Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors have changed previous treatment paradigm of advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC). The ARON-2 study (NCT05290038) aimed to assess the real-world effectiveness of pembrolizumab in patients recurred or progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Medical records of patients with documented metastatic UC treated by pembrolizumab as second-line therapy were retrospectively collected from 88 institutions in 23 countries. Patients were assessed for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response rate (ORR). Cox proportional hazards models were adopted to explore the presence of prognostic factors. RESULTS In total, 836 patients were included: 544 patients (65%) received pembrolizumab after progression to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy in the metastatic setting (cohort A) and 292 (35%) after recurring within < 12 months since the completion of adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy (cohort B). The median follow-up time was 15.3 months. The median OS and the ORR were 10.5 months and 31% in the overall study population, 9.1 months and 29% in cohort A and 14.6 months and 37% in cohort B. At multivariate analysis, ECOG-PS ≥ 2, bone metastases, liver metastases and pembrolizumab setting (cohort A vs B) proved to be significantly associated with worst OS and PFS. Stratified by the presence of 0, 1-2 or 3-4 prognostic factors, the median OS was 29.4, 12.5 and 4.1 months (p < 0.001), while the median PFS was 12.2, 6.4 and 2.8 months, respectively (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our study confirms that pembrolizumab is effective in the advanced UC real-world context, showing outcome differences between patients recurred or progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal metastases (PM) have been reported in approximately 1% of patients with metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC). Outcome data are limited due to the rarity of this metastatic site. Therefore, the aim of our study is to describe renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients with PM treated as per clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Baseline characteristics and outcome data of patients with PM from RCC were retrospectively collected from 18 Italian oncological referral centers adhering to the Meet-Uro group, from January 2016 to January 2023. RESULTS We collect 81 RCC patients with PM. 78/81 received systemic treatment, 3/81 only best supportive care. First line treatment included tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKI) (46/78), ImmuneOncology (IO)-TKI (26/78) and IO-IO (6/78), with different Objective Response Rate (ORR) (43.4% in TKI monotherapy group vs 50% in IO-TKI group, respectively) and Disease Control Rate (DCR) (60.8% in TKI treated patients vs. 76.9% in IO-TKI treated patients). Median PFS was 6.4 months (95%CI 4.18-14.8) in patients treated with TKI monotherapy vs 23.7 months (95%CI 11.1-NR) in patients treated with IO-TKI (p < 0.015). The median OS (mOS) was 22.7 months (95%CI 13.32 - 64.7) in the TKI monotherapy group vs 34.5 mo (95%CI NR-NR) in the IO-TKI group with 53.8% of patients alive at 1 years in the latter group, (p < 0.16). Primary refractory patients were 36.9% for TKI and 15.3% for IO-TKI. According to International Metastatic renal cell carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) score, mPFS and mOS were consistent among risk categories. Median PFS was 36.6 months (95%CI 10.9-NR) for good risk patients compared to 10 months (95%CI 7.5-29.8) for intermediate risk and 2.96 months (95%CI 2.43-11.28) for poor risk population (p < 0.0005) whereas mOS was NR (95%CI 28.65-NR) for good risk patients compared to 35.3 months (95%CI 24.6-NA) and 12.4 months (95%CI 3.52-NR) for intermediate and poor risk population, respectively, (p < 0.0002). Only 34/78 (43.5%) received a second line treatment that was TKI (ORR 8.3% and DCR 41.6%) or IO (ORR 18.1% and DCR 40.9%). CONCLUSION We report one of the largest case series regarding PM from RCC. Characteristics of patients suggest a more aggressive behavior of PM from mRCC. Outcome data suggest that TKI-IO as first line treatment, and TKI as second line, confirm their activity for these patients with dismal prognosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) is a rare tumor with an aggressive behavior. The Meet-URO 23/I-RARE registry includes rare genitourinary malignancies. We extracted patients with PSCC to conduct a retrospective study aimed at assessing clinical outcomes and prognostic factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Primary endpoints were overall survival and progression-free survival. Prognostic factors for OS and PFS were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis. From the Meet-URO 23/I-RARE database, we extracted 128 patients with diagnosis of PSCC. About 48% of patients underwent first-line of therapy. RESULTS In the overall population, median OS from diagnosis was 34.6 months. Significant differences in median OS were observed according to ECOG PS at diagnosis (57.3 months vs. 8.3 months; P < .001), and median age (≤77y 88.8 months vs. >77y 26 months; P = .013). At multivariate analysis, ECOG PS 2-4 at diagnosis (HR 3.04) and lymph node metastases (HR 2.49) were independently associated with a higher risk of death. Among patients undergoing first-line therapy (n = 61), median OS was 12.3 months, and