Cáncer de próstata resistente a la castración no metastásico: recomendaciones de manejo / Non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer: management recommendations

Introducción y objetivo: La supervivencia y calidad de vida (QoL) de los pacientes con cáncer de próstata resistente a la castración no metastásico (CPRCnm) se deteriora de forma muy significativa cuando llegan a desarrollar metástasis. Los antiandrógenos de nueva generación (apalutamida, enzalutamida y darolutamida) pueden prolongar la supervivencia libre de metástasis (SLM) y la supervivencia global (SG) en estos pacientes, manteniendo su QoL.Material y método: Tras una revisión sistemática de la literatura, un comité científico alcanzó un consenso sobre recomendaciones sencillas y prácticas que unifiquen y mejoren el manejo de los pacientes con CPRCnm en las consultas de urología.Resultados: Se dan recomendaciones sobre la frecuencia de determinación de antígeno prostático específico (PSA) y pruebas de imagen en pacientes con CPRCnm. También se destaca la importancia de las comorbilidades en el paciente con CPRCnm y se ofrecen recomendaciones sobre la valoración funcional y de la QoL que se pueden llevar a cabo en la consulta de urología. Se revisa la eficacia, seguridad y efectos sobre la QoL de los antiandrógenos de nueva generación.Conclusiones: Para la evaluación del tratamiento de pacientes con CPRCnm, es necesario tener en cuenta no solo la edad, sino también las comorbilidades y la QoL. Los antiandrógenos de nueva generación son una opción de tratamiento segura y eficaz en los pacientes con CPRCnm. Las recomendaciones de trabajo pueden servir de ayuda para optimizar su manejo de los pacientes con CPRCnm en las consultas de urología. (AU)

Introduction and objective: Survival and quality of life (QoL) of patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) deteriorate significantly when they develop metastases. New generation antiandrogens (apalutamide, enzalutamide and darolutamide) can prolong metastasis-free survival (MFS) and overall survival (OS) in these patients, maintaining their QoL.Material and methods: After the performance of a systematic review of the literature, a scientific committee reached a consensus on simple and practical recommendations to consolidate and improve the management of patients with nmCRPC in urology consultations.Results: Recommendations are made on the frequency of PSA determination and imaging tests in patients with nmCRPC. The importance of co-morbidities in patients with nmCRPC is also highlighted, and recommendations are also made on functional and QoL assessment that can be carried out during urology consultations. The efficacy, safety, and effects on QoL of new generation antiandrogens are reviewed.Conclusions: To evaluate treatment of patients with nmCRPC, it is necessary to consider co-morbidities and QoL, in addition to age. New generation antiandrogens are a safe and effective treatment option for patients with nmCRPC. The recommendations of this review can be helpful in optimizing the management of nmCRPC patients in urology consultations. (AU)

Contexto y objetivo: Conocer las últimas evidencias sobre Urología oncológica de tumores de próstata, riñón y vejiga, analizando su impacto en la práctica clínica diaria, además de los esquemas futuros a medio y largo plazo.Materiales y métodos: Se revisan los resúmenes sobre Uro-Oncología presentados en los Congresos del año 2020 (EUA, AUA, ASCO, ESMO y ASTRO), las publicaciones de mayor impacto y especialmente las nuevas líneas de desarrollo y avance en Uro-Oncología valoradas por el comité de OncoForum.Resultados: El uso de los radioligandos de antígeno de membrana específico de próstata en el diagnóstico de cáncer de próstata puede tener gran cabida y utilidad en los próximos años gracias a su mejor sensibilidad y especificidad. La caracterización genética del tumor es importante tanto a nivel germinal como somático, dado que las mutaciones en BRCA2 son especialmente importantes por su significado en riesgo. El diseño de estudio más conveniente a nivel de cáncer genitourinario es el ensayo controlado aleatorizado múltiple de cohortes. La aplicación del big data traerá mejoras en procesos, ahorros en costes sanitarios y una potenciación de los estudios en vida real gracias a la facilidad de comparación, gestión y almacenamiento de datos.Conclusiones: El uso de las nuevas técnicas diagnósticas con ligandos de antígeno de membrana específico de próstata aportará una modalidad diagnóstica más completa y el aumento de los estudios del perfil genético del tumor y la calidad de los estudios realizados. La aplicación práctica de la inteligencia artificial mejorará el tratamiento del cáncer genitourinario. (AU)

