Rana R. McKay, MD, on Renal Cell Carcinoma: Results From a Trial on Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab
2019 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium
Rana R. McKay, MD, of the University of California, San Diego, discusses phase II study findings on atezolizumab and bevacizumab in non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma and clear cell renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid differentiation (Abstract 548).
Sumit K. Subudhi, MD, PhD, of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses the initial results from a phase II study of nivolumab plus ipilimumab in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (Abstract 142).
Craig R. Nichols, MD, of the Testicular Cancer Commons and the SWOG Group Chair's Office, discusses the superior outcomes obtained at high-volume centers, the impracticality of referring all patients to such centers, and the international efforts to develop virtual collaborations on salvage management and post-chemotherapy surgery.
Howard I. Scher, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses circulating tumor cell number as a transitional surrogate endpoint for survival in phase II trials on metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (Abstract 143).
Silke Gillessen, MD, of Cantonal Hospital St. Gallen, discusses data from a phase III study on the incidence of hypocalcemia in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer treated with denosumab. The trial was designed to assess prevention of symptomatic skeletal events with denosumab administered every 4 weeks vs every 12 weeks (Abstract 139).
Karim Fizazi, MD, PhD, of the University of Paris-Sud and Gustave Roussy, discusses study findings on the efficacy and safety of darolutamide in men with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (Abstract 140).
