ForwardUpdate Series (2023) Lesson 12: Adjuvant and Early Salvage Therapy Recommendations Following Radical Surgery in Urologic Cancers
ERRATUM NOTICE
An erratum has been issued for Update Series (2023) Lesson 12: Adjuvant and Early Salvage Therapy Recommendations Following Radical Surgery in Urologic Cancers. Question 3 is as follows. The online and PDF versions have been updated to reflect this change.
3. You are having a discussion with a multidisciplinary colleague about a mutual patient. The patient is a 67-year-old man with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, clinically localized. Your colleague argues the patient should proceed directly to radical cystectomy because the absolute benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is small and adjuvant chemotherapy trials have proven to have good oncologic efficacy. Your response, based on the AUA Guidelines, should be to
a. Agree, citing randomized trial data demonstrating a definite overall survival benefit to adjuvant chemotherapy
b. Agree, citing the results of 2 meta-analyses demonstrating an overall survival benefit of 50% with adjuvant chemotherapy
c. Disagree, citing randomized trial data demonstrating no overall survival benefit to neoadjuvant chemotherapy
d. Disagree, citing 2 meta-analyses composed of underpowered trial data insufficient for demonstrating a definite benefit to adjuvant chemotherapy

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this continuing medical education activity, the participant will be able to identify risk factors in patients with localized urological cancer who are candidates for adjuvant or salvage therapy, engage with colleagues in multidisciplinary discussions regarding the evidence supporting medical decision-making and treatment in adjuvant or salvage therapy situations, describe the evidence supporting medical decision-making and treatment in adjuvant or early salvage therapy with respect to high-risk prostate cancer following surgery, and identify and engage in multidisciplinary discussions regarding the evidence supporting adjuvant therapy for patients with renal cell and urothelial carcinoma.