Objective: To provide latest findings of Urologic Oncology on prostate, kidney, and bladder cancer, and analyze its impact on clinical practice as well as future schemes in the medium- and long-term.Methods:This document reviews the abstracts on Uro-Oncology presented at the 2020 Congresses (EUA, AUA, ASCO, ESMO and ASTRO), the publications with the highest impact and especially the new lines of development and progress in Uro-Oncology evaluated by the OncoForum committee.Results: The use of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioligands in the diagnosis of prostate cancer may have great potential and utility in the coming years due to their improved sensitivity and specificity. The genetic characterization of the tumor is important at both, germline and somatic levels, due to the significant role of BRCA2 mutations regarding risk. The cohort multiple randomised controlled trial is the most suitable study design at the genitourinary cancer level. The application of big data will lead to process improvements, savings in healthcare costs, and an empowerment of real-life studies through ease of data comparison, management, and storage.Conclusions:The use of new diagnostic techniques with PSMA ligands will provide a more comprehensive diagnostic modality, increase the number of studies about tumor genetic profiling, and enhance their quality. The practical application of artificial intelligence will improve the treatment genitourinary cancer. (AU)

Consecuencias de la fractura de pene: complicaciones y resultados funcionales a largo plazo / Consequences of penile fracture: Complications and long-term functional outcomes

Introducción La fractura de pene (FP) es una urgencia urológica con baja incidencia, por lo que existe poca evidencia de los resultados a largo plazo. Este estudio se centra en las complicaciones postoperatorias y los resultados funcionales a largo plazo en pacientes que han sufrido una FP reparada quirúrgicamente en nuestro centro.Materiales y métodos Los registros clínicos de pacientes sometidos a cirugía urgente por FP en un hospital de tercer nivel entre 2006 y 2020 se revisaron retrospectivamente. Los resultados funcionales se evaluaron con visitas telefónicas voluntarias desde junio del 2020 a febrero del 2021. Se realizó un cribado de sintomatología del tracto urinario inferior mediante el cuestionario IPSS, de función sexual mediante el EHS y el IIEF-5, y de alteraciones morfológicas mediante pregunta directa a los pacientes.ResultadosCuarenta y un pacientes fueron sometidos a cirugía por FP; 11 de ellos además asociaron lesión uretral (mayor incidencia si había lesión de ambos cuerpos cavernosos, 19,4 vs. 80%, p<0,05). Solo un paciente presentó una complicación Clavien-Dindo tipo 3a por dehiscencia de la herida, 4 (13%) tipo 2 y 9 (29%) tipo 1. Realizaron seguimiento a largo plazo 24 pacientes, de los cuales 20 (83,3%) presentaban una función sexual normal. Doce (50%) presentaban un nódulo palpable en la zona de la fractura, 8 (33,3%) curvatura peneana de nueva aparición y un paciente con lesión uretral previa presentó estenosis de uretra.Conclusión En la fractura de pene, hay más incidencia de lesión uretral si se afectan ambos cuerpos cavernosos. Las secuelas funcionales a largo plazo tras la reparación quirúrgica de una FP son poco frecuentes (AU)

Introduction Penile fracture (PF) is a urological emergency with low incidence, and evidence of its long-term outcomes is scarce. This study focuses on postoperative complications and long-term functional outcomes in patients with PF and surgical repair at our center.Materials and method Clinical records of patients undergoing urgent surgery for PF at a third level hospital between 2006 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Functional outcomes were assessed with voluntary telephone interviews from June 2020 to February 2021. Lower urinary tract symptoms were screened by IPSS questionnaire, sexual function by EHS and IIEF-5, and morphological alterations by direct questions to patients.ResultsA total of 41 patients underwent surgery for PF. Eleven of them also had urethral injury (higher incidence if there was bilateral corpora cavernosa injury, 19.4 vs. 80%, P<.05). Only one patient presented a Clavien-Dindo type 3a complication due to wound dehiscence, 4 (13%) type 2 and 9 (29%) type 1. Twenty-four patients underwent long-term follow-up, of whom 20 (83.3%) presented normal sexual function. Twelve patients (50%) had a palpable nodule at the fracture site, 8 (33.3%) had new onset penile curvature and one patient with previous urethral injury presented urethral stricture.Conclusion In cases of penile fracture, there is a higher incidence of urethral injury if both corpora cavernosa are affected. Long-term functional sequelae after surgical repair of a PF are rare (AU)

