First-line treatment with both atezolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC) is associated with prolonged progression-free survival vs PBC alone in patients with metastatic urothelial cancer, a study found.
Women Have Lower Relative Survival After Bladder Cancer Diagnosis
In a study, women with bladder cancer had approximately 1.5-fold higher mortality than men — but only in the short term.
Guideline-Based Hematuria Evaluation May Up Risk of Secondary Cancers
Uniform use of computed tomography for hematuria workups marginally increases detection of urinary tract cancers while raising the risk for secondary cancers from imaging-associated radiation, researchers concluded.
Quitting Smoking Lowers Risk for Bladder Cancer Postmenopause
Significant drop seen in first 10 years of cessation, continues to decrease as cessation time increases.
Enhanced Reimbursement Incentives for Generic Cancer Drugs Found Not to Affect Prescribing Patterns
Critics of the study say they are not surprised by the study’s conclusions, as oncologists make treatment decisions based on best treatment course, not money.
Adjuvant Radiation Therapy Beneficial in Advanced UTUC
Radiation therapy administered after surgery for advanced upper tract urothelial carcinoma improves cancer-specific and distant metastasis-free survival, a study found.
