Understanding causes of death in contemporary patients with prostate cancer is essential for proper survivorship management, according to investigators.
Hospitalization due to MM has increased over the last 10 years, but in-hospital mortality has declined.
Patients who received BCG induction within 3 weeks or 3 weeks or more after surgery for nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer did not differ in their rates of BCG intolerance and recurrence- and progression-free survival, a study found.
Confirmed undetectable MRD after 12 cycles may result in treatment discontinuation.
Study results presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology suggest that the estimated 4-year mortality rate among patients with polycythemia vera is more than 10%, and that causes of death vary.
This study examined bladder cancer that developed after radiation for any cancer potentially affecting the organ, not just prostate cancer.
Response rates have improved as phase 1 studies shifted from chemotherapy to targeted agents for hematologic malignancies.
In a subgroup analysis, neither patient characteristics nor prior treatment history influenced response to a novel intravesical gene therapy for BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer.
In a phase 2 trial, use of the novel oral antiandrogen apalutamide shows promise in patients with very low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer on active surveillance.