a statistically significant difference was found according to type of response to first-line (DCR 24.4 months vs. PD 7.1 months; P < .001). Multivariate analysis showed that only age >77 years was associated with a worse OS (HR 2.16). A statistically significant difference in PFS was found according to platinum plus 5-fluorouracil versus platinum plus taxane (4.9 vs. 3.4 months; P = .036) and regimens with 2 versus 3 drugs (3.4 vs. 8.6 months; P = .019). At the multivariate analysis only regimens with platinum plus taxane were associated with worse PFS (HR 2.83). CONCLUSION In our registry study, PSCC is confirmed to be an aggressive disease. Poor ECOG PS, presence of lymph node metastases, and higher age at diagnosis appear to be associated with worse survival outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal c carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common urinary cancers worldwide, with a predicted increase in incidence in the coming years. Immunotherapy, as a single agent, in doublets, or in combination with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), has rapidly become a cornerstone of the RCC therapeutic scenario, but no head-to-head comparisons have been made. In this setting, real-world evidence emerges as a cornerstone to guide clinical decisions. OBJECTIVE The objective of this retrospective study was to assess the outcome of patients treated with first-line immune combinations or immune oncology (IO)-TKIs for advanced RCC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Data from 930 patients, 654 intermediate risk and 276 poor risk, were collected retrospectively from 58 centers in 20 countries. Special data such as sarcomatoid differentiation, body mass index, prior nephrectomy, and metastatic localization, in addition to biochemical data such as hemoglobin, platelets, calcium, lactate dehydrogenase, neutrophils, and radiological response by investigator's criteria, were collected. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The median follow-up was calculated by the inverse Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS The median follow-up time was 18.7 mo. In the 654 intermediate-risk patients, the median OS and PFS were significantly longer in patients with the intermediate than in those with the poor International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) criteria (38.9 vs 17.3 mo, 95% confidence interval [CI] p < 0.001, and 17.3 vs 11.6 mo, 95% CI p < 0.001, respectively). In the intermediate-risk subgroup, the OS was 55.7 mo (95% CI 31.4-55.7) and 40.2 mo (95% CI 29.6-51.6) in patients treated with IO + TKI and IO + IO combinations, respectively (p = 0.047). PFS was 30.7 mo (95% CI 16.5-55.7) and 13.2 mo (95% CI 29.6-51.6) in intermediate-risk patients treated with IO + TKI and IO + IO combinations, respectively (p < 0.001). In the poor-risk subgroup, the median OS and PFS did not show a statistically significant difference between IO + IO and IO + TKI. Our study presents several limitations, mainly due to its retrospective nature. CONCLUSIONS Our results showed differences between the IO + TKI and IO + IO combinations in intermediate-risk patients. A clear association with longer PFS and OS in favor of patients who received the IO + TKI combinations compared with the IO-IO combination was observed. Instead, in the poor-risk group, we observed no significant difference in PFS or OS between patients who received different combinations. PATIENT SUMMARY Renal cancer is one of the most frequent genitourinary tumors. Treatment is currently based on immunotherapy combinations or immunotherapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, but there are no comparisons between these.In this study, we have analyzed the clinical course of 930 patients from 58 centers in 20 countries around the world. We aimed to analyze the differences between the two main treatment strategies, combination of two immunotherapies versus immunotherapy + antiangiogenic therapy, and found in real-life data that intermediate-risk patients (approximately 60% of patients with metastatic renal cancer) seem to benefit more from the combination of immunotherapy + antiangiogenic therapy than from double immunotherapy. No such differences were found in poor-risk patients. This may have important implications in daily practice decision-making for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Concomitant medications may potentially affect the outcome of cancer patients. In this sub-analysis of the ARON-2 real-world study (NCT05290038), we aimed to assess the impact of concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), statins, or metformin on outcome of patients with metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) receiving second-line pembrolizumab. METHODS We collected data from the hospital medical records of patients with mUC treated with pembrolizumab as second-line therapy at 87 institutions from 22 countries. Patients were assessed for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall response rate. We carried out a survival analysis by a Cox regression model. RESULTS A total of 802 patients were eligible for this retrospective study; the median follow-up time was 15.3 months. PPI users compared to non-users showed inferior PFS (4.5 vs. 7.2 months, p = 0.002) and OS (8.7 vs. 14.1 months, p < 0.001). Concomitant PPI use remained a significant predictor of PFS and OS after multivariate Cox analysis. The use of statins or metformin was not associated with response or survival. CONCLUSIONS Our study results suggest a significant prognostic impact of concomitant PPI use in mUC patients receiving pembrolizumab in the real-world context. The mechanism of this interaction warrants further elucidation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity has been associated with improved response to immunotherapy in cancer patients. We investigated the role of body mass index (BMI) in patients from the ARON-1 study (NCT05287464) treated by dual immuno-oncology agents (IO+IO) or a combination of immuno-oncology drug and a tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) as first-line therapy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Medical records of patients with documented mRCC treated by immuno-oncology combinations were reviewed at 47 institutions from 16 countries. Patients were assessed for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (OS), and overall clinical benefit (OCB), defined as the sum of the rate of partial/complete responses and stable disease. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to explore the association of variables of interest with survival. RESULTS A total of 675 patients were included; BMI was >25 kg/m2 in 345 patients (51%) and was associated with improved OS (55.7 vs. 28.4 months, P < .001). The OCB of patients with BMI >25 kg/m2 versus those with BMI ≤25 kg/m2 was significantly higher only in patients with nonclear cell histology (81% vs. 65%, P = .011), and patients with liver metastases (76% vs. 58%, P = .007), Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio >4 (77% vs 62%, P = .022) or treated by nivolumab plus ipilimumab (77% vs. 64%, P = .044). In the BMI ≤25 kg/m2 subgroup, significant differences were found between patients with NLR >4 versus ≤4 (62% vs. 82%, P = .002) and patients treated by IO+IO versus IO+TKIs combinations (64% vs. 83%, P = .002). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that the prognostic significance and the association of BMI with treatment outcome varies across clinico-pathological mRCC subgroups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The upfront treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has been revolutionized by the introduction of immune-based combinations. The role of cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) in these patients is still debated. The ARON-1 study (NCT05287464) was designed to globally analyze real-world data of mRCC patients receiving first-line immuno-oncology combinations. This sub-analysis is focused on the role of upfront or delayed partial or radical CN in three geographical areas (Western Europe, Eastern Europe, America/Asia). METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective observational study in mRCC patients treated with first-line immune combinations from 55 centers in 19 countries. From 1152 patients in the ARON-1 dataset, we selected 651 patients with de novo mRCC. 255 patients (39%) had undergone CN, partial in 14% and radical in 86% of cases; 396 patients (61%) received first-line immune-combinations without previous nephrectomy. RESULTS Median overall survival (OS) from the diagnosis of de novo mRCC was 41.6 months and not reached (NR) in the CN subgroup and 24.0 months in the no CN subgroup, respectively (P<0.001). Median OS from the start of first-line therapy was NR in patients who underwent CN and 22.4 months in the no CN subgroup (P<0.001). Patients who underwent CN reported longer OS compared to no CN in all the three geographical areas. CONCLUSIONS No significant differences in terms of patients' outcome seem to clearly emerge, even if the rate CN and the choice of the type of first-line immune-based combination varies across the different Cancer Centers participating in the ARON-1 project.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immuno-oncology combinations have achieved survival benefits in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). OBJECTIVE The ARON-1 study (NCT05287464) was designed to globally collect real-world data on the use of immuno-combinations as first-line therapy for mRCC patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients aged ≥ 18 years with a cytologically and/or histologically confirmed diagnosis of mRCC treated with first-line immuno-combination therapies were retrospectively included from 47 International Institutions from 16 countries. Patients were assessed for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall clinical benefit (OCB). RESULTS A total of 729 patients were included; tumor histology was clear-cell RCC in 86% of cases; 313 patients received dual immuno-oncology (IO + IO) therapy while 416 were treated with IO-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (IO + TKI) combinations. In the overall study population, the median OS and PFS were 36.5 and 15.0 months, respectively. The median OS was longer with IO+TKI compared with IO+IO therapy in the 616 patients with intermediate/poor International mRCC Database Consortium (IMDC) risk criteria (55.7 vs 29.7 months; p = 0.045). OCB was 84% for IO+TKI and 72% for IO + IO combination (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our study may suggest that immuno-oncology combinations are effective as first-line therapy in the mRCC real-world context, showing outcome differences between IO + IO and IO + TKI combinations in mRCC subpopulations. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT05287464.

