Patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma treated with TKIs in the second or third line following lenvatinib treatment showed modest activity, highlighting the need for improved treatment options.
"Patient perception is an important aspect of developing an effective treatment plan, and we should be able to arm patients with accurate data to help them make an informed decision," write Whitney Renee Smith, MD, and Gopal H. Badlani, MD.
"Like most doctors, the majority of my day is spent handholding, counseling, relieving anxiety, and otherwise dealing with problems that aren’t necessarily medical," writes urologist Scott Donaldson, MD.
With additional follow-up of approximately 10 months, monotherapy with the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab (Keytruda) continued to show antitumor activity in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. However, monotherapy alone is likely not a sufficient treatment in this patient population, according to Emmanuel Antonarakis, MBBCh, professor of oncology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
The primary objective of the study was to assess the benefit of cytoreductive nephrectomy relative to immunotherapy regimens utilizing checkpoint inhibitors.
"I was overcome by the sinking notion that my career ambitions were regressing from thriving to surviving-a sentiment I know isn’t unique to my training. What may be unique, however, is how my program responded to increasingly evident signs of resident burnout," says James Anaissie, MD.
"If the documentation supported the use of modifier –22, it should be appended," write Jonathan Rubenstein, MD, and Mark Painter.
