Background
Hematuria is a cardinal symptom of urinary tract cancer and would require further investigations.
Objective
To determine the ability of renal bladder ultrasound (RBUS) with the Hematuria Cancer Risk Score (HCRS) to inform cystoscopy use in patients with hematuria.
Design, setting, and participants
The development cohort comprised 1984 patients with hematuria from 40 UK hospitals (DETECT 1; ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02676180) who received RBUS. An independent validation cohort comprised 500 consecutive patients referred to secondary care for a suspicion of bladder cancer.
Outcome measurements and statistical analysis
Sensitivity and true negative of the HCRS and RBUS were assessed.
Results and limitations
A total of 134 (7%) and 36 (8%) patients in the development and validation cohorts, respectively, had a diagnosis of urinary tract cancer. Validation of the HCRS achieves good discrimination with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.727 (95% confidence interval 0.648–0.800) in the validation cohort with sensitivity of 95% for the identification of cancer. Utilizing the cutoff of 4.500 derived from the HCRS in combination with RBUS in the development cohort, 680 (34%) patients would have been spared cystoscopy at the cost of missing a G1 Ta bladder cancer and a urinary tract cancer patient, while 117 (25%) patients would have avoided cystoscopy at the cost of missing a single patient of G1 Ta bladder cancer with sensitivity for the identification of cancer of 97% in the validation cohort.
Conclusions
The HCRS with RBUS offers good discriminatory ability in identifying patients who would benefit from cystoscopy, sparing selected patient cohorts from an invasive procedure.
Patient summary
The hematuria cancer risk score with renal bladder ultrasound allows for the triage of patients with hematuria who would benefit from visual examination of the bladder (cystoscopy). This resulted in 25% of patients safely omitting cystoscopy, which is an invasive procedure, and would lead to health care cost savings.

Background and objective
There is no standardized regimen for follow-up after radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer (BC). To address this gap, we conducted a multicenter study involving urologist members from the European Association of Urology (EAU) bladder cancer guideline panels. Our objective was to identify consistent post-RC follow-up strategies and develop a practice-based framework based on expert opinion.
Methods
We surveyed 27 urologist members of the EAU guideline panels for non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer and muscle-invasive and metastatic bladder cancer using a pre-tested questionnaire with dichotomous responses. The survey inquired about follow-up strategies after RC and the use of risk-adapted strategies. Consistency was defined as >75% affirmative responses for follow-up practices commencing 3 mo after RC. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis.
Key findings and limitations
We received responses from 96% of the panel members, who provided data from 21 European hospitals. Risk-adapted follow-up is used in 53% of hospitals, with uniform criteria for high-risk (at least ≥pT3 or pN+) and low-risk ([y]pT0/a/1N0) cases. In the absence of agreement for risk-based follow up, a non-risk-adapted framework for follow-up was developed. Higher conformity was observed within the initial 3 yr, followed by a decline in subsequent follow-up. Follow-up was most frequent during the first year, including patient assessments, physical examinations, and laboratory tests. Computed tomography of the chest and abdomen/pelvis was the most common imaging modality, initially at least biannually, and then annually from years 2 to 5. There was a lack of consistency for continuing follow-up beyond 10 yr after RC.
Conclusions and clinical implications
This practice-based post-RC follow-up framework developed by EAU bladder cancer experts may serve as a valuable guide for urologists in the absence of prospective randomized studies.
Patient summary
We asked urologists from the EAU bladder cancer guideline panels about their patient follow-up after surgical removal of the bladder for bladder cancer. We found that although urologists have varying approaches, there are also common follow-up practices across the panel. We created a practical follow-up framework that could be useful for urologists in their day-to-day practice.

Background and objective
Management of low-grade (LG) urothelium-confined (Ta stage) non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) poses a distinct therapeutic challenge. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), the standard treatment, frequently has to be repeated because of high tumor recurrence rates. This places a considerable strain on both patients and health care infrastructure, underscoring the need for alternative management approaches. Herein, the IBCG (International Bladder Cancer Group), conducted a review to explore the efficacy and safety of deintensified treatment strategies for recurrent LG Ta NMIBC.
Methods
We conducted a collaborative review of relevant literature in the PubMed/MEDLINE and Cochrane CENTRAL databases. Our focus was on high-quality evidence, including randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. We also reviewed guidelines published by prominent urological associations.
Key findings and limitations
Active surveillance, chemoablation, and office fulguration are valid treatment options for recurrent LG Ta NMIBC. These deintensified approaches offer several advantages over TURBT: lower complication rates, less morbidity, lower health care costs, and better quality of life for patients. Importantly, these benefits are achieved without compromising oncological safety.
Conclusions and clinical implications
Our review demonstrates that less intensive treatment strategies for recurrent LG Ta NMIBC are both feasible and valuable. The IBCG recommends use of these approaches for carefully selected patients to help lower health care costs and enhance patients’ quality of life.
Patient summary
We reviewed studies on less invasive management options for low-grade noninvasive bladder cancer, including active surveillance, chemical ablation, and heat treatment. Recent results confirm that these less intense treatment options can reduce the treatment burden and costs for patients and preserve their quality of life without negatively affecting cancer control outcomes.
背景和目的：低级别（LG）尿路黏膜封闭型（Ta 期）非肌浸润性膀胱癌（NMIBC）的治疗是一项独特的治疗挑战。经尿道膀胱肿瘤切除术（TURBT）是标准治疗方法，但由于肿瘤复发率高，经常需要重复进行。这给患者和医疗基础设施都造成了相当大的压力，凸显了对替代治疗方法的需求。在此，IBCG（国际膀胱癌组织）进行了一项综述，以探讨针对复发性 LG Ta NMIBC 的去强化治疗策略的有效性和安全性：我们对 PubMed/MEDLINE 和 Cochrane CENTRAL 数据库中的相关文献进行了合作性综述。我们的重点是高质量的证据，包括随机对照试验、系统综述和荟萃分析。我们还查阅了著名泌尿外科协会发布的指南：积极监测、化疗消融和手术切除是治疗复发性 LG Ta NMIBC 的有效方法。与 TURBT 相比，这些非强化治疗方法具有以下优势：并发症发生率低、发病率低、医疗费用低、患者生活质量高。重要的是，这些优势是在不影响肿瘤安全性的前提下实现的：我们的综述表明，针对复发性 LG Ta NMIBC 的低强度治疗策略既可行又有价值。患者总结：我们回顾了有关低级别非侵袭性膀胱癌微创治疗方案的研究，包括主动监测、化学消融和热疗。最近的研究结果证实，这些强度较低的治疗方案可以减轻患者的治疗负担和费用，并在不对癌症控制结果产生负面影响的情况下保持患者的生活质量。

Gleason grade group (GG) is the most powerful prognostic variable in localized prostate cancer; however, interobserver variability remains a challenge. Artificial intelligence algorithms applied to histopathologic images standardize grading, but most have been tested only for agreement with pathologist GG, without assessment of performance with respect to oncologic outcomes. We compared deep learning–based and pathologist-based GGs for an association with metastatic outcome in three surgical cohorts comprising 777 unique patients. A digitized whole slide image of the representative hematoxylin and eosin–stained slide of the dominant tumor nodule was assigned a GG by an artificial intelligence–based grading algorithm and was compared with the GG assigned by a contemporary pathologist or the original pathologist-assigned GG for the entire prostatectomy. Harrell’s C-indices based on Cox models for time to metastasis were compared. In a combined analysis of all cohorts, the C-index for the artificial intelligence–assigned GG was 0.77 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.73–0.81), compared with 0.77 (95% CI: 0.73–0.81) for the pathologist-assigned GG. By comparison, the original pathologist-assigned GG for the entire case had a C-index of 0.78 (95% CI: 0.73–0.82).
Patient summary
Artificial intelligence–enabled prostate cancer grading on a single slide was comparable with pathologist grading for predicting metastatic outcome in men treated by radical prostatectomy, enabling equal access to expert grading in lower resource settings.
