing. Attempting to improve the life prognosis of patients diagnosed with RCC, this study seeks to address the challenges in developing personalized therapy for these patients.
(UroToday.com) Sunday afternoon wrapped up with a podium session covering the epidemiology and evaluation of stone disease. Dr. Charles Scales of Duke presented research focused on more deeply understanding the patient experience regarding ureteral stent removal. The researchers in this investigation sought to qualitatively understand the patient experience to help spark and guide better patient care.
(UroToday.com) Dr. Matthew Lee and team conducted a study concerning intrarenal pressure during kidney stone operations. Ureteroscopy (URS) is one of the most common surgical interventions for nephrolithiasis, where a ureteroscope enters the urethra and is used to find a path through the ureter and into the kidney. Irrigation is used during the procedure for visualization however, this creates intrarenal pressure (IRP). Excess IRP can lead to serious complications such as pyelovenous backflow, which is hypothesized to occur around 40 mmHg. A study by Jung et Al. demonstrated instances where the IRP went up over 300 mmHg, as seen in the table below.
(UroToday.com) The 2022 Annual Meeting of the American Urological Association was host to a podium session for advanced kidney cancer. Dr. Sari Khaleel presented his team’s work evaluating outcomes of cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) followed by active surveillance (AS) in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
(UroToday.com) The 2022 Annual Meeting of the American Urological Association was host to a podium session on surgical therapies in localized prostate cancer. Dr. Maximilian Schmautz presented the results of his group’s study evaluating the role of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT for the preoperative lymph node (LN) staging of high risk prostate cancer.
Dr. Gandaglia began his presentation by noting that the role of PSMA PET/CT in the primary staging for patients with prostate cancer is still debatable. Metaanalyses have demonstrated that in studies where LN involvement prevalence ranged between 5 and 20%, the negative predictive value of PSMA PET/CT remained steadily above 90%. Although previous studies suggested a high NPV in intermediate risk patients, the variation of FN rate according to the prevalence of LN invasion based on pre-operative risk assessment has never been tested.
