Older adults with metastatic renal cell carcinoma are less likely to receive treatment, and have a poorer outcome than their younger peers, research suggests.

Laparoscopic treatment of local relapse of renal cell carcinoma is a viable alternative to open surgery in selected cases, study findings show.

Research shows that men with prostate cancer have a significantly reduced risk for death if they took statins prior to their diagnosis.

US research shows that men diagnosed with stage I seminoma since the advent of contemporary radiotherapy have a significantly increased risk for all-cause mortality compared with the overall population, despite being unlikely to die from testicular cancer itself.

Adding maintenance thalidomide to standard first-line chemotherapy does not improve outcomes among patients with malignant pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma, study findings indicate.

Researchers suggest that combined therapy with the fluoropyrimidine S-1, carboplatin, and bevacizumab followed by maintenance therapy with S-1 and bevacizumab should be first-line treatment for patients with advanced non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer.