Eficacia y seguridad de la colagenasa de Clostridium histolyticum en la enfermedad de Peyronie según un protocolo de tratamiento modificado / Efficacy and safety of collagenase Clostridium histolyticum in Peyronie's disease following a modified treatment protocol

Introducción: La colagenasa de Clostridium histolyticum (CCH) es el único medicamento con licencia para el tratamiento conservador en la enfermedad de Peyronie (EP) que ha demostrado eficacia y seguridad en ensayos clínicos. Sin embargo, el protocolo de tratamiento estándar consume tiempo y recursos, por lo que presentamos un nuevo protocolo de tratamiento con CCH con un perfil más rentable. Nuestro objetivo es evaluar su eficacia y su seguridad.Materiales y métodosSe incluyeron pacientes con EP en fase estable, con curvaturas de 30-90°. Se excluyeron curvas ventrales y deformidades complejas. El protocolo de tratamiento consiste en una dosis completa de CCH inyectada a lo largo de la placa de EP formando 2 líneas de 4 inyecciones. Se educó a los pacientes en los ejercicios diarios de modelado del pene. La necesidad de un nuevo ciclo de tratamiento fue reevaluada cada 4semanas hasta un máximo de 8 ciclos o hasta la disminución de la curva de 30°. Para evaluar la eficacia se registraron los cambios en la curvatura y el número de ciclos. Para evaluar la seguridad se registraron los eventos adversos graves relacionados con el tratamiento, incluyendo la rotura de cuerpos cavernosos, hematoma peneano, hematuria e infección local.ResultadosUn total de 31 pacientes fueron tratados bajo el protocolo modificado. La curvatura inicial media fue de 49,84 (±15,83) grados. Se registró mejora en la curvatura en 25 pacientes (80,6%), con una disminución media absoluta de 20,65 (±15,42) grados y relativa del 44%. La curvatura media posterior al tratamiento fue de 30,67 (±17,25) grados. La mayoría de los pacientes requirieron una (19,4%) o dos (54,8%) inyecciones. Ningún paciente presentó eventos adversos graves relacionados con el tratamiento.ConclusionesLos resultados sugieren que el protocolo de tratamiento modificado con CCH es eficaz y seguro, pero se deben realizar más estudios que ayuden a optimizar el protocolo estándar actual.

Introduction: Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH) is the only approved treatment for conservative management of Peyronie's disease (PD) that has demonstrated efficacy and safety in clinical trials. However, as the standard treatment protocol is time and resource consuming, we are introducing a new CCH treatment protocol with a more cost-effective profile. Our goal is to evaluate its efficacy and safety.Materials and methodsWe included patients with PD in stable phase, with curvatures of 30-90degrees. Ventral curvatures and complex deformities were excluded. The treatment protocol consists of a full dose of CCH injected along the PD plaque, forming two lines of four injections. Patients were educated in daily penile modeling activities. The need for a new treatment cycle, up to a maximum of 8 cycles or until the 30-degree curve was decreased, was reevaluated every 4weeks. Changes in curvature and number of cycles were recorded to evaluate the efficacy. Regarding safety evaluation, treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were recorded, including rupture of the corpora cavernosa, penile hematoma, hematuria, and local infection.ResultsThirty-one patients were treated under the modified protocol. The mean initial curvature was of 49.84 (±15.83) degrees. Curvature improvement was recorded in 25 patients (80.6%), with a mean absolute reduction of 20.65 (±15.42) degrees and relative reduction of 44%. The mean curvature after treatment was 30.67 (±17.25) degrees. Most patients required one (19.4%) or two (54.8%) injections. No patient presented TRAEs.ConclusionsThe results suggest that the modified CCH treatment protocol is effective and safe, but more studies should be carried out to optimize the current standard protocol.

