    Abstract: 473 Background: Even today, when several immune checkpoint Inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC), cytotoxic chemotherapy (CTC) still remains the mainstay for first-line treatment. We believe that the prognostic factors for the first-line CTC have become more important again and need to be re-analyzed. Current guidelines do not yet provide recommendations for any serum tumor markers in patients with mUC. Previous studies have shown that serum cytokeratin 19 fragments levels (sCK) were correlated with depth of tumor invasion and metastatic burden in patients with bladder cancer. In this study we evaluated whether sCK, and other clinical parameters could predict overall survival (OS) in patients with mUC treated with CTC. Methods: Two hundreds fifty two patients with mUC received CTC from December 2006 to 2016 at our institution. sCK had been measured in 128 patients at diagnosis of mUC. OS rate were analyzed by Kaplan–Meier curves and log–rank test. Multivariate analysis was carried out using the Cox hazards model. Tumor burden (TB) was measured based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumor (version 1.1). Results: Of 128 patients, with median age of 72 (44-93), 36 (28%) had lung metastasis, 11 (9%) had bone metastasis, 10 (8%) had liver metastasis (LM). Ninety five (74%) patients received platinum based chemotherapy as a first-line treatment. During the median follow-up period of 19 (1-89) months, 72 patients (70%) had died. A 1-year (1y) OS was 51% and a 2y-OS was 36%. On univariate analysis, performance status (PS) (HR2.0, p 〈 0.005), sCK (HR3.9, p 〈 0.001), CRP (HR4.0, p 〈 0.001), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (HR1.9, p 〈 0.049), LM (HR2.0, p=0.042) and TB (HR2.4, p 〈 0.001) were the significant prognostic factors for OS. On multivariate analysis, PS (HR2.0, 95%CI (1.05-3.85) p=0.036 ), sCK (HR3.1, 95%CI (1.3-8.3), p=0.011), and LM (HR3.0, 95%CI (1.06-6.98), p=0.022) were the independent prognostic factors for OS. Based on these 3 factors we divided patients into three groups, good risk (G, 0 factor), intermediate risk (I, 1 factor) and poor risk (P, 2-3 factors). There was a significant difference between the three groups. (G vs I: p 〈 0.001, I vs P: p=0.001). Conclusions: PS, sCK, and LM were the independent prognostic factors for OS in patients with mUC receiving CTC. For the patients in good or intermediate risk with this score, early exposure of ICIs should be performed after CTCs. Treatment strategy should be changed in patients with poor risk since CTC is primary refractory in such population.

    Abstract: Accurate prostate cancer screening is imperative for reducing the risk of cancer death. Ultrasound imaging, although easy, tends to have low resolution and high inter-observer variability. Here, we show that our integrated machine learning approach enabled the detection of pathological high-grade cancer by the ultrasound procedure. Our study included 772 consecutive patients and 2899 prostate ultrasound images obtained at the Nippon Medical School Hospital. We applied machine learning analyses using ultrasound imaging data and clinical data to detect high-grade prostate cancer. The area under the curve (AUC) using clinical data was 0.691. On the other hand, the AUC when using clinical data and ultrasound imaging data was 0.835 ( p  = 0.007). Our data-driven ultrasound approach offers an efficient tool to triage patients with high-grade prostate cancers and expands the possibility of ultrasound imaging for the prostate cancer detection pathway.

    Abstract: 453 Background: The VI-RADS has been widely used as diagnostic criteria for MRI to predict muscle-invasive of bladder cancer (MIBC). The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of VI-RADS in our hospital and the clinicopathological features of true positive (TP), false positive (FP), true negative (TN), and false negative (FN) cases to identify possible factors for misdiagnosis. Methods: Of the 286 patients who underwent TURBT at our hospital from January 2019 to October 2020, we selected 129 consecutive cases who had performed preoperative enhanced mpMRI and diagnosed as urothelial carcinoma pathologically. We defined VI-RADS score ≥4 as positive for MIBC. The clinicopathological features of TP, FP, TN, and FN groups were retrospectively analyzed and compared. Chi-square test and Mann–Whitney U test were used for the test between the two groups. Results: VI-RADS score in MIBC cases were 2 cases for ≤3 and 22 for ≥4, and in non-MIBC cases 91 cases for ≤3 and 14 for ≥4. The diagnostic performance of VI-RADS for MIBC was 92% for sensitivity, 87% for specificity, 61% for positive predictive value, 98% for negative predictive value, 88% for accuracy and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.89. There were no statistical differences of age and %male cases between TP (22 cases), FP (14), TN (91) and FN (2) groups. Pathological features of the (TP, FP, TN, FN) groups were shown (table). TP had significantly larger tumor size than the other three groups, and higher %G3, %tumor necrosis and %variant+ than FP and TN. FP group had significantly larger tumor size than the TN. Conclusions: VI-RADS showed high diagnostic performance in predicting MIBC. Our study showed that larger tumor size was a significant factor for overestimation, suggesting the need for improved accuracy in cases with large tumor size.[Table: see text]