格里森分级组（GG）是局部前列腺癌最有力的预后变量；然而，观察者之间的差异仍然是一个挑战。应用于组织病理学图像的人工智能算法可以实现分级标准化，但大多数算法只测试了与病理学家 GG 的一致性，而没有评估与肿瘤结果相关的性能。我们在由 777 名患者组成的三个手术队列中比较了基于深度学习的 GG 和基于病理学家的 GG 与转移性结果的关联性。基于人工智能的分级算法为主要肿瘤结节的苏木精和伊红染色玻片的数字化全片图像分配了一个 GG，并与当代病理学家分配的 GG 或病理学家为整个前列腺切除术分配的原始 GG 进行了比较。同时还比较了基于 Cox 模型的哈雷尔 C 指数对转移时间的影响。在对所有队列进行的综合分析中，人工智能分配的 GG 的 C 指数为 0.77（95% 置信区间 [CI]：0.73-0.81），而病理学家分配的 GG 的 C 指数为 0.77（95% 置信区间 [CI]：0.73-0.81）。相比之下，病理学家最初为整个病例指定的 GG 的 C 指数为 0.78（95% CI：0.73-0.82）。患者总结：在预测根治性前列腺切除术男性患者的转移预后方面，人工智能支持的单张切片前列腺癌分级与病理学家分级结果相当，这使得在资源较少的情况下也能平等地获得专家分级结果。

Background and objective
It has been suggested that urinary tract infections (UTIs) are associated with delayed diagnosis of bladder cancer (BC). Our aim was to investigate prediagnostic treatments related to UTI and the relation to BC diagnostic delay, reflected by advanced disease at diagnosis.
Methods
We used data from the BladderBaSe 2.0 with data of treatments related to UTI up to 3 yr before BC diagnosis (2008–2019) for BC patients in comparison to a matched reference population. We investigated the association between UTI treatments and more advanced disease at diagnosis in the BC cohort. We used generalized ordered logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (ORs) for more advanced disease as an ordered outcome: non–muscle-invasive BC (NMIBC), muscle-invasive BC (MIBC), and metastatic BC (MBC).
Key findings and limitations
The study population included 29 921 BC patients and 149 467 matched reference subjects. The proportions of individuals receiving UTI treatment were higher in the patient groups than in the corresponding reference groups, with the greatest differences observed for the MIBC and MBC subgroups. The OR for the risk of more advanced disease (MIBC or MBC) with at least one UTI treatment versus none was 1.28 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.19–1.37) for men and 1.42 (95 % CI 1.27–1.58) for women. The association to risk of more advanced disease increased with the number of UTI treatments for both sexes.
Conclusions and clinical implications
Further studies on the effects of treatments related to UTI in combination with other factors are needed to identify reasons for possible delays in the BC diagnostic pathway.
Patient summary
We found that for patients with bladder cancer, previous antibiotic treatment for a urinary tract infection was linked to more advanced disease at diagnosis. Further studies are needed to identify reasons for possible delays in the diagnosis of bladder cancer.
背景和目的：有研究表明，尿路感染（UTI）与膀胱癌（BC）的延迟诊断有关。我们的目的是调查与UTI相关的诊断前治疗以及UTI与膀胱癌诊断延迟的关系，诊断时的晚期疾病反映了这一点：我们使用了来自 BladderBaSe 2.0 的数据，其中包括 BC 患者在 BC 诊断前 3 年（2008-2019 年）接受的 UTI 相关治疗的数据，并与匹配的参照人群进行了比较。我们研究了 BC 队列中UTI 治疗与确诊时疾病晚期之间的关联。我们使用广义有序逻辑回归计算了作为有序结果的晚期疾病的几率比（ORs）：非肌浸润性BC（NMIBC）、肌浸润性BC（MIBC）和转移性BC（MBC）：研究对象包括 29 921 名 BC 患者和 149 467 名匹配参照对象。患者组中接受UTI治疗的比例高于相应的参照组，其中MIBC和MBC亚组的差异最大。至少接受过一次UTI治疗与未接受UTI治疗相比，男性晚期疾病（MIBC或MBC）风险的OR值为1.28（95% 置信区间[CI] 1.19-1.37），女性为1.42（95 % CI 1.27-1.58）。男女患者罹患晚期疾病的风险随着UTI治疗次数的增加而增加：患者小结：我们发现，对于膀胱癌患者而言，既往接受过尿路感染抗生素治疗与确诊时病情更晚期有关。需要进一步研究以确定膀胱癌诊断可能出现延误的原因。

Background
Chemohormonal therapy with androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel (ADT + D) improves overall survival (OS) and quality of life (QOL) at 12 mo versus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone in men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). However, the prognostic role of QOL is unknown in this population.
Objective
To study the relationship between QOL, disease characteristics, and OS in men with mHSPC.
Design, setting, and participants
In this exploratory post hoc analysis, 790 patients with mHSPC completed the QOL instruments Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy—Prostate (FACT-P), Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy—Fatigue (FACIT-F), and Brief Pain Inventory (BPI).
Outcome measurements and statistical analysis
Log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard models tested the association between QOL and OS by clinical and disease characteristics.
Results and limitations
Baseline higher FACT-P trended toward improved survival after accounting for clinical variables (hazard ratio [HR] 0.80 [0.62, 1.04], p = 0.09), while higher 3-mo FACT-P was independently associated with better survival (HR 0.76 [0.58, 1.0], p = 0.05). Patients with the poorest QOL (bottom quartile) at baseline and 3 mo had longer survival if they received ADT + D rather than ADT alone (median OS 45.2 vs 34.4 mo, HR 0.75 [0.53, 1.05], p = 0.09, and 48.3 vs 29.3 mo, HR 0.69 [0.48, 0.99], p = 0.05 respectively). In contrast, patients with the best QOL (top quartile) at baseline and 3 mo had comparable survival irrespective of whether or not docetaxel was added (median OS 72.1 vs 51.7 mo, HR 0.92 [0.63, 1.36], p = 0.69, and 69.9 vs 68.9 mo, HR 1.11 [0.73, 1.67], p = 0.63, respectively). Survival was linked with baseline FACIT-F (HR 0.76 [0.57, 1.0], p = 0.05), but not BPI (HR 0.98 [0.75, 1.28], p = 0.90).
Conclusions
Three-month QOL had a stronger independent association with survival. The most symptomatic patients had longer survival with the addition of docetaxel; conversely, the least symptomatic patients did not appear to benefit. Consideration of QOL may enhance decision-making and patient selection when choosing chemohormonal treatment in mHSPC.
Patient summary
Quality of life independently forecasted the survival of men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer in the CHAARTED study. Close tracking of quality of life could help patients and clinicians make decisions about the appropriate treatment in this setting.
背景：在转移性激素敏感性前列腺癌（mHSPC）男性患者中，化疗激素联合雄激素剥夺疗法和多西他赛（ADT + D）与单纯雄激素剥夺疗法（ADT）相比，可提高患者12个月后的总生存期（OS）和生活质量（QOL）。然而，QOL在这一人群中的预后作用尚不清楚：研究男性转移性前列腺癌患者的 QOL、疾病特征和 OS 之间的关系：在这项探索性事后分析中，790名mHSPC患者填写了QOL工具：前列腺癌治疗功能评估（FACT-P）、慢性疾病治疗功能评估-疲劳（FACIT-F）和简明疼痛量表（BPI）：结果测量和统计分析：对数秩检验和 Cox 比例危险模型按临床和疾病特征检验了 QOL 与 OS 之间的关系：在考虑临床变量后，基线较高的 FACT-P 有改善生存率的趋势（危险比 [HR] 0.80 [0.62, 1.04]，P = 0.09），而较高的 3 个月 FACT-P 与较好的生存率独立相关（HR 0.76 [0.58, 1.0]，P = 0.05）。基线和 3 个月时 QOL 最差（最低四分位数）的患者如果接受 ADT + D 而不是单独 ADT，则生存期更长（中位 OS 分别为 45.2 月 vs 34.4 月，HR 0.75 [0.53, 1.05]，p = 0.09；48.3 月 vs 29.3 月，HR 0.69 [0.48, 0.99]，p = 0.05）。相比之下，无论是否加用多西他赛，基线和3个月时QOL最好（前四分之一）的患者生存率相当（中位OS分别为72.1个月 vs 51.7个月，HR 0.92 [0.63，1.36]，p = 0.69；69.9个月 vs 68.9个月，HR 1.11 [0.73，1.67]，p = 0.63）。存活率与基线 FACIT-F 有关（HR 0.76 [0.57, 1.0]，P = 0.05），但与 BPI 无关（HR 0.98 [0.75, 1.28]，P = 0.90）：结论：三个月的 QOL 与存活率有更密切的关系。症状最严重的患者在加用多西他赛后生存期更长；反之，症状最轻微的患者似乎并没有获益。在mHSPC患者选择化疗激素治疗时，对生活质量的考虑可能会促进决策和患者选择：在CHAARTED研究中，生活质量可独立预测转移性激素敏感性前列腺癌男性患者的生存期。密切跟踪生活质量有助于患者和临床医生在这种情况下做出适当治疗的决定。

Background and objective
Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) have been developed to identify men with the highest risk of prostate cancer. Our aim was to compare the performance of 16 PRSs in identifying men at risk of developing prostate cancer and then to evaluate the performance of the top-performing PRSs in differentiating individuals at risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
Methods
For this case-control study we downloaded 16 published PRSs from the Polygenic Score Catalog on May 28, 2021 and applied them to Michigan Genomics Initiative (MGI) patients. Cases were matched to the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MUSIC) registry to obtain granular clinical and pathological data. MGI prospectively enrolls patients undergoing surgery at the University of Michigan, and MUSIC is a multi-institutional registry that prospectively tracks demographic, treatment, and clinical variables. The predictive performance of each PRS was evaluated using the area under the covariate-adjusted receiver operating characteristic curve (aAUC), and the association between PRS and disease aggressiveness according to prostate biopsy data was measured using logistic regression.