Avances en uro-oncología «OncoForum»: lo mejor del 2019 / Advances in urologic oncology "OncoForum": The best of 2019

OBJETIVO: Conocer las últimas evidencias sobre Urología oncológica de tumores de riñón, vejiga y próstata. MÉTODOS: Se revisan los resúmenes sobre cáncer renal, de vejiga y de próstata (CaP) presentados en los congresos del año 2019 (EAU, AUA, ASCO y ESMO) y las publicaciones de mayor impacto en este periodo con mayor valoración por parte del comité del OncoForum. RESULTADOS: En pacientes con cáncer renal metastásico, los regímenes que incluyen inmunoterapia (nivolumab + ipilimumab, pembrolizumab) han mostrado ser superiores a sunitinib en términos de supervivencia. En pacientes con cáncer de vejiga no músculo-invasivo, pembrolizumab ha demostrado ser una alternativa efectiva en aquellos refractarios al bacilo de Calmette-Guérin, mientras que, en pacientes con cáncer urotelial metastásico, enfortumab vedotin en tercera línea logró una tasa de respuesta considerable (44%). En pacientes con CaP localizado, la radioterapia externa ultrafraccionada no mostró mayor toxicidad aguda que la radioterapia fraccionada o hipofraccionada. Se ha confirmado el beneficio de enzalutamida y apalutamida asociados a la castración en pacientes con CaP M1, independientemente del volumen de la enfermedad. En los pacientes con CaP resistente a la castración (CPRC) M0, el tratamiento con enzalutamida, apalutamida o darolutamida se ha asociado con un retraso de la aparición de metástasis y la prolongación de la supervivencia. Cabazitaxel ha demostrado un beneficio en la supervivencia de pacientes con CPRC metastásico, mientras que olaparib mostró actividad antitumoral tras la quimioterapia en aquellos tumores con mutaciones en genes de reparación del ADN. CONCLUSIONES: Estos datos ponen de manifiesto la incorporación de la inmunoterapia como alternativa novedosa para combatir el cáncer renal y de vejiga. Cabe destacar la llegada de nuevos agentes para líneas avanzadas en el carcinoma urotelial y queda establecida la eficacia de enzalutamida y apalutamida en CaP metastásico de novo. En el CPRC metastásico, cabacitaxel y olaparib (dirigido a mutaciones) son opciones terapéuticas prometedoras

OBJECTIVE: Review the latest evidence on urologic oncology on kidney, bladder and prostate tumors. METHODS: Abstracts on kidney, bladder and prostate cancer presented at the 2019 congresses (EAU, AUA, ASCO and ESMO) and the publications with the greatest impact in this period, with the highest evaluation by the OncoForum committee, are reviewed. RESULTS: In patients with metastatic kidney cancer, regimens including immunotherapy (nivolumab + ipilimumab, pembrolizumab) have been shown to be superior to sunitinib in terms of survival. In patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, pembrolizumab has been shown to be an effective alternative in those refractory to bacillus Calmette-Guérin, while in patients with metastatic urothelial cancer, third-line enfortumab vedotin achieved a significant response rate (44%). In patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa), ultrafractionated external radiotherapy did not show any greater acute toxicity than fractionated or hypofractionated radiotherapy. The benefit of enzalutamide and apalutamide associated with castration has been confirmed in M1 PCa patients, regardless of disease volume. In patients with castration-resistant M0 PCa, treatment with enzalutamide, apalutamide or darolutamide has been associated with a delay in the occurrence of metastasis and prolonged survival. Cabazitaxel has demonstrated a survival benefit in patients with metastatic CRPC, while olaparib showed anti-tumor activity after chemotherapy in those tumors with mutations in DNA repair genes. CONCLUSIONS: These data show the implementation of immunotherapy as a novel alternative against renal and bladder cancer. The arrival of new agents for advanced urothelial carcinoma should be highlighted, and the efficacy of enzalutamide and apalutamide in de novo metastatic prostate cancer is established. In metastatic CRPC, cabazitaxel and olaparib (targeting mutations) are promising therapeutic options