Abstract
638 Background: Peritoneal metastases (PM) have been reported in approximately 1% of patients (pts) with metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC). Outcome data are limited due to the rarity of this metastatic site. Therefore, the aim of our study is to describe RCC pts with PM treated as per clinical practice. Methods: Baseline characteristics and outcome data of pts with PM from RCC were retrospectively collected from 12 Italian oncological referral centers adhering to the Meet-Uro group, from January 2016 to September 2022. Results: We collect 91 RCC pts with PM. 87/91 pts received systemic treatment, 4/87 only best supportive care. First line treatment included TKI and ImmuneOncology(IO)-TKI with different Objective Response Rate(ORR) (41% vs 53.8%, respectively) and Disease Control Rate (DCR) (57.1% and 80.7%, respectively) as well as median PFS (9.9 mo (95%CI 4.5-15.4) for TKI and not reached (NR) for IO-TKI (69.7% pts were free from progression at a median follow up of 13.8 months). Primary refractory (PR) pts were 35.7% for TKI and 7.7% for IO-TKI. According to IMDC score, mPFS was consistent among risk categories, 36.8 mo (95%CI 9.6-63.9) for good risk pts, 13.8 mo (95%CI 8.8-18.8) for intermediate pts and 2.9 mo (95%CI 2.2-3.7) for poor risk pts. Synchronous PM was associated to shorter mPFS 11.0 (95%CI 3.1-19.0) compared to patients with metacronous involvement as well as ORR (31.3%) and DCR (43.1%) whereas PR was higher (34.7%). Only 43/87 pts (45.7%) received a second line treatment that was TKI ( ORR 30.7%; DCR 61.5%; or IO (ORR 20.6%; DCR 41.3%). mOS was 21.8 mo (12.0-31.5) for TKI and NR for pts treated with IO-TKI (80.8 alive at 1 yrs). According to IMDC score, mOS was NR for good risk pts, 24.6 (95%CI 15.8-33.3) and 3.4 (95%CI 2.4-4.3) for intermediate and poor risk, respectively. Conclusions: We report one of the largest case series regarding PM from RCC. Poor risk patients according to IMDC score, sarcomatoid feature and liver metastasis were more represented in our population, compared to historical control, suggesting a more aggressive behavior of PM mRCC. Outcome data suggest that TKI-IO as first line treatment, compared to TKI monotherapy, and TKI as second line, compared to IO, are more active treatment for these pts with dismal prognosis. Nevertheless, synchronous PM has been reported in 57% of pts with poorer outcome and lower response rate. [Table: see text]

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPi) targeting programmed cell death 1(PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) have revolutionized the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite impressive success, only a small proportion of patients benefit from PD1/PDL1 inhibitors. Radiotherapy (RT) can induce a systemic anti-tumor immune response on local and distant tumors. Some preclinical and clinical evidence showed a critical role of RT to overcome acquired resistance to immunotherapy. Currently, durvalumab consolidation represents the new standard treatment for unresectable stage III NSCLC patients whose tumors express PDL1 on ≥1% of tumor cells (TC), and whose disease has not progressed following platinum-based chemoradiotherapy (CRT). In this review, we focus on the synergic effect of RT with ICPi and the new role that different RT schedules can play in combination with immunotherapy for early-stage NSCLC.

Abstract
The Identification of reliable Biomarkers able to predict the outcome after nephrectomy of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is an unmet need. The gene expression analysis in tumor tissues represents a promising tool for better stratification of ccRCC subtypes and patients' evaluation. METHODS In our study we retrospectively analyzed using Next-Generation expression analysis (NanoString), the expression of a gene panel in tumor tissue from 46 consecutive patients treated with nephrectomy for non-metastatic ccRCC at two Italian Oncological Centres. Significant differences in expression levels of selected genes was sought. Additionally, we performed a univariate and a multivariate analysis on overall survival according to Cox regression model. RESULTS A 17-gene expression signature of patients with a recurrence-free survival (RFS) < 1 year (unfavorable genomic signature (UGS)) and of patients with a RFS > 5 years (favorable genomic signature (FGS)) was identified and resulted in being significantly correlated with overall survival of the patients included in this analysis (HR 51.37, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The identified Genomic Signatures may serve as potential biomarkers for prognosis prediction of non-metastatic RCC and could drive both follow-up and treatment personalization in RCC management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tivozanib is a potent and selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR-1), VEGFR-2, and VEGFR-3, recently approved in Europe for the first-line treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). METHODS Retrospective analysis of safety and activity of tivozanib administered at 1.34 mg daily (3 weeks on, 1 week off) within a compassionate-use program to patients with mRCC with no prior systemic treatment in Italy. RESULTS From August 2018 to April 2019, 64 patients have started tivozanib in 9 oncology units. The median age was 67.5 years (range 40-85), 62.5% males. According to International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium criteria, 27.1% of patients were good prognosis, 57.6% intermediate, and 15.3% poor. Primary tumor had been removed in 71.9% of patients. Histology was clear cell 89%, papillary 4.7%, and unclassified 6.3%. The response rate was 34.4%, stable disease 40.6%, and progression 15.6%. Grade 3-4 toxicities were 7.8% hypertension, 4.7% anemia, 3.1% mucositis, 3.1% asthenia, 1.6% diarrhea, 1.6% anorexia, 1.6% worsening of renal function, and 3.1% cardiac events. Dose reduction to 0.89 mg was applied to 17.2% of patients, and the discontinuation rate due to toxicity was 5.8%. Median progression-free survival was 12.4 months, with 68.7% of patients alive at 12 months. The developing of hypertension predicted increased progression-free survival at multivariate analysis (HR, 0.128; 95% CI, 0.03-0.59; p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS Tivozanib showed good activity and favorable safety profile in a real-world cohort of unselected patients with mRCC. Predictive biomarkers of response to antiangiogenic therapy are urgently needed in order to identify RCC patients who could still receive a monotherapy with VEGFR inhibitors in the first line.