Key findings and limitations
We included 18 050 patients in the analysis, of whom 15 310 were control subjects and 2740 were prostate cancer cases. The median age was 66.1 yr (interquartile range 59.9–71.6) for cases and 56.6 yr (interquartile range 42.6–66.7) for control subjects. The PRS performance in predicting the risk of developing prostate cancer according to aAUC ranged from 0.51 (95% confidence interval 0.51–0.53) to 0.67 (95% confidence interval 0.66–0.68). By contrast, there was no association between PRS and disease aggressiveness.
Conclusions and clinical implications
Prostate cancer PRSs have modest real-world performance in identifying patients at higher risk of developing prostate cancer; however, they are limited in distinguishing patients with indolent versus aggressive disease.
Patient summary
Risk scores using data for multiple genes (called polygenic risk scores) can identify men at higher risk of developing prostate cancer. However, these scores need to be refined to be able to identify men with the highest risk for clinically significant prostate cancer.

背景和目的：低转移性阉割敏感性前列腺癌（omCSPC）是转移性疾病进展的早期状态，与疾病负担较重的患者相比，患者的预后较好。尽管前列腺癌一般较为隐匿，但仍存在很大的异质性，一些患者的临床病程更具侵袭性，而临床特征本身无法解释其原因。我们的目的是研究肿瘤基因组学与omCSPC首次治疗（转移导向和/或全身治疗）后的进展模式（MOP）和失败模式（POF）的相关性：我们开展了一项国际多机构回顾性研究，研究对象是接受过转移性omCSPC治疗的男性患者，他们在首次治疗后至少随访1年，并接受了肿瘤新一代测序。报告了相关通路基因组改变的描述性澳门巴黎人娱乐官网和 POF 结果。MOP定义为I级，长期控制（LTC；最后一次随访时无放射学进展）；II级，少进展（1-3个病灶）；或III级，多进展（≥4个病灶）。POF包括首次失败时病变的位置。受关注的基因组通路包括 TP53、ATM、RB1、BRCA1/2、SPOP 和 WNT（APC、CTNNB1、RNF43）。使用χ2检验比较了基因组与MOP/POF的相关性。探索性分析表明，COSMIC突变特征和差异基因表达也与MOP/POF相关。总生存期（OS）采用卡普兰-梅耶法计算，从首次失败时算起：我们在分析中纳入了267名患者；大多数患者在少转移灶有一个（47%）或两个（30%）转移病灶。3年的OS率与MOP显著相关（多发转移为71%，少发转移为91%；P = 0.005）。TP53突变与明显较低的长期生存率相关（27.6% vs 42.3%; p = 0.04），RB1突变与较高的多发性进展率相关（50% vs 19.9%; p = 0.022）。关于POF，骨衰竭在TP53突变的肿瘤中更常见（44.8% vs 25.9%；p = 0.005），而在SPOP突变的肿瘤中较少见（7.1% vs 31.4%；p = 0.007）。内脏衰竭在WNT通路突变（17.2% vs 6.8%，p = 0.05）或SPOP突变（17.9% vs 6.3%；p = 0.04）的肿瘤中更为常见。最后，内脏和骨骼衰竭与不同的基因表达谱有关：结论和临床意义：肿瘤基因组学提供了治疗远期omCSPC后MOP和POF的新见解。TP53和RB1基因突变的患者病情进展的可能性更高，TP53、SPOP和WNT通路突变可能在转移性有机体中发挥作用。患者摘要：我们评估了转移性前列腺癌首次治疗后的癌症进展情况，转移灶多达5个。我们发现，某些基因的突变与这些患者进一步转移的位置和程度有关。

Background and objective
Recent clinical trials have shown improvement in progression-free survival in men with metastatic prostate cancer (mPC) treated with combination poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) and novel hormonal therapy (NHT). Regulatory bodies in the USA, Canada, Europe, and Japan have recently approved this combination therapy for mPC. Common adverse events (AEs) include fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and anemia. Nuanced AE management guidance for these combinations is lacking. The panel objective was to develop expert consensus on AE management in patients with mPC treated with the combination PARPi + NHT.