Objetivo: Conocer las últimas evidencias sobre Urología oncológica de tumores de próstata, riñón y vejiga, analizando su impacto en la práctica clínica diaria, además de los esquemas futuros a medio y largo plazo. Métodos: Se revisan los resúmenes sobre cáncer de próstata, renal y vejiga presentados en los congresos del año 2017 (EAU, AUA, ASCO, ESMO y ASTRO) y las publicaciones de mayor impacto en este periodo que recibieron mayor valoración por parte del comité del OncoForum. Resultados: En pacientes con cáncer renal de alto riesgo de recurrencia tras nefrectomía, se observó beneficio de sunitinib adyuvante versus placebo en el subgrupo de mayor riesgo. En pacientes con cáncer uroterial avanzado inelegibles a cisplatino, pembrolizumab en primera línea dio lugar a respuestas duraderas clínicamente significativas. En pacientes con cáncer de próstata (CaP) localizado, el tratamiento por progresión de la enfermedad fue menos frecuente con prostatectomía radical (PR) que con observación (diferencia absoluta de 26,2%) y se asoció a mayor frecuencia de eventos adversos (EA). En pacientes con CaP M0, la adición de abiraterona más prednisona (ABI + P) a deprivación androgénica (TDA) supuso menos muertes y menos eventos por fallo de tratamiento (p < 0,001). En pacientes con cáncer de próstata resistente a castración metastásico (CPRCm) tratados previamente con abiraterona, la mediana de supervivencia libre de progresión radiográfica (SLPr) con enzalutamida fue de 8,1 meses y la de supervivencia global (SG) no se alcanzó. Conclusiones: En pacientes con cáncer renal de alto riesgo de recurrencia tras nefrectomía, sunitinib adyuvante otorgó beneficio en todos los subgrupos, incluidos aquellos de mayor riesgo. En pacientes con CaP localizado, la PR no se asoció significativamente con mortalidad por todas las causas o mortalidad cáncer específica en comparación con observación. En pacientes con CaP M0, TDA combinado con ABI + P se asoció significativamente con mayores tasas de SG y SLP que TDA solo. En pacientes con CPRCm tratados previamente con abiraterona en tratamiento con enzalutamida permaneció activo

Objective: To put forth new findings of urologic oncology with impact on clinical practice presented during 2017 in the main annual meetings. Methods: This document reviews abstracts on prostate, kidney and bladder cancer presented at the congresses of 2016 (EAU, AUA, ASCO, ESMO and ASTRO) and publications with the highest impact in this period valued with the highest scores by the OncoForum committee. Results: Among patients at high risk of recurrent renal cell carcinoma after nephrectomy, adjuvant sunitinib compared to placebo showed a benefit in patients at higher risk of recurrence. In cisplatin-ineligible advanced urothelial cancer, pembrolizumab elicits clinically meaningful, durable responses. Among patients with localized prostate cancer, treatment for disease progression was less frequent (absolute difference, 26.2 percentage pontis) and adverse events was more frequent with surgery than with observation. Among patients with locally advanced or merastatic prostate cancer, androgen-deprivation therapy plus abiraterone and prednisolone resulted in fewer deaths and fewer treatment-failure events (P < .001). Among patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer previously treated with abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide median radiographic progression free survival was 8,1 months and enzalutamide median overall survival was not reached. Conclusions: Among patients at high risk of recurrent renal cell carcinoma after nephrectomy, adjuvant sunitinib showed a benefit across subgroups including patients at higher risk of recurrence. Among patients with localized prostate cancer, surgery was not associated with significantly lower all-cause or porstate-cancer mortality than observation. Among patients with locally advanced or merastatic prostate cancer, androgen-deprivation therapy plus abiraterone and prednisolone was associated with significantly higher rates of overall and failure-free survival than androgen-deprivation therapy alone. In patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer previously treated with abiraterone enzalutamide remained active