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of radiotherapy (RT) and programmed death 1 inhibitors seems to increase antitumor immune responses. OBJECTIVE To assess the outcome and the role of the best combination sequence, i.e. immunotherapy given before, during, and/or after RT, in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS We conducted an observational, retrospective analysis of 95 consecutive patients with advanced NSCLC who received any radiotherapy treatment and nivolumab, as clinically indicated. Median overall survival (OS) and the 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox model was used to obtain hazard ratio (HR) and associated 95% CI with statistical inference by log-rank statistic. RESULTS Median OS was 11.9 months (95% CI, 6.6-17.2). Patients who received radiotherapy during an immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment started more than 60 days before showed a better outcome than patients who started immunotherapy over 60 days after RT ending (HR, 2.90 [1.37-6.12], p = 0.005; median OS, 22.4 months vs 8.6 months, p = 0.005). Median progression-free survival was 6.3 months (95% CI, 4.6-8.0). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that combining irradiation with nivolumab for the treatment of advanced NSCLC leads to improved OS. The optimal time window for the combination of RT and immunotherapy seems to play a critical role for therapeutic antitumor response derived by abscopal effect.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To critically review the potential clinical applications of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioactive ligands in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). RECENT FINDINGS Radioactive probes targeting PSMA hold promise in several malignancies in addition to prostate cancer, owing to the expression of PSMA by tumor neovasculature. The majority of clear cell RCCs (ccRCC), the most malignant RCC subtype, express PSMA on tumor-associated neovasculature. The endothelium of less aggressive RCC subtypes is PSMA positive in a lower, but still significant percentage of cases. PSMA might therefore represent an interesting theragnostic target in RCC. The preliminary data available suggest a potential role for PSMA-targeting radiopharmaceuticals in complementing conventional imaging for staging ccRCC patients at risk of nodal involvement and oligometastatic disease. Additional applications of PSMA imaging may be the selection and the response assessment of patients receiving anti-angiogenic treatments. The effectiveness of PSMA-targeting radionuclide therapy should also be investigated.

Abstract
e14075 Background: Unlike chemotherapy, the optimum treatment duration with Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is not clearly established. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of patients (pts) who discontinued immune-based therapies for any reason except progressive disease. Methods: We conducted an observational, retrospective analysis of 46 consecutive pts with advanced cancer who received ICIs as clinically indicated, at eight Italian institutions. Tumor response to treatment was defined according to RECIST. Median overall survival (OS) and the 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated with the Kaplan -Meier method. Results: 46 pts (median age 68 years [range 41-86]; male: 65.2%) with advanced cancer (n.39 non-small-cell lung cancer, n.15 renal cell carcinoma and n.2 melanoma) were treated with ICIs: 44 pts received programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitors (n.31 nivolumab, n.13 pembrolizumab) and 2 pts programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) (n.1 durvalumab, n.1 atezolizumab). A median of 8 cycles were administered [range 1 to 52]. 36 pts discontinued ICIs due to toxicities (diarrhoea, pneumonitis, hepatotoxicity) and 10 pts for reasons non immune-related. The median progression free survival (PFS) from the beginning of ICIs was 12.4 months (mo) [95% CI: 8.2-16.6] and the median OS was 20.0 mo (95% CI: 11.8-28.2). Median PFS from discontinuation of therapy was 5.0 mo [95% CI: 2.7-7.3] and median OS was 16.1 mo (95% CI: 5.4-26.8). Best response achieved according RECIST criteria were: 1 complete response (CR), 18 partial response, 21 stable disease (SD), 2 progressive disease (PR) and 3 non evaluable (NE). During interruption of ICIs 1 pts achieved a PR. Conclusions: This study shows the activity of ICIs, in terms of outcome and durable immune-response, in pts with advanced cancer even after treatment discontinuation.

Abstract
59 Background: Chemotherapy near the end of life is often associated with increased toxicity and poor outcome. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of patients (pts) with metastatic cancer who received chemotherapy near the end of life. Methods: We conducted an observational, retrospective analysis of 77 consecutive cancer pts (aged ≥ 18 years) who died in hospice between January 2017 and July 2018. Median overall survival (OS) and the 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated with the Kaplan -Meier method. Results: Of 77 pts (median age: 72 years [y]; male: 59.7%) with metastatic cancer, 51 pts (66.2%) received chemotherapies for metastatic disease (mean prior lines: 2.1 ) and 26 pts (33.8%) received best supportive care (BSC). The most represented histologies were lung (31.2%) and breast (11.7%) cancer. The median time from the last chemotherapy and the death was 67 days. The median progression free survival (PFS) of the last treatment was 45 days. According to Earle’s criteria, 6.5% of pts started a new chemotherapy regimen in the last 30 days of life and 2.6% of subjects received chemotherapy in the last 14 days of life. 11.7% and 3.9% of pts received chemotherapy within the last 30 and 15 days of life, respectively. Younger pts (< 70 years) had an increased probability of continuing chemotherapy within the last 1 month (p=0.004) and < 2 weeks (p=0.002) before death than elderly (> 70 years). Conclusions: This study shows that end-of-life chemotherapy is associated with poor outcome. The use of chemotherapy within 30 and 15 days before death was correlated with younger age.