    Abstract: 212 Background: This was a prospective study to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the Sonazoid-enhanced ultrasound (SEU) for prostate cancer. The primary end-point was accuracy of SEU to detect prostate cancer. The exploratory end-point was to analyze the prognostic significance of SEU positibity after radical prostatectomy (RP) in patients diagnosed as prostate cancer. Methods: In all cases locations of suspected prostate cancer were examined with SEU, digital rectal examination (DRE), B-mode (B), and power-doppler ultrasound (PDU) before prostate biopsy. We compared the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy of SEU, RE, B, and PD. Among prostate cancer cases, effect of SEU positivity on biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy was compared with that of DRE, B, and PDU. Results: Of 687 cases 416 cases (60.6%) were prostate cancer. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy were 52.9%, 63.5%, 69.0%, 46.7%, and 57.1% by DRE, 69.2%, 43.9%, 65.5%, 48.2%, and 59.2% by B, 66.6%, 59.0%, 71.4%, 53.5%, and 63.6% by PDU, and 66.1%, 70.1%, 77.2%, 57.4%, and 67.7% by SEU, respectively. SEU was the highest in specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy rate. Eighty three patients underwent radical prostatectomy. The SEU + group (69.3%) had a significantly poor prognosis compared to the SEU− group (88.7%) on the five-year BCR-free survival rate (p 〈 0.05). Univariate analysis showed SEU+ (HR 3.5; p = 0.02), DRE+ (HR 2.7; p = 0.04), PDU+ (HR2.6; p = 0.09), and B+ (HR 2.0; p = 0.21). SEU was the highest prognostic factor on BCR after radical prostatectomy. Conclusions: Sonazoid was able to visualize even small blood vessels in the prostate. SEU showed the highest accuracy for cancer detection and was the highest prognostic factor on BCR in the univariate analysis. To obtain the maximum benefit of Sonazoid, further examinations are needed.

    Abstract: We report a rare case of marked rectal stenosis due to Douglas' pouch metastasis of renal pelvic urothelial carcinoma successfully treated with enfortumab vedotin. Case presentation A 77‐year‐old female presented with difficulty in defecation and abdominal distension. She had received two courses of cisplatin plus gemcitabine followed by four courses of maintenance avelumab for postoperative lymph node metastasis of renal pelvic urothelial carcinoma. KL‐6 levels were elevated, and a computed tomography scan revealed an irregularly shaped large mass occupying Douglas' pouch, with marked rectal stenosis. Metastatic urothelial carcinoma was pathologically diagnosed, and enfortumab vedotin was initiated after colostomy. After 12 courses of enfortumab vedotin, metastatic lesions showed marked shrinkage and KL‐6 levels decreased. Conclusion Enfortumab vedotin elicited a remarkable response in treating rectal stenosis due to metastasis of renal pelvic urothelial carcinoma in Douglas' pouch. Furthermore, serum KL‐6 levels were correlated with the severity of metastatic urothelial carcinoma.