Objetivo: Conocer las últimas evidencias sobre urología oncológica de tumores de próstata, riñón y vejiga, analizando su impacto en la práctica clínica diaria, además de los esquemas futuros a medio y largo plazo. Adquisición de la evidencia: Se revisan los resúmenes sobre cáncer de próstata, renal y vejiga presentados en los congresos del año 2016 (EAU, AUA, ASCO, ESMO y ASTRO) y las publicaciones de mayor impacto en este periodo que recibieron mayor valoración por parte del comité del OncoForum. Síntesis de la evidencia: En pacientes con carcinoma renal localizado de alto riesgo tras nefrectomía la enfermedad libre de progresión fue significativamente mayor para sunitinib que para el grupo placebo, con eventos adversos más frecuentes. En pacientes con cáncer de vejiga localmente avanzado o metastásico aletozumab obtuvo tasas de repuesta global en todos los subgrupos de pacientes, incluidos aquellos con mal pronóstico. En pacientes con cáncer de próstata localizado la diferencia de mortalidad cáncer específica entre prostatectomía radical, radioterapia o seguimiento activo no fue significativa (p = 0,48). En el estudio TERRAIN, con pacientes con cáncer de próstata resistente a la castración, se comunicaron eventos adversos graves en el 31% y el 23% de los pacientes tratados con enzalutamida y bicalutamida, respectivamente. Además, enzalutamida mejoró significativamente la supervivencia libre de progresión (1,57 meses) en comparación con bicatulamida (5,8 meses) (p < 0,0001). En el estudio ESTRIVE enzalutamida redujo el riesgo de progresión o muerte en un 76% en comparación con bicalutamida (p = 0,001). Conclusiones: En pacientes con cáncer renal de alto riesgo tras nefrectomía se ha evaluado sunitinb como opción de tratamiento. En pacientes con cáncer de próstata localizado la mortalidad cáncer específica fue baja, independientemente del tratamiento asignado (prostatectomía radical, radioterapia o seguimiento activo). En cáncer de próstata resistente a la castración se han publicado nuevos resultados de la eficacia y seguridad de enzalutamida y abiraterona, que han mostrado efectos beneficiosos en pacientes metastásicos y no metastásicos

Acquisition of evidence: This document reviews abstracts on prostate, kidney and bladder cancer presented at the congresses of 2016 (EAU, AUA, ASCO, ESMO and ASTRO) and publications with the highest impact in this period valued with the highest scores by the OncoForum committee. Synthesis of evidence: In High-Risk Renal-Cell carcinoma after nephrectomy, disease-free survival was significantly greater for sunitinib than placebo group, with adverse events more frequents. In locally advanced and metastatic urotherial carcinoma patients, aletozumab achieved overall response rate in all subgroups of patients, included poor prognostic. In localized prostate cancer, the difference of prostate-cancer-specific mortality among active monitoring, radical prostatectomy and external-beam radiotherapy was not significant (P = 0,48). In TERRAIN study, with castration-resistant prostate cancer patients, adverse events was reported in 31% and 23% of patients treated with enzalutamide and bicalutamide, respectively. Moreover, enzalutamide significantly improved median progression-free survival (15.7 months) compared bicalutamide (5.8 months) (P < .0001). In SRTIVE study, Enzalutamide reduced the risk of progression or death by 76% compared with bicalutamide (P < .001). Conclusions: In high-risk renal-cell carcinoma after nephrectomy, sunitinb has been considered as treatment choice. In localized prostate cancer, prostate-cancer-specific mortality was low irrespective of the treatment assigned (active monitoring, radical prostatectomy and external-beam radiotherapy). In metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer new results of treatment with enzalutamide and abiraterone has been published, wich have been shown beneficial effects in metastatic and no metastatic patients