Abstract
Inhibiting androgen receptor (AR) signaling with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) represents the mainstay of therapy for advanced and metastatic prostate cancer. However, about 20-60% of patients receiving first-line treatment for prostate cancer will relapse, evolving in a more aggressive and lethal form of the disease, the castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), despite the use of ADT. Multiple approved systemic therapies able to prolong survival of patients with metastatic CRPC (mCRPC) exist, but almost invariably, patients treated with these drugs develop primary or acquired resistance. Multiple factors are involved in CRPC treatment resistance and elucidating the mechanisms of action of these factors is a key question and an active area of research. Due to such a complex scenario, treatment personalization is necessary to improve treatment effectiveness and reduce relapse rates in CRPC. In this review, current evidence about the major mechanisms of resistance to the available prostate cancer treatments were examined by introducing insights on new and future therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies against programmed cell death (PD-1), such as nivolumab and pembrolizumab, has significantly improved the survival of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In order to determine the subset of patients that can benefit most from these therapies, biomarkers such as programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) have been proposed. However, the predictive and prognostic role of the use of PD-L1 is controversial. Anti-PD-L1 immunohistochemistry may not represent the actual status of the tumour because of individual variability and tumour heterogeneity. Additionally, there may be analytical variability due to the use of different assays and antibodies to detect PD-L1. Moreover PD-L1 expression is also regulated by oncogenic drivers in NSCLC, such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4) fusion with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS). Preclinical studies have shown the potential role of targeted therapy in immune escape mechanisms in NSCLC cells. This review summarizes current literature data on the heterogeneity of PD-L1 expression and the relationship with such factors and with clinicopathological features of NSCLC.

Abstract
177 Background: RT-induced abscopal effect seems increase the efficacy of immunotherapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of patients (pts) with NSCLC previously undergone to RT before receiving PD-1 inhibitors. Methods: We conducted an observational, retrospective analysis of 63 consecutive pts with advanced NSCLC who received RT followed by PD-1 inhibitors at five Italian institutions. Tumor response to treatment was defined according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Median overall survival (OS) and the 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated with the Kaplan -Meier method. Results: 63 pts (median age 66 years; male:60.3%) with advanced NSCLC (adenocarcinoma [adc]:71.4%; squamous cells [sqc]:28.6%) were treated with PD-1 inhibitors after RT. RT was delivered a median of 70 days before the start of immunotherapy.47 pts(74.5%)received extracranical RT and 16 pts (25.7%) performed cranial irradiation. Median OS was 11.7 months (mo) [95% CI, 4.7-18.7] (adc: 13.0 mo [95% CI,7.3-18.7], sqc 5.1 mo [95%CI,2.9-7.3]). Median progression free survival (PFS) was 5.1 mo [95% CI,2.5-7.7] (adc: 9.0 mo[ 95% CI,2.6-15.3]; sqc: 3.5 mo [95% CI,2.0-5.1]). A better performance status (PS) according to ECOG scale was associated with an improved OS (PS 0[21 pts]: 15.4 mo [95% CI,10.8-19.9]; PS1[33 pts]: 11.7 mo [95%CI,4.0-19.4]; PS2[9 pts]: 4.1 mo [95% CI,0.9-7.3]). Median OS in 46 pts who received ≤ 1 previous systemic therapy was 13.0 mo [95% CI, 9.4-16.6] and in 17 pts who received ≥2 previous treatments was 7.4 mo [95% CI, 3.1-11.7]. Median OS in 45 pts aged < 70 years was 11.7 mo [95% CI, 4.7-18.7] and in 18 elderly (≥ 70 years) was 6.5 mo [95% CI, 0.0-17.7]. 9(14.3%) partial response, 23(36.5%) stable disease and 25(39.7%) progressive disease have been observed. Conclusions: The synergic combination of RT and PD-1 inhibitors leads to an enhancement of systemic antitumor immune responses, triggering the abscopal effect, resulting in prolonged OS.