Methods
The RAND/University of California Los Angeles modified Delphi Panel method was used. AEs were defined using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Twelve experts (seven medical oncologists, one advanced practice registered nurse, three urologists, and one patient advocate) reviewed the relevant literature; independently rated initial AE management options for the agent suspected of causing the AE for 419 patient scenarios on a 1–9 scale; discussed areas of agreement (AoAs) and disagreement (AoDs) at a March 2023 meeting; and repeated these ratings following the meeting. Second-round ratings formed the basis of guidelines.
Key findings and limitations
AoDs decreased from 41% to 21% between the first and second round ratings, with agreement on at least one management strategy for every AE. AoAs included the following: (1) continue therapy with symptomatic treatment for patients with mild AEs; (2) for moderate fatigue, recommend nonpharmacologic treatment, hold treatment temporarily, and restart at a reduced dose when symptoms resolve; (3) for severe nausea or any degree of vomiting where symptomatic treatment fails, hold treatment temporarily and restart at a reduced dose when symptoms resolve; and (4) for hemoglobin 7.1–8.0 g/dl and symptoms of anemia, hold treatment temporarily and restart at a reduced dose after red blood cell transfusion.
Conclusions and clinical implications
This expert guidance can support management of AEs in patients with mPC receiving combination PARPi + NHT therapy.
Patient summary
A panel of experts developed guidelines for adverse event (AE) management in patients with metastatic prostate cancer treated with a combination of poly-ADP ribose polymerase inhibitors and novel hormonal therapy. For mild AEs, continuation of cancer therapy along with symptomatic treatment is recommended. For moderate or severe AEs, cancer therapy should be stopped temporarily and restarted at the same or a reduced dose when AE resolves.

Regulatory bodies in the USA, Canada, Europe, and Japan have recently approved this combination therapy for mPC. Common adverse events (AEs) include fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and anemia. Nuanced AE management guidance for these combinations is lacking. The panel objective was to develop expert consensus on AE management in patients with mPC treated with the combination PARPi + NHT.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>The RAND/University of California Los Angeles modified Delphi Panel method was used. AEs were defined using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Twelve experts (seven medical oncologists, one advanced practice registered nurse, three urologists, and one patient advocate) reviewed the relevant literature; independently rated initial AE management options for the agent suspected of causing the AE for 419 patient scenarios on a 1–9 scale; discussed areas of agreement (AoAs) and disagreement (AoDs) at a March 2023 meeting; and repeated these ratings following the meeting. Second-round ratings formed the basis of guidelines.</div></div><div><h3>Key findings and limitations</h3><div>AoDs decreased from 41% to 21% between the first and second round ratings, with agreement on at least one management strategy for every AE. AoAs included the following: (1) continue therapy with symptomatic treatment for patients with mild AEs; (2) for moderate fatigue, recommend nonpharmacologic treatment, hold treatment temporarily, and restart at a reduced dose when symptoms resolve; (3) for severe nausea or any degree of vomiting where symptomatic treatment fails, hold treatment temporarily and restart at a reduced dose when symptoms resolve; and (4) for hemoglobin 7.1–8.0 g/dl and symptoms of anemia, hold treatment temporarily and restart at a reduced dose after red blood cell transfusion.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions and clinical implications</h3><div>This expert guidance can support management of AEs in patients with mPC receiving combination PARPi + NHT therapy.</div></div><div><h3>Patient summary</h3><div>A panel of experts developed guidelines for adverse event (AE) management in patients with metastatic prostate cancer treated with a combination of poly-ADP ribose polymerase inhibitors and novel hormonal therapy. For mild AEs, continuation of cancer therapy along with symptomatic treatment is recommended. For moderate or severe AEs, cancer therapy should be stopped temporarily and restarted at the same or a reduced dose when AE resolves.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12256,"journal":{"name":"European urology oncology","volume":"8 1","pages":"Pages 94-104"},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141310409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
