Description
This week on BackTable Urology, urologic oncologist Dr. Bogdana Schmidt (University of Utah) hosts a discussion with medical oncology experts Dr. Rana McKay (UC San Diego) and Dr. Neeraj Agarwal (University of Utah) on recent clinical trials from bladder, kidney, and prostate cancer research presented at the 2023 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Meeting.
First, they discuss impactful data regarding bladder cancers, specifically the CheckMate 901 and the EV-302 trials which show improvement in overall survival and promise for urothelial carcinoma patients’ quality of life. The conversation moves onto kidney-specific trials such as the LITESPARK-005, which offers improved progression-free survival for patients through the use of belzutifan. The panel rounds off by discussing the progress made in prostate-specific trials with emphasis on the EMBARK and SPLASH trials involving Lutetium therapy. Finally, the doctors discuss the trend towards personalized treatment plans based on the unique goals and health requirements of the patients.