    Abstract: 555 Background: Recent clinical trials such as Keynote-045, EV-201 and Javelin bladder100 have provided new therapeutic agents for metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). However, the only tool that can evaluate the therapeutic responses is a radiological criteria, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) in mUC. In the clinical practice, biomarkers that can predict the efficacy and prognosis of various agents are essential to treat these patients, and the search for such biomarkers is urgently needed. We reported that Performance status ≥ 1, liver metastasis and elevated serum cytokeratin 19 fragments (sCYFRA) are the prognostic factors for first-line cytotoxic cheomotherapy (CTC) for mUC. In this study we evaluated pretreated clinical biomarkers including sCYFRA that can predict overall survival (OS) in patients with mUC treated with immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Methods: Thirty four patients with mUC received pembrolizuab (PB) from February 2018 to July 2020 at our institution. We retrospectively collected performance status, metastasis site, blood neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), hemoglobin (Hb), and serum levels of lactose dehydrogenase (LD), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), C-reacted protein (CRP), total protein, albumin, corrected calcium (Ca), carbohydrate antigen19-9, sCYFRA before PB was administered. OS rate were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test. Multivariate analysis was carried out using the Cox hazards model. Objective Response rate (ORR) was evaluated based on RECIST (version 1.1). Results: Of 34 patients (Pts), with median age of 73(31-86), during the median follow-up period of 25 (7-126) months, 21patients (65%) had died. Median OS was 9.2 months (0.2-33.4), A 1-year OS rate was 33%. ORR was 33% and 9 Pts was SD (27%) and 14 pts (40%) was progressive disease. On univariate analysis, bone metastasis (p=0.028), LD (p=0.003), ALP (p=0.001), Ca (p=0.003) and sCYFRA (p=0.001) were the significant prognostic factor for OS. On multivariate analysis, ALP (HR9.2, 95%CI [2.89-135.9] , p=0.002), Ca (HR7.3, (95%CI [2.36-22.49], p=0.001), sCYFRA (HR 5.0, 95%CI [1.63-15.55] , p=0.005) were the significant prognostic factor for OS. Based on these 3 factors we divided pts into three groups, good risk (G1,0 factor), intermediate risk (G2, 1 factor) and poor risk (G3, 2-3 factors)3. There was a significant difference between the three groups for OS on K-M curve (G1 vs G2, p=0.001, G2vs G3, p=0.009). Conclusions: sCYFRA, ALP and Ca were the independent prognostic factors for OS in patients with mUC treated with ICI. sCYFRA was the independent prognostic factor for OS in the 1st line CTC and 2nd line ICI and it can be a prognostic factor though those therapies.

    Abstract: 452 Background: With the results of the Javelin bladder 100 trial, PCT followed by ICI has become the standard of care for pts with mUC. While more than half of the pts have progressive disease (PD) by the 4th cycle of PCT, in general, most these pts will receive ICI after 4th cycle of PCT. However, for pts who have PD before 4 cycles, additional PCT will not only be effective, but will also cause side effects and worsen immune environment. However, the outcome of early switching to ICI during 1st-line PCT has not been reported. Here, we investigated whether early switching to Pe may improve prognosis. We also examined the usefulness of serum CYFRA (sCY) as a prognostic marker of 2nd-line Pe in this study. Methods: Seventy pts with mUC received PCT followed by Pe from February 2018 to July 2022 at our institution. Among them 56 pts who had received PCT 3 cycles or less because of PD or unacceptable side effects were included in this study. During PCT, computed tomography (CT) was performed at the end of each cycle and PCT was continued until PD. If PD on CT was confirmed, 2nd-line Pe was initiated. Performance status, metastasis site, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, hemoglobin, and serum alkaline phosphatase, C-reactive protein, total protein, albumin, corrected calcium (Ca) and sCY before Pe were examined as possible prognostic factors for overall survival (OS). OS was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test. Multivariate analysis on prognostic factors was carried out using the Cox hazards model. Results: Median age was 73 (31-86). Twenty-seven pts (49%) received gemcitabine-cisplatin and 29 (51%) received gemcitabine-carboplatin for PCT. Twelve pts (21%) received 1 cycle of PCT, 2 cycles in 26 (46%) and 3 cycles in 18 (32%). During the median follow-up period of 14.6 (6.2-44.6) months (M), 30 pts (53.5%) had died. The median OS was 15.5M and the 1-year OS rate was 60%. The median PFS was 10.2M and the 1-year PFS rate was 46%. Objective response rate was 25% and 18 pts showed stable disease (32%) and 24 pts (43%) showed PD. On univariate analysis, sCY (p=0.001) and Ca (p=0.003) were the significant factors for OS. On multivariate analysis, sCY (HR 3.2, 95%CI [1.33-7.82], p=0.009) and Ca (HR2.3, (95%CI [1.02-5.22] , p=0.046) were the significant factors for OS. Conclusions: Early switching to Pe during 1st-line PCT resulted in PFS of 10.2M and OS of 15.5M, which were longer than those of the KEYNOTE-045 trial (PFS 2M, OS 10M). Early introduction of Pe may be effective in the pts with mUC who are resistant to chemotherapy. sCY and Ca were suggested to be the useful prognostic factors for OS.

