The effect of treatment at minority-serving hospitals on outcomes for bladder cancer
Healthcare for racial minorities is densely concentrated at a small subset of hospitals in the United States. Understanding long-term outcomes at these minority-serving hospitals is highly relevant to elucidating the sources of racial disparities in cancer care. We investigated the effect of treatment at a minority-serving hospital on overall survival and receipt of definitive treatment for bladder cancer.

Understanding how prostate cancer patients value the current treatment options for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer
Several new compounds are now available for castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Individual costs range between $40,000 and $93,000 with mean survival extensions from 2.4 to 4.8 months. Currently, it remains unclear how patients with prostate cancer (PCa) value the effect of these therapies in the setting of CRPC. (Source: Urologic Oncology: Seminars and Original Investigations)

Role of immunotherapy in bacillus Calmette –Guérin-unresponsive non–muscle invasive bladder cancer
Intravesical instillation of live attenuated bacillus Calmette –Guérin (BCG) is the gold standard for patients with intermediate- and high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). BCG-failures include a heterogenous population of patients who share a designation of disease recurrence or progression following BCG and include patients with complete u nresponsiveness to BCG, patients who respond initially but develop relapse and, in some cases, patients who are intolerant to BCG due to side effects.
