According to latest results, cytoreductive nephrectomy seems to be no longer a standard for certain patients in metastatic renal cell carcinoma, although some patient groups still benefit from surgery. In muscle invasive bladder cancer, neoadjuvant phase-II-results with immunotherapy show promising results.
The following abstracts are discussed in this SKE:
