Sumanta K. Pal, MD, on Advanced RCC: Tivozanib to Treat Disease Progression After Axitinib
2021 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium
Sumanta K. Pal, MD, of City of Hope, discusses findings of the TIVO-3 study, which showed that the tyrosine kinase inhibitor tivozanib improved progression-free survival vs sorafenib in patients whose advanced renal cell carcinoma progressed after multiple lines of therapy (Abstract 278).

Elizabeth R. Plimack, MD, of Fox Chase Cancer Center, discusses key abstracts discussed at this year’s meeting on bladder cancer and offers her views on the latest trends and findings (Abstracts 391, 393, 434).

Sumanta K. Pal, MD, of City of Hope, discusses phase II results from the SWOG 1500 study, which showed that compared with crizotinib and savolitinib, cabozantinib was the only agent that prolonged progression-free survival vs sunitinib in patients with metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma (Abstract 270).

Daniel M. Geynisman, MD, of Fox Chase Cancer Center, discusses phase II results from the RETAIN BLADDER study, which sequenced bladder tumor samples while treating patients with neoadjuvant methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin chemotherapy. The goal was to increase metastasis-free survival and also preserve the bladder and quality of life (Abstract 397).

Monika Joshi, MD, of Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute, discusses phase II results from the DUART study, which explored the efficacy of concurrent durvalumab, a checkpoint inhibitor, and radiation therapy followed by adjuvant durvalumab in patients with localized urothelial cancer of the bladder (Abstract 398).

Toni K. Choueiri, MD, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, discuses a preliminary phase II analysis of the HIF-2a inhibitor belzutifan in combination with cabozantinib, which showed antitumor activity in previously treated patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (Abstract 272).
