Currently, the frontline standard of care for patients with mRCC involves the provision of systemic ICI-based combination therapy with no clear guidelines on holding or de-escalating treatment, even with a complete or partial radiological response. Treatments usually continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, frequently leading to overtreatment, which can elevate the risk of toxicity without providing a corresponding increase in therapeutic efficacy. In addition, the ongoing use of expensive antineoplastic drugs increases the financial burden on the already overstretched health care systems and on patients and their families. De-escalation strategies could be designed by integrating contemporary technologies, such as circulating tumor DNA, and advanced imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) scans, positron emission tomography CT, magnetic resonance imaging, and machine learning models. Treatment de-escalation, when appropriate, can minimize treatment-related toxicities, reduce health care costs, and optimize the patients' quality of life while maintaining effective cancer control. This paper discusses the advantages, challenges, and clinical implications of de-escalation strategies in the management of mRCC. PATIENT SUMMARY: In this report, we describe the burden of overtreatment in patients who are never able to stop treatments for metastatic kidney cancer. We discuss the application of the latest technology that can help in making de-escalation decisions.</p>","PeriodicalId":12160,"journal":{"name":"European urology focus","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144224859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound for TT.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This systematic review was undertaken in accordance with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Diagnostic Test Accuracy. A comprehensive electronic search strategy was applied up to January 4, 2024. Colour Doppler sonography (CDS) was the primary index test, with surgical scrotal exploration or clinical follow-up as the reference standard. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) tool was used to assess the risk of bias and applicability. Meta-analyses were performed using bivariate models.</p><p><strong>Key findings and limitations: </strong>Sixty-three studies met the inclusion criteria; 54 (85.7%) assessed CDS, and the others assessed spectral doppler sonography (n = 6), contrast enhanced ultrasound (n = 1), or an alternative combination of ultrasound technologies (n = 2). The summary sensitivity (95% confidence interval [CI]) and specificity (95% CI) of CDS for the diagnosis of TT were 95.3% (91.4-97.5) and 98.3% (96.2-99.3), respectively (42 studies, 4422 participants). Patient selection (related to the risk of bias and applicability concern) was identified as the domain of the greatest methodological concern on QUADAS-2 assessment.</p><p><strong>Conclusions and clinical implications: </strong>CDS has high diagnostic accuracy for TT. The ideal patient pathway for suspected TT should integrate timely access to ultrasound alongside clinical assessment, with careful patient counselling.</p>","PeriodicalId":12160,"journal":{"name":"European urology focus","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144076884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
