Advances in genitourinary cancer treatment after the 2023 ESMO congress
DOI: 10.5603/ocp.98295
Abstract
The European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) congress is the leading oncological meeting during which the most essential clinical practice-changing data are unveiled. In this review, we would like to present the most clinically relevant data presented during the 2023 ESMO conference regarding genitourinary cancers, including the results of clinical trials with immune-checkpoint inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates, radioligands, PARP inhibitors, and new therapeutic targets. The most clinically relevant studies include the EV-302 trial in bladder cancer, PSMAfore in prostate cancer, and LITESPARK-005 in kidney cancer.
