The primary outcome was event-free survival (EFS) defined as histological upgrade to GS ≥4 + 3 or transition to treatment. Patients were risk stratified by baseline MRI visibility and Gleason pattern 4, and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to compare groups.<h3>Key findings and limitations</h3>The cohort consisted of 1150 patients with a median follow-up of 64 mo per person overall (quartiles: 32, 107). At baseline, of these 1150 patients, 412 (36%) had GS 3 + 4, 627 (55%) had an MRI-visible lesion, and 201 (17%) had MRI-visible Gleason 3 + 4 disease. The EFS rate at 5 yr was 91% (95% confidence interval: 88–94%) for nonvisible GS 3 + 3, 71% (65–78%) for MRI-visible GS 3 + 3, 70% (63–78%) for nonvisible GS 3 + 4, and 44% (35–54%) for MRI-visible GS 3 + 4. A total of 487 patients had follow-up biopsies, with 74 having more than one, and histological upgrade to GS ≥4 + 3 was uncommon, occurring in 67 patients. Progression to nodal or bone metastases occurred in ten patients and only in those who had declined the recommended follow-up MRI and/or biopsies. Thirty patients chose treatment despite having stable characteristics, and 31 were lost to follow-up.<h3>Conclusions and clinical implications</h3>MRI visibility and secondary Gleason pattern 4 at baseline are associated with progression to treatment and to primary Gleason pattern 4 during MRI-led AS.","PeriodicalId":12223,"journal":{"name":"European urology","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144154002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study analyzed urine tumor DNA (utDNA) from patients treated with atezolizumab in the SWOG S1605 trial to determine whether utDNA profiling can stratify the risk of treatment failure. Urine samples were analyzed using the UroAmp assay at baseline and 3 mo from 89 and 77 patients, respectively. Only 13% of UroAmp-positive patients at baseline achieved a complete response at 6 mo compared with 71% of UroAmp-negative patients (<em>p</em> < 0.001). The 18-mo event-free survival (EFS) was significantly lower for UroAmp-positive patients at baseline (23%) than for UroAmp-negative patients (51%; hazard ratio [HR] 2.8, <em>p</em> < 0.001). Among patients with no clinical evidence of disease at 3 mo (<em>n</em> = 51), the 18-mo EFS was 38% for UroAmp-positive and 86% for UroAmp-negative (HR 3.5, <em>p</em> = 0.01) patients. These findings suggest that utDNA profiling at baseline and after 3 mo of treatment can help identify patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC who are less likely to benefit from systemic immunotherapy.","PeriodicalId":12223,"journal":{"name":"European urology","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144114334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results-Medicare data, we evaluated men aged ≥66 yr with localized prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy (RP), external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), brachytherapy (BT), EBRT + BT, RP + EBRT, or ablation between 2000 and 2017. The primary outcome was any UAE requiring a procedure, with follow-up from treatment initiation and censoring at disease progression. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate the UAE cumulative incidence and the propensity-weighted restricted mean survival time (RMST) to quantify mean UAE-free survival at 18 yr. The cohort included 166 581 patients: 40% received EBRT, 30% RP, 14% BT + EBRT, 12% BT, 3.1% RP + EBRT, and 1.7% ablation. Combined therapy carried the highest risk, with other modalities showing time-dependent changes. At 18 yr, the UAE risk was highest for RP + EBRT (41%), followed by BT + EBRT (35%), EBRT (29%), RP (23%), and BT (22%). Adjusted RMST to 18 yr was shortest for RP + EBRT (13.1 yr) and longest for BT (15.8 yr) and ablation (15.6 yr). In comparison to RP (15.1 yr), UAE-free survival was 2.0 yr shorter with RP + EBRT (RMST ratio 0.87; <em>p</em> < 0.001) and 0.2 yr shorter with EBRT + BT (RMST ratio 0.99; <em>p</em> < 0.001).
