After a good primary response to platinum-based chemotherapy, treatment was switched to the immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) pembrolizumab due to progressive disease. Subsequently the patient underwent selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT) of the liver and received vinflunine as well as a re-challenge with pembrolizumab.

The new standard of care is a doublet combination consisting of ADT + a new hormonal agent (NHA) or ADT + chemotherapy. Contemporary investigations even recommend a triplet therapy consisting of ADT + NHA + chemotherapy for selected mHSPC patients.

MN was defined as a maximum of two unilateral kidney stones with a maximum stone diameter of 6-10 mm.
Material And Methods: We conducted a monocentric retrospective univariate and multivariate analysis of flexible ureteroscopies (fURS) performed for MN between 01/2014 and 12/2018.

Introduction: Androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) is the main therapy for patients with advanced and metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) and, in combination with radiotherapy, for patients with localized high-risk PCa. Due to its favorable tolerability among different treatments available for ADT, leuprorelin acetate is well established as the leading luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analog. The development of second-generation leuprorelin acetate (LA) depot formulation (Eligard®, Recordati S.
