Transdermal estradiol offers fewer hot flashes and lower fracture rates, but higher rates of gynecomastia, as it meets the noninferiority bar against LHRH agonists.

Use of the ProSense Cryoablation System in patients with kidney cancer resulted in an 83.9% recurrence-free rate among 112 patients in the ICESECRET clinical trial (NCT02399124).

The FDA approved a label change for nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg (Adstiladrin) in non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer to improve preparation time.

The combination of selinexor and ruxolitinib achieved a statistically significant and sustained reduction in spleen volume compared with ruxolitinib alone in patients with JAK inhibitor treatment-naïve myelofibrosis, though symptom improvement was comparable across both arms.

Positive efficacy signals in progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) did not translate into an overall survival (OS) benefit for first-line lenvatinib (Lenvima) plus pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg (Adstiladrin) received an expanded NCCN recommendation for patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC.

Early results from TALAPRO-3 suggest that the combination of talazoparib and enzalutamide may redefine the treatment paradigm for HRR gene-mutated mCSPC, demonstrating that targeting DNA damage repair earlier in the disease course substantially delays radiographic progression.

The combination of nogapendekin alfa inbakicept-pmln (Anktiva) and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin was added to the NCCN clinical guidelines for bladder cancer, according to the manufacturer.

Sacituzumab govitecan plus pembrolizumab may enable bladder preservation in MIBC.

A phase 3 trial evaluating TLX591-Tx (lutetium-177 (177Lu) rosopatamab tetraxetan) showed positive safety and toxicity profile in prostate cancer.