Objetivo: Conocer las últimas evidencias sobre urología oncológica de tumores de próstata, riñón y vejiga, analizando su impacto en la práctica clínica diaria, además de los esquemas futuros a medio y largo plazo. Métodos: Se revisan los resúmenes sobre cáncer de próstata, renal y de vejiga presentados en los congresos del año 2015 (EAU, AUA, ASCO, ESMO y ASTRO) que recibieron mayor valoración por parte del comité de OncoForum. Resultados: En pacientes con cáncer renal avanzado, cabozantinib podría representar una nueva opción de tratamiento en segunda línea o posteriores. En cáncer de vejiga musculoinvasivo, el perfil de expresión genética podría predecir el beneficio clínico de la neoadyuvancia en el tratamiento de tumores uroteliales. En cáncer de próstata resistente a castración metastásico se han presentado resultados de diferentes estudios que han evaluado la adición de quimioterapia al tratamiento estándar con privación androgénica, mostrando reducción del riesgo de la progresión y tasas de respuesta de PSA más elevadas. Conclusiones: En cáncer renal se han presentado nuevas opciones en segunda línea de tratamiento. En cáncer de próstata resistente a castración metastásico se han publicado diferentes estudios sobre el tratamiento con enzalutamida en los que se ha mostrado que puede retrasar la enfermedad sintomática y tener un beneficio sobre la supervivencia global

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

Does the Pulsatile Preservation Machine Have Any Impact in the Discard Rate of Kidneys From Older Donors After Brain Death?

BACKGROUND: Donors after brain death (DBD) older than 60 years have become 46.8% of our current activity, with higher risk of renal discard rate (RDR). Assessment of kidney suitability requires complementary strategies: macroscopic evaluation, kidney biopsy score (KBS), and renal hemodynamic evaluation with the Pulsatile Perfusion Machine (PPM). METHODS: Descriptive, cross-sectional, comparative study of kidneys procured and RDR, comparing 3 time periods: 2000 to June 2004, when only KBS were used; July 2004 to 2008 (introduction of PPM and learning period); and 2009 to 2013 (experienced use of PPM). Transplantation criteria were KBS <3 and PPM renal resistance <0.4 mm Hg/mL/min and arterial renal flow >70 mL/min. RESULTS: Between 2000 and 2013, a 59.2% reduction in DBD kidneys was observed. However, older kidneys had an increase from 33.5% to 46.8%. The RDR had increased, comparing the first to the third period from 25.4% to 38.3%. However, the RDR was lower when kidneys were evaluated with PPM than those evaluated only with KBS and preserved in cold storage (CS) (21.4% versus 43.7%). There was a significant difference in cold ischemia time, because CS kidney was grafted before PPM. During the third period, more kidneys with KBS ≥4 were assigned to PPM. CONCLUSIONS: Notwithstanding the decrease in DBD-procured kidneys and the increase in older kidneys during last period, the use of PPM allowed low DR compared with CS. A bias in the results of PPM could be generated when kidneys with higher KBS were excluded from PPM. The use of KBS only to decide acceptance could preclude the use of an additional tool to evaluate suitability.

Objetivo: Conocer las últimas evidencias sobre urología oncológica de tumores de próstata, riñón y vejiga, analizando su impacto en la práctica clínica diaria, además de los esquemas futuros a medio y largo plazo. Métodos: Se revisan los resúmenes sobre cáncer de próstata, renal y de vejiga presentados en los congresos del año 2014 (EAU, AUA, ASCO y ASTRO) que recibieron mayor valoración por parte del comité del OncoForum. Resultados: El comité consideró importantes los siguientes mensajes: en pacientes con cáncer renal metastásico, la nefrectomía citorreductora seguida de tratamiento con un inhibidor de tirosina cinasa puede aumentar significativamente la supervivencia global; en cáncer de vejiga avanzado es preferible la quimioterapia adyuvante de forma precoz tras la cistectomía, porque aumenta significativamente la supervivencia libre de progresión; en cáncer de próstata, varios estudios muestran que la resonancia magnética multiparamétrica y la fusión de imágenes mejoran el diagnóstico y proporcionan mayores posibilidades de ajustar a los pacientes en el grupo de riesgo adecuado para ofrecerles el mejor tratamiento posible. Los resultados del estudio PREVAIL han demostrado la eficacia de enzalutamida sobre la supervivencia global en varones con cáncer de próstata resistente a la castración sin tratamiento previo con quimioterapia, con metástasis con un perfil de seguridad favorable. Conclusiones: En cáncer renal y de vejiga se continúa avanzando para mejorar el abordaje y los resultados clínicos con las opciones terapéuticas actuales. En cáncer de próstata resistente a castración existe una constante evolución, y en el año 2014 se han consolidado tratamientos previos a la quimioterapia

