Tumor Mutational Burden, Immune-Related Adverse Events in Metastatic Urothelial Cancer
Researchers analyzed data from patients with metastatic urothelial cancer to determine whether tumor mutation burden was associated with immune-related AEs among patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
BCG Induction Timing After TURBT Does Not Affect Therapeutic Response
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.
Prior Radiation Linked to Worse Survival in Bladder Cancer Cases
This study examined bladder cancer that developed after radiation for any cancer potentially affecting the organ, not just prostate cancer.