    Abstract: Active surveillance (AS) is one of the treatment methods for patients with small renal masses (SRMs; 〈  4 cm), including renal cell carcinomas (RCCs). However, some small RCCs may exhibit aggressive neoplastic behaviors and metastasize. Little is known about imaging biomarkers capable of identifying potentially aggressive small RCCs. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) often detects collateral vessels arising from neoplastic angiogenesis in RCCs. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between SRM differential diagnoses and prognoses, and the detection of collateral vessels using CECT. Methods A total of 130 consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed non-metastatic SRMs (fat-poor angiomyolipomas [fpAMLs; n  = 7] and RCCs [ n  = 123]) were retrospectively enrolled. Between 2011 and 2019, SRM diagnoses in these patients were confirmed after biopsy or surgical resection. All RCCs were surgically resected. Regardless of diameter, a collateral vessel (CV) was defined as any blood vessel connecting the tumor from around the kidney using CECT. First, we analyzed the role of CV-detection in differentiating between fpAML and RCC. Then, we evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy of RCC diagnosis based on CV-detection using CECT. We also assessed the prognostic value of CV-detection using the Fisher exact test, and Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. Results The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy of CV-detection for the diagnosis of small RCCs was 48.5, 45.5, 100, 100, and 9.5% respectively. Five of 123 (4.1%) patients with RCC experienced recurrence. CV-detection using CECT was the only significant factor associated with recurrence ( p  = 0.0177). Recurrence-free survival (RFS) was significantly lower in patients with CV compared with in those without CV (5-year RFS 92.4% versus 100%, respectively; p  = 0.005). In addition, critical review of the CT images revealed the CVs to be continuous with the venous vessels around the kidney. Conclusions The detection of CVs using CECT is useful for differentiating between small fpAMLs and RCCs. CV-detection may also be applied as a predictive parameter for small RCCs prone to recurrence after surgical resection. Moreover, AS could be suitable for small RCCs without CVs.

    Abstract: 709 Background: LDH isozyme is a tetramer of two subunits, H chain and M chain, and is present in all living tissue. Five types of molecular forms characterize the LDH pattern, and tumor tissues relatively consist LDH-4 and LDH-5, composed with a high ratio of the M chain, compared to normal tissues. This study analyzed the association between LDH isozyme and prognosis of mCRCC after nephrectomy. Methods: Clinical records of mCRCC patients those who were initially diagnosed M0 disease at Nippon Medical School between 2012 and 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. LDH isozyme values before operation and at time of metastasis were checked. Isozyme patterns were classified into 6 types, LDH 1-5 dominant and common type, according to the most composed molecular form. Results: Out of 38 patients, 33 patients (87%) were male, 5 patients (13%) were female. Median age was 65 years old (36-87). pT1 was seen in 3 cases, pT2 in 4, pT3 in 27, and pT4 in 4. Pathological grade 2 were 9 cases, G3 in 21, and G4 in 8. As for the IMDC risk, favourable was 2 cases (5%), intermediate in 26 (68%) and poor in 10 (26%). Median LDH was 163 IU/L (113-317), and isozyme dominant pattern were as follows: LDH-2 in 9 cases (24%), LDH-3 in 6 (16%), LDH-4 in 4, LDH-5 in 11. 8 cases were common type, and no cases showed LDH-1 dominant. Median time from surgery to recurrence was 10 months (1-104), median follow-up period after recurrence was 18 months (4-72). 16 deaths occurred. No significant correlation was seen between pre-operative LDH isozyme pattern and pathological grade or pT stage. Pre-operative LDH isozyme did not correlate with the time to recurrence (p=0.7420). The median OS for LDH-4 dominant at the time of metastasis was 10.9 months, significantly shorter than other isozyme types (P=0.0134). Conclusions: LDH-4 dominant isozyme pattern at the time of recurrence has a short OS, proposing as a prognostic predictor