Purpose Of Review: Cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy has been a standard of care in the perioperative management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer for years, but several novel therapies are under active investigation. This review aims to provide an update on recent relevant literature and a forward look at the future landscape of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients who opt for radical cystectomy.
Recent Findings: The recent approval of nivolumab as adjuvant therapy established a new treatment option for high-risk patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer after radical cystectomy.
Introduction: Older patients with cancer often require acute care treatment through emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. This study investigates acute care utilization through ED visits and hospitalizations during treatment and in the two years following the completion of primary treatment for early stage breast cancer (EBC) in women aged 65 and older.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis including descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, and relative risk analysis of 256 women with EBC was performed through medical record review of demographics, comorbidities, disease characteristics, treatment details, and causes of hospitalizations and ED visits.
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome of solid tumor malignancies. In previously described cases of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) associated with secondary ITP, treatment has consisted of nephrectomy, splenectomy, and corticosteroids. Here, we describe a case of metastatic RCC presenting with a right ventricular mass and subsequent development of secondary ITP.

Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 205 mCRPC men. Overall survival was estimated and plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Objective: To investigate predictors of time to metastasis among men treated with androgen deprivation therapy for nonmetastatic prostate cancer who developed castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) within the Shared Equal Access Regional Cancer Hospital cohort.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 458 nonmetastatic CRPC men. Metastases were detected in routine bone scans or other imaging tests.
Background: Previous research has found accumulating evidence for atypical reward processing in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), particularly in the context of social rewards. Yet, this line of research has focused largely on positive social reinforcement, while little is known about the processing of negative reinforcement in individuals with ASD.
Methods: The present study examined neural responses to social negative reinforcement (a face displaying negative affect) and non-social negative reinforcement (monetary loss) in children with ASD relative to typically developing children, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
Purpose: We investigated imaging practice patterns in men with nonmetastatic (M0) castration resistant prostate cancer.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed data on 247 patients with documented M0 CRPC from the SEARCH database. Patients were selected regardless of primary treatment modality and all had a negative bone scan after a castration resistant prostate cancer diagnosis.