Objective: To review the latest evidence on the oncologic urology of prostate, renal and bladder tumors, analyzing their impact on daily clinical practice and the future medium to long-term regimens. Methods: We review the abstracts on prostate, renal and bladder cancer presented at the 2014 congresses (European Association of Urology, American Urological Association, American Society of Clinical Oncology and American Society for Radiation Oncology) that received the best evaluations by the OncoForum committee. Results: The committee considered the following messages important: cytoreductive nephrectomy followed by treatment with a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor can significantly increase the overall survival of patients with metastatic renal cancer; for advanced bladder cancer, early adjuvant chemotherapy after cystectomy is preferable because it significantly increases progression-free survival; and several studies have shown that multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and fusion imaging improve the diagnosis of prostate cancer and provide greater possibilities for placing patients in the appropriate risk group in order to offer them the best treatment possible. The results of the PREVAIL study have demonstrated the efficacy of enzalutamide on the overall survival of men with castration-resistant prostate cancer and metastases, with no prior chemotherapy. The study also demonstrated the drug's favorable safety profile. Conclusions: Progress is continuing in renal and bladder cancer, improving the approach and clinical results with current therapeutic options. There is constant progress in castration-resistant prostate cancer; in 2014, prechemotherapy treatments were consolidated

Objetivo: Exponer los nuevos hallazgos en urología oncológica con impacto en la práctica clínica presentados en las principales reuniones anuales durante 2013 (EAU, ESTRO, AUA, ASCO y ASTRO). Métodos: Se revisan los resúmenes sobre cáncer de próstata, renal, de vejiga y los tumores del tracto urinario presentados en los congresos del año 2013 que recibieron mayor valoración por parte del comité de Onco Forum. Resultados: El comité consideró importantes los siguientes mensajes. Las comorbilidades han de ser evaluadas por su impacto en la supervivencia global y cáncer específica en tumores renales T1a, especialmente en varones de más de 65 años. Everolimus no ha demostrado beneficio en tumores renales metastásicos frente a sunitinib. Los pacientes con cáncer de vejiga superficiales de alto riesgo, con 3 o más factores de riesgo, deben ser considerados para cistectomía radical. Los datos del ERSPC siguen demostrando el beneficio del despistaje sistemático. Los resultados de los estudios Ra-223 y enzalutamida demuestran beneficio en el control del dolor y la supervivencia global en la enfermedad metastásica. Conclusiones. Los tumores renales localizados y de vejiga superficiales de alto riesgo han de ser evaluados en relación con factores de riesgo por comorbilidades u oncológicos del tumor, para definir opciones de tratamiento adecuadas. Los nuevos datos de los ensayos clínicos en cáncer de próstata metastásico demuestran la eficacia en el control de la enfermedad

Objective: To present the new findings in oncologic urology with impact on clinical practice which were displayed at 2013 major annual meetings (EAU, ESTRO, AUA, ASCO and ASTRO). Methods: The abstracts on prostate kidney, bladder and upper tract urothelial cancer with the highest scores by the OncoForum committee, presented in 1013 Congresses are included in this paper. Results: The following messages were considered as important by the Onco Urology Forum committee. In renal tumors T1a, comorbidities should be evaluated by its impact on overall and specific cancer survival, especially in men over 65. In metastatic renal tumors, the benefit of Everolimus vs. Sunitinib has not been demonstrated. Patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer of high risk, with three or more risk factors, should be considered for radical cystectomy. The ERSPC study’ data demonstrate the benefit of the systematic screening in prostate cancer. In metastatic disease, the results of the Ra-223 and enzalutamide studies show benefit in pain control and overall survival in metastatic disease. Conclusions: Localized renal and non-muscle invasive bladder of high-risk tumors, should be assessed according to comorbidities or oncologic risk factors, to determinate the adequate treatment options. New data from metastatic prostate cancer clinical trials have shown promising results in the control of the disease
