According to a retrospective chart review, there was no significant correlation between BMI and changes in renal function among patients who underwent partial nephrectomy for the treatment of kidney cancer.

“With more potent agents, can we actually cure patients [with prostate cancer]? I'm not so sure about that…because of heterogeneity,” said an expert from NewYork-Presbyterian – Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. “So we'll see. But I think with combinations, maybe someday we're going to be able to get there.”

First results from the RADICALS-HD trial demonstrated improved metastasis-free survival with 2 years of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) plus radiotherapy in men with prostate cancer.

The risk for disease progression or death was reduced by 27% with the addition of cabozantinib to nivolumab plus ipilimumab in patients with previously untreated renal cell carcinoma.
