    Abstract The mainstay of treatment for metastatic prostate cancer is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Outcomes with ADT are variable but control of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) can often be achieved for many years. Death from prostate cancer is usually due to the development of escape variants able to survive and proliferate in the setting of castrate levels of serum androgens (metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, mCRPC). Several agents can improve survival for patients with mCRPC, including chemotherapy, agents to reduce androgen receptor signalling, the radioisotope radium-223 dichloride, and cellular immunotherapy with sipuleucel-T. Some of these agents have been moved earlier in the disease course and have shown to improve survival in metastatic HSPC also, often to a much greater degree than when the same agents are used in mCRPC. Specifically, survival of metastatic HSPC can be improved with the addition to ADT of any one of docetaxel, abiraterone acetate/prednisone combination, apalutamide, enzalutamide, or darolutamide in combination with docetaxel. Factors affecting outcomes include the volume or burden of disease, timing of metastases relative to the original diagnosis, and patient factors determining the appropriateness of therapy. Unfortunately, uptake of this information by the clinical community remains suboptimal, with many men potentially suitable for combination therapy still receiving only ADT. Some trials have examined the effects of 'triplet' therapies although few were designed specifically to address this question. The best evidence to date suggests that triplet therapy with ADT + abiraterone + docetaxel or ADT + darolutamide + docetaxel, can improve overall survival in metastatic HSPC. Clear opportunities exist to improve survival outcomes for men with metastatic HSPC but need to be balanced against cost, accessibility, toxicity, and patient-specific factors.

    Abstract Purpose: Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) can recur, partly due to seeding of free tumour cells after transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT). Intravesical chemotherapy post-TURBT can reduce the risk but is used infrequently and inconsistently due to cost, complexity and side effects. The objective of this study was to prospectively assess continuous bladder irrigation using water, which may be a safer and easier alternative with comparable effectiveness.
    Methods: WATIP was a prospective, single-arm phase 2 study of water irrigation during and for at least 3 h after TURBT for bladder tumours noted on imaging or flexible cystoscopy. Participants were assessed clinically for adverse effects and with blood tests within 24 h for sodium, haemoglobin and lactate dehydrogenase. The primary endpoints were safety (defined as < 10% adverse events of CTCAE grade ≥ 3), and feasibility (defined as the intervention being delivered as planned in > 90% of cases) and secondary endpoint was recurrence-free rates (RFR).
    Results: Water irrigation was delivered as planned in 29 (97%) of 30 participants (median age 67 years, 25 (83%) males). The only adverse event (grade 2) was clot retention in one (3.3%) participant. Water irrigation significantly reduced urothelial cell counts in catheter effluent over time, unlike saline irrigation which did not. RFR was 56.2% (9/16 participants with low-risk NMIBC) at first cystoscopy (median interval 108 days) and 62.5% (5/8 evaluable low-risk NMIBC) at 12 months.
    Conclusion: Water irrigation during and after TURBT is feasible and safe. Prospective assessment of its effect on NMIBC recurrence compared to post-TURBT intravesical chemotherapy is needed before recommending its use in routine clinical practice.

    Abstract Introduction: Patient presentation at multidisciplinary cancer meetings (MDMs) is a key quality indicator in cancer care and may have particular utility in rare malignancies, such as upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). This study aims to investigate what proportion of patients diagnosed with UTUC had treatment intent changed at MDM, the nature of these changes, and what patient factors may correlate with a suggested change.
    Methods: This study analyzed patients diagnosed with UTUC between 2015 and 2020 at an Australian tertiary referral center. MDM discussion rate and suggested treatment intent changes were analyzed. Patient factors that may prompt change, including age, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and Eastern Cooperation Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS), were assessed.
    Results: Seventy-five patients were diagnosed with UTUC of whom 71 (94.6%) were discussed at an MDM upon diagnosis. Change to palliative intent was suggested in 8/71 (11%) patients. Patients for whom change to palliative treatment was suggested had a higher age (median 85 vs. 78 years, p<.01), CCI (median 7 vs. 4, p<.005), ECOG PS (median 2 vs. 0, p<.002), and lower eGFR (mean 31 vs. 66 mL/min/1.73 m
    Conclusion: MDM discussion resulted in clinically important changes of treatment intent in a substantial proportion of patients with UTUC, potentially sparing futile treatments. Several patient factors were associated with suggested changes, highlighting the requirement for accurate, in-depth patient information at MDM discussion.
