While neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by radical cystectomy (RC) is standard, many patients experience recurrence, highlighting the need for improved perioperative strategies. The role of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in both neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings is promising, but the optimal approach remains unclear. This network meta-analysis (NMA) evaluates and ranks different perioperative treatments to identify the most effective strategy. We conducted a systematic review and NMA of 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 1995 and 2024, including 5,026 patients with MIBC. Treatments analyzed included NAC ± immunotherapy, adjuvant immunotherapy, perioperative regimens, and dose-dense MVAC chemotherapy. Overall survival (OS) was the primary outcome. A Bayesian statistical model ranked treatments using SUCRA scores. The most effective strategy was NAC followed by surgery and adjuvant nivolumab (SUCRA: 99%, HR 0.43, 95% CrI 0.24-0.74). Perioperative durvalumab-based regimens (SUCRA: 82%) and dose-dense MVAC (SUCRA: 78%) also demonstrated significant benefit. Moderate heterogeneity (I² = 46%) was observed. These findings support integrating chemotherapy and immunotherapy into MIBC treatment. Adjuvant nivolumab after NAC and surgery appears most effective, while perioperative immunotherapy shows promise.

This study represents the first retrospective Danish real-world evidence (RWE) study evaluating the effect of sunitinib in first line in mRCC patients, PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included a total of 268 patients over a 15 year period.

Further, we investigated the effect of somatic mutations in the STK11 gene using different bioinformatics tools. 3D structure analyses and molecular dynamics simulation showed that the mutation occurred within the protein's kinase domain, contributing to the destabilization of the protein's structure; lowered the affinity for ATP binding, and affected the catalytic properties, which may ultimately lead to the loss of its tumor suppressive function.
