Mashup Score: 0On manels and manferences in urology - Nature Reviews Urology - 3 year(s) ago
Balancing diversity on panels at academic medical conferences demonstrates a commitment to the principles of diversity and inclusion. However, it seems we have a long way to go in urology, where two-thirds of sessions at major urology meetings still consist of all-male speaker panels.

Mashup Score: 2Incorporating palliative care principles to improve patient care and quality of life in urologic oncology - Nature Reviews Urology - 3 year(s) ago
Society guidelines recommend incorporating palliative care into standard oncological care. However, misconceptions regarding palliative care are common — notably, palliative care and treatments seeking to cure or prolong life are not mutually exclusive. In this article, the authors discuss the integration of palliative care into surgical urologic oncology and consider palliative care guidelines,…

Mashup Score: 5
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy for prostate cancer has the potential to be combined with other treatment modalities, such as androgen deprivation therapy, radiotherapy or chemotherapy; furthermore, new developments could improve the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy and this treatment could also be applied as focal therapy for this disease.

Mashup Score: 2
The treatment of patients with the PD1 inhibitor pembrolizumab yields benefit in the second-line metastatic urothelial cancer setting. Two new trials have studied pembrolizumab monotherapy in other patients with urothelial carcinoma: an open-label phase II trial has enrolled patients with high-risk BCG-refractory non-muscle-invasive disease, and a phase III trial has compared three first-line…

Mashup Score: 1Using oncolytic viruses to ignite the tumour immune microenvironment in bladder cancer - Nature Reviews Urology - 3 year(s) ago
Despite the success of immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) in other tumour types, the majority of ICI-treated patients with bladder cancer fail to respond. This lack of efficacy might be attributable to a lack of pre-existing immune reactive cells within the tumour immune microenvironment, which limits the efficacy of ICI. In this Review, Li and colleagues discuss how oncolytic virus therapy acts…

Mashup Score: 3Exercise-induced myokines and their effect on prostate cancer - Nature Reviews Urology - 3 year(s) ago
Exercise improves outcomes in prostate cancer, but the mechanisms behind this are poorly understood. This Review discusses exercise-induced blood alterations, with a focus on muscle-secreted myokines, which could have both direct and indirect effects on tumour proliferation.

Mashup Score: 9Cellular senescence as a possible link between prostate diseases of the ageing male - Nature Reviews Urology - 3 year(s) ago
Senescent cells and their secretome — the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) — cause a systemic pro-inflammatory state, contributing to an inflammatory microenvironment. In this article, the authors discuss the presence of senescent cells and the SASP in the ageing prostate and the evidence for a role of senescence in BPH and prostate cancer, as well as possible therapeutic…

Mashup Score: 5100 years of Bacillus Calmette–Guérin immunotherapy: from cattle to COVID-19 - Nature Reviews Urology - 3 year(s) ago
Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) has been used to prevent tuberculosis for a century and is also a standard approach for the treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. However, BCG also has a plethora of non-specific effects that occur via the induction of trained immunity and have raised the hypothesis that BCG vaccination could be used to protect against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)….

Mashup Score: 0Molecular events in neuroendocrine prostate cancer development - Nature Reviews Urology - 3 year(s) ago
Neuroendocrine prostate cancer predominantly develops from adenocarcinoma following a period of androgen suppressive treatment. Outcomes in patients with this disease are poor; the understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind its development will improve future targeted therapy options.