Abstract
Background Currently, there are no data available on the best choice of treatment in heavily pretreated patients with advanced breast cancer. However, the combination of oral vinorelbine and capecitabine has been demonstrated to be effective and safe in patients with advanced breast cancer pretreated with anthracycline. Furthermore, some studies assessed the activity of dasatinib, an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits five oncogenic tyrosine kinase families, alone or in combination with different chemotherapy in patients affected with advanced breast cancer. Case presentation A patient with metastatic breast cancer, hormone receptor positive and human epidermal grow factor receptor 2 negative, pretreated with epirubicine, taxanes and nab-paclitaxel, was submitted to third line chemotherapy with vinorelbine 60 mg/m2 on day 1, 8 plus capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 twice daily from day 1 to day 14 every 21 days. The patient was taking also dasatinib 100 mg once daily for chronic myeloid leukemia. The treatment was well tolerated and, after 15 months, computed tomography scan showed a complete response of liver metastases and bone stable disease. After another 28 months, a 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scan showed a metabolic response of bone metastases without other site of disease. Conclusions This is the first case in literature about activity of dasatinib in combination with a chemotherapy schedule of oral vinorelbine and capecitabine in advanced breast cancer. This treatment showed both good tolerability and great activity with a long progression free survival of 54 months.

Abstract
174 Background: Abiraterone Acetate (AA), an effective treatment for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), is highly variable in its effectiveness and it is well known that form of primary and acquired resistance to this agent, exist. This resistance may partly depend on the increased capacity of CRPC cells to synthesize testosterone and dihydrotestosterone from weak adrenal androgens (i.e. DHEA, DHEA-S) or de novo from cholesterol, in response to a chronic exposition to a low-testosterone environment. The organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATPs) encoded by SLCO genes, mediate the cellular uptake of many compounds, including adrenal androgens. We hypothesized that germ-line variants of the androgen transporter gene SLCO2B1 (solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 2B1), altering the ability of the prostate cancer cell to stock adrenal precursors, may influence the response to AA of mCRPC patients. Methods: Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), exonic SNP rs12422149 and intronic SNPs rs1789693 and rs1077858, were genotyped in a cohort of 21 consecutive patients with mCRPC who were treated with AA at the Sant’Andrea Hospital of Rome, Italy. The SNPs were detected in blood samples using pyrosequencing technique. The median TTBP (Time to Biochemical Progression), PFS (Progression Free Survival) and OS (Overall Survival) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, with 95% CI. To test the association between SNPs and TTBP, PFS and OS the log-rank test was used. Results: The intronic polymorphism of SLCO2B1 rs1077858A > G was associated with TTBP (p = 0.03) and PFS (p = 0.04) of mCRPC patients on AA therapy. Patients carrying the SLCO2B1 rs1077858 risk genotype (GG) exhibited a TTBP that was 8 months shorter than that of patients with the major allele of SNP rs1077858 (AA or GA) (TTBP: A/A+G/A = 12 (95% CI: 12-NA) vs G/G = 4 (95% CI: NA) months). Patients carrying genotype GG of SNP rs1077858 also showed an 11 months shorter PFS on AA therapy than patients with AA or GA genotype (PFS: GG = 5.1 (95% CI:NA) vs AA+GA = 16.7 (95%CI:14.9-NA) months). Conclusions: Genetic variants of SLCO2B1 may function as pharmacogenomic determinants of resistance to AA in mCRPC.

Abstract
485 Background: Currently there are no biomarkers to predict either toxicity or activity of targeted therapy in mRCC. The aim of this study was to correlate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes encoding for efflux transporters and metabolizing enzymes with sunitinib toxicity in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients (pts). Methods: We conducted an observational, retrospective analysis of 60 Caucasian pts who received sunitinib for mRCC from 2 Italian institutions. Correlation between adverse events (AE, according to CTCAE v.4.0) and 4 polymorphisms in 3 genes (ABCB1 [1236C>T, 3435C>T], CYP3A5*3 6986A>G, CYP3A4*1B-392A>G) was analyzed. SNPs were detected in blood samples using pyrosequencing technique. Association between SNPs and toxicities was evaluated using the Chi Square test. Results: 60pts (median age: 61 years; male: 63.3%) with mRCC (clear cell: 85%, other histologies: 15%) were treated with sunitinib (83.3% as first-line). The most common AE (any-grade) reported were: hypertension (85%), asthenia (83.3%), hypothyroidism (65%), anemia (61.6%), nausea/vomiting (60%), stomatitis (58.3%), diarrhoea (48.3%), neutropenia (48.3%), thrombocytopenia (46.7%), leukopenia (46.7%), hypertriglyceridemia (45%), hyperglycaemia (38.4%), hypercholesterolemia (35%), and hand-foot syndrome (35%). Treatment was discontinued and sunitinib dose was reduced due to AE in 28.3% and 61.7% of pts, respectively. The G/A-variant in CYP3A5*3 was associated with thrombocytopenia (any grade, p=0.03); homozygous C/C alleles in ABCB1 1236C>T significantly correlated with leukopenia (any grade, p=0.01), while the C/C genotype in ABCB1 3435C>T was associated with hypertension (grade≥3, p=0.05); hypertriglyceridemia showed a trend towards increased prevalence in the presence of the C allele (grade≥3, p=0.08). Conclusions: Polymorphisms in ABCB1 and CYP3A5*3 are predictive of toxicity, as hypertension, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia in pts with mRCC treated with sunitinib. This analysis could support the selection of the more appropriate drug to the individual patient.

