    Abstract Although androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) remains the mainstay of castration-sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC) therapy, the disease's heterogeneity and the limited duration of the response have chaperoned the introduction of chemotherapy and the investigation of novel hormonal targeted agents in this setting. Combinations of ADT plus chemotherapy or novel hormonal therapies are being tested at various stages of CSPC with promising results. Furthermore, immunotherapy and experimental drugs are also being actively investigated in this setting. Intriguing multimodality strategies, chiefly deployed for early-stage disease with the aim of maximizing the efficacy and duration of the response, are being explored and may become valid therapeutic options in the future. Ultimately, striking a balance between the clinical gains of these combinations and possibly increased toxicity and reduced quality of life will be necessary. The development of precision medicine and accurate biomarkers is fundamental to progress. Cancer 2017;29-42. © 2016 American Cancer Society.

    Abstract Unlabelled: For >6 yr, docetaxel with prednisone was the only treatment with survival benefits for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). More recently, in clinical practice, abiraterone acetate has been commonly administered prior to docetaxel for the treatment of mCRPC. Our study aimed to review the activity of docetaxel after prior abiraterone. To this end, we analyzed all retrospective reports in the literature describing the overall survival (OS) of mCRPC patients treated with docetaxel after previous abiraterone. The mean OS observed was 12.7 mo, which suggested a significant decrement compared with the 19.2 mo seen in the updated analysis of the TAX 327 study; however, the data are quite similar to the OS of 13.6 mo (95% confidence interval, 12.1-15.1 mo) described in a retrospective single-institution study of 357 men with mCRPC treated with docetaxel with no prior abiraterone mostly in routine practice (86.3%). Because the characteristics of patients recruited in phase 3 trials tend to differ from the real-world setting, we deemed this data set a relevant comparison. Consequently, despite the limitations of retrospective cross-study comparisons, the data suggest that docetaxel retains activity when used as second-line therapy after abiraterone for mCRPC patients.
    Patient summary: We reviewed the activity of docetaxel after prior use of abiraterone and considered the results in the light of the outcomes of docetaxel used as first-line therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients in routine practice. We noted that docetaxel retains reasonable activity and is a useful agent for the treatment of mCRPC patients before or after abiraterone.

    Abstract Background/aim: We performed a multicenter retrospective observational study to investigate the impact of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) on the survival of patients with bone metastases (BMs) from renal cell cancer (RCC).
    Patients and methods: A total of 98 patients with metastatic RCC (mRCC) treated with ICIs were retrospectively enrolled. All patients received standard treatments with nivolumab alone or in combination with ipilimumab from December 2015 to March 2022. The primary endpoint was median overall survival (OS).
    Results: Forty-three patients (44%) had radiological evidence of BMs. No statistically significant difference in OS was reported between the BM population and the entire population (p=0.254).
    Conclusion: Our study suggests some degree of ICI activity to treat patients with BMs from RCC, historically associated with a poorer prognosis.
