Key clinical point: Chemoendocrine therapy vs endocrine-only therapy conferred longer invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) in premenopausal women with node-positive (node+) breast cancer (BC) and a recurrence score (RS) of ≤25 on a 21-gene assay.

Major finding: The 5-year iDFS was 93.9% in chemoendocrine group vs 89% in endocrine-only group with a significant chemotherapy benefit in premenopausal women (hazard ratio, 0.60; P = .002).

Study details: Findings are from RxPONDER, a prospective, ongoing phase 3 study, including 5,083 women with hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative BC, positive axillary lymph nodes, and RS of ≤25 who were randomly assigned to endocrine-only therapy or chemoendocrine therapy.

Key clinical point: More than 9% of men with prostate cancer undergoing radical prostatectomy report a bad urinary incontinence score. Only approximately 9% of these men receive subsequent incontinence surgery.

Major finding: About 5,165 men completed a posttreatment survey after a median time of 18.6 months. A “bad” urinary incontinence score was reported by 9.3% of patients, and 4% also reported having had a big problem with their urinary function. Only 9.1% of patients with "bad" urinary incontinence scores underwent incontinence surgery within 6 months.

Key clinical point: Men with low-grade prostate cancer undergoing delayed radical prostatectomy (RP) after an initial period of active surveillance show a small increase in the use of secondary treatments, despite an increase in adverse pathology vs those undergoing immediate RP.

Major finding: The incidence of adverse pathology was higher with delayed vs immediate RP (49% vs 36%; P < .0001). Estimated 24‐month secondary treatment‐free probabilities in patients who received delayed and immediate RP were 93% and 96%, respectively (P = .0023).

Key clinical point: In patients with low-intermediate prostate cancer undergoing active surveillance, Gleason grade group (GG) 2 and positive targeted core are associated with significant risk for upgradation.

GG2 (hazard ratio [HR], 2.93; 95% CI, 1.05-8.19) and 1 and more than 1 positive targeted cores (HR, 2.75; 95% CI, 1.25-6.03 and HR, 3.38; 95% CI, 1.65-6.91, respectively) at confirmatory magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided biopsy were significant risk factor of upgradation.

Key clinical point: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based prostate cancer screening was associated with less overdiagnosis of low-risk cancer in statin users, with similar risk for advanced disease and mortality compared with nonusers.

Major finding: PSA screening was associated with increased prostate cancer incidence in statin nonusers (rate ratio [RR], 1.31; 95% CI, 1.24-1.38), but not in statin users (RR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.95-1.10; P for interaction < .001). The screening was not associated with decreased mortality in statin users and nonusers.

Key clinical point: A significant patient- and surgeon-level variation in sexual function recovery is seen over 2 years after radical prostatectomy.

Major finding: At 24-month follow-up, 24% of patients recovered sexual function. Across 12 surgeons, patients achieving sexual function recovery ranged from 3% to 44%. At the surgeon level, the Pearson correlation coefficient between case volume and mean Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite-26 sexual domain score was 0.08 (95% CI, −0.52 to 0.62). The Spearman correlation coefficient between case volume and the proportion of patients achieving sexual function recovery was −0.16 (95% CI, −0.67 to 0.46).

Patients who underwent surgery had a higher likelihood of regret than those who underwent active surveillance (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.40; P < .001) or radiotherapy (aOR, 1.57; P = .01).