Abstract
Persistent androgen signaling is functionally significant in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and it is actually considered a validated therapeutic target. Residual intra-tumoral androgens compensate for the effects of androgen ablation, activating the androgen receptor (AR), AR-mediated gene expression and driving CRPC. The intra-tumoral biosynthesis of androgens takes place in different ways and cytochrome P450 17A1 (CYP17A1) has a crucial role in this context. Abiraterone, a CYP17A1 inhibitor, has shown impressive results in pre- and post-chemotherapy settings, prolonging the survival of patients with CRPC. However, not all patients respond to the treatment and most responders develop resistance, with a widely variable duration of response. Although many hypotheses are emerging, the mechanisms of resistance to abiraterone treatment have not yet been elucidated. The aim of the present review is to describe the main data currently available on resistance to abiraterone.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death around the world; the addition of chemotherapy to treatment of this disease has been shown to significantly increase progression-free survival and overall survival. Despite newer chemotherapies, it is important to personalize the care (treatment and dose) upon each single patient's susceptibility for controlling and reducing adverse side-effects, at best. The present review describes the current status of pharmacogenomics studies regarding germline DNA variants that may alter response and tolerability to chemotherapeutic agents used to treat lung cancer, including perspective studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The occurrence of radiological mediastinal lymphadenopathy as the only evidence of tumor recurrence of cervical carcinoma is very rare. We report on such a case with stenosis of the esophagus. CASE REPORT A 36-year-old Caucasian woman, without any relevant history of gynecological cancer, underwent a trans-vaginal ultrasound with evidence of any cervical lesion locally extended. After histologically-proven diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix uterine, the patient was treated by neoadjuvant chemoradiation, followed by total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophorectomy. A subsequent close follow-up was negative for recurrence of disease until December 2008, two years after diagnosis. At that period, the patient experienced cough and severe dysphagia and for this reason she underwent several examinations including esophagogastroduodenoscopy, whole-body computed tomographic scan and bronchoscopy with transbronchial needle aspiration. Histology led to diagnosis of recurrence of cervical cancer, HPV31-positive, in multiple mediastinal lymphnodes, with infiltration of the esophageal mucosa. CONCLUSION Mediastinal lymphade-nopathy in patients with a history of cervical carcinoma should be suspicious of metastatic disease, even if there is no radiological evidence of distant metastases.

Abstract
Genetic factors could alter drug metabolism and activity and could predict drug toxicity and/or efficacy. Several chemotherapy agents are administered in different schedules for the treatment of different cancer histotypes. The most used drug in the treatment of gastro-intestinal, head and neck and breast neoplasms is the 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Capecitabine is a prodrug of 5-FU. Cisplatin based chemotherapy is administered in the treatment of lung, genitourinary tract, head and neck, occult neoplasms, mesothelioma and melanoma. Taxanes are used in lung, breast, head and neck, genitourinary tract neoplasms and sarcomas. Determination of polymorphisms in metabolizing enzymes before the administration of chemotherapy could offer new strategies for optimizing the treatment of individual patients.

Abstract
Continent urinary diversions are most often performed in the patients who underwent cystectomy for malignancy, typically an invasive bladder carcinoma. There is no ideal surgical technique suitable to every case to reconstruct the lower urinary tract because many factors affect patients selection--e.g., tumor stage, patient's age and overall condition, and so on. Since radiologists play an important role in following up these patients, they must be familiar with postoperative anatomy to detect complications promptly. From 1985 to 1991, forty-two patients underwent radical cystectomy and urinary diversion; four different kinds of diversion were performed: ureterocutaneostomy, ureteroileocutaneostomy, ureterosigmoidostomy and total bladder replacement with ileal or ileocecal segments. The patients were examined with CT six months after surgery and then every year. The usual postoperative CT findings are reported. In the patients who underwent radical cystectomy, a loop of sigmoid colon fills the space left empty by surgery; less frequently, a loop of ileum or of both ileum and sigmoid colon occupies the bladder fossa. The CT findings in the four different kinds of diversion were different enough to be easily distinguished: ureters joined to skin, to an ileal loop or to sigmoid colon are found in ureterocutaneostomy, ureteroileocutaneostomy and ureterosigmoidostomy, respectively. Also the two examined kinds of neobladder (Lebag and "Padovana" techniques) exhibited different volumes and shapes. The anastomosis between ureters and intestinal segment could not be identified in all cases. Nonetheless, CT is the imaging method of choice after cystectomy, as it allows the thorough evaluation of the genitourinary apparatus.
