    Abstract Purpose: To provide a summary and recommendations for the set-up of strategies for cancer patients care in genitourinary oncology clinics during the pandemic and in the recovery period.
    Material and methods: A non-systematic review of available literature on the management of urological malignancies during the COVID-19 pandemic was performed to summarize recommendations to improve the diagnosis and treatment of urological cancers during and after the contingence, including clinical and research aspects.
    Results: Urological cancer diagnosis and management should be tailored according to the severity of the COVID-19 crisis in each region and the aggressiveness of each tumor. Clinicians should adhere to strict protocols in order to prioritize the attention of patients with high-risk malignancies while optimizing resources to avoid the saturation of critical care services.
    Conclusions: During the COVID-19 pandemic urological cancer care has been severely impaired. For proper patient management, multidisciplinary approach is encouraged tailoring therapy according to COVID-19 regional behavior and local institutional resources. Patients with high-risk malignancies should be prioritized.

    Title translation Disparities on prostate cancer survival in Mexico: a retrospective cohort study.
    Abstract Objective: To estimate prostate cancer (PC) survival in Mexico and explore survival disparities according to the marginalization level of residence place.
    Materials and methods: A nationwide administrative claims database (4 110 men) whose PC treatment was financed by Seguro Popular between 2012-2016, was cross-linked to the National Mortality Registry up to December 2019. Patients were classified according to their oncological risk at diagnosis and the marginalization level of the residence municipality. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate multivariable survival functions.
    Results: Five-years PC survival (69%; 95%CI: 68,71%) ranged from 72% to 54% at very low and very high marginalization, respectively (p for trend<0.001). The lowest PC survival was observed in men with high-risk PC (47%; 95%CI: 33,66%) residents in very high marginalization municipalities.
    Conclusions: Overall, PC survival was lower than that reported in other Latin American countries. The distribution of oncologic risk and survival differences across marginalization levels suggests limited early detection and cancer health disparities.

    Abstract Aim: The purpose of this study was to review genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity associated with high-dose radiotherapy (RT) delivered with 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or volumetric arc therapy (VMAT) following radical prostatectomy (RP).
    Background: RP is a therapeutic option for the management of prostate cancer (PrCa). When assessing postoperative RT techniques for PrCa, the published literature focuses on patients treated with 2-dimensional conventional methods without reflecting the implementation of 3D-CRT, IMRT, or VMAT.
    Materials and methods: A total of 83 patients were included in this analysis; 30 patients received 3D-CRT, and 53 patients received IMRT/VMAT. Acute and late symptoms of the GU and lower GI tract were retrospectively graded according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer radiation toxicity grading systems. The relapse failure-free rate and overall survival were also evaluated.
    Results: The rate of acute GU toxicity was 9.4% vs. 13.3% for the IMRT/VMAT and 3D-CRT groups (p = 0.583). The 5-year actuarial rates of late GI toxicity for IMRT/VMAT and 3D-CRT treatments were 1.9% and 6.7%, respectively. The rate of late GU toxicity for the IMRT/VMAT and 3D-CRT treatment groups was 7.5% and 16.6%, respectively (p = 0.199). We found no association between acute or late toxicity and the RT technique in univariate and multivariate analyses.
    Conclusion: Postprostatectomy IMRT/VMAT and 3D-CRT achieved similar morbidity and cancer control outcomes. The clinical benefit of highly conformal techniques in this setting is unclear although formal analysis is needed.

    Abstract Background: The role of cytoreductive nephrectomy on the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is controversial due to its high complexity.
    Objective: To identify risk factors associated to postoperative complications in patients with mRCC after cytoreductive nephrectomy.
    Method: We conducted a retrospective, observational study in 67 patients who underwent cytoreductive nephrectomy for the management of mRCC. Demographic, perioperative and clinicopathologic -characteristics were registered. Surgical complications were classified using the Clavien-Dindo system; major complications were those of grade 3 or higher. We performed a binary logistic regression analysis to identify risk factors associated with surgical complications.
    Results: Mean age was 56 years (37-83). Symptoms were present in 58 patients (89.7%). Weight loss was the predominant symptom (50.8%). Mean tumor diameter was 10.8 cm (4.6-22.5 cm). The rate of postoperative complications was 65%; 21 patients (31.4%) had major complications. Risk factors were estimated blood loss > 500 ml (OR 44.5, CI 95% 2.51-789, p = 0.01) and tumor diameter > 10 cm (OR 17.9, CI 95% 1.2-273, p = 0.04).
    Conclusions: Cytoreductive nephrectomy is a good option in highly selected patients with mRCC. Our major complication rate was 31.4%. Risk factors associated were blood loss and tumor diameter.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the association between life-course leisure-time physical activity (PA) and prostate cancer (PC) among males living in Mexico City. Materials and meth-ods. Information from 394 incident PC cases and 794 popula-tion controls matched by age (± 5 years), was analyzed. Using leisure-time PA information at different life stages, life-course PA patterns were constructed. The association between PA and PC was estimated using an unconditional logistic regres-sion model.
    Results: Three life-course PA patterns were identified: low PA (71.0%), moderate PA (22.0%), and high PA (7.0%); this last pattern was characterized by higher levels and consistent PA practice. Compared with inactive males, those in the high PA pattern (OR: 0.50; 95%CI: 0.26-0.93) had significantly lower PC odds.
    Conclusion: Intense and regular PA could reduce the possibility of PC. These results are in accordance with PA World Health Organization rec-ommendations.

    Abstract Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) with mixed dyslipidemia and prostate cancer (PC) are relevant health problems among Mexican men. However, there is no information regarding the association between MS and PC for this population.
    Aim of the study: To evaluate this association in a population case-control study in Mexico City.
    Methods: We analyzed the information from 394 incident PC-cases and 793 population age-matched (± 5 years) controls, identified in Mexico City (2011-2014). For cases, Gleason score at diagnosis was available. We defined MS history based on the self-report of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and diabetes; obesity was evaluated using weight-change trajectories throughout life. In addition, the four MS-typologies described for Mexican population were used. The association between MS with PC and histological PC differentiation was evaluated using independent multivariate logistic regression models.
    Results: MS history was associated with a high PC probability (OR 1.94; 95% CI 1.37-2.75). Lipid alterations, arterial hypertension, and a marked weight increase throughout life were associated with increased PC probability; however, only the marked weight increase was associated with more poorly differentiated PC (Gleason ≥8) (OR 2.79; 95% CI 1.50-5.17).
    Conclusion: Like other populations, in this Mexican study, MS and some of its components were identified as potential PC risk factors. MS-lipid alteration typology seems to be relevant; however, the novelty of this approach together with the retrospective nature of this study, indicate that a prospective evaluation of the MS typologies and PC association must be performed.
