OBJECTIVE - To review the latest evidence on the oncologic urology of prostate, renal and bladder tumours, analysing their impact on daily clinical practice and future medium to long-term regimens.
METHODS - We review the abstracts on prostate, renal and bladder cancer presented at the 2015 congresses (EAU, AUA, ASCO, ESMO y ASTRO) that received the best evaluations by the OncoForum committee.
RESULTS - Cabozantinib could represent a new second-line (or subsequent) treatment option for patients with advanced renal cancer. In muscle-invasive bladder cancer, the genetic expression profile could predict the clinical benefit of neoadjuvant therapy in treating urothelial tumours. In metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, results were presented from various studies that evaluated the addition of chemotherapy to standard treatment with androgen deprivation, showing a reduction in the progression risk and higher PSA response rates.
CONCLUSIONS - New options for the second-line treatment of renal cancer were presented. In metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, various studies have been published on treatment with enzalutamide, which has been shown to delay the symptomatic disease and benefit overall survival.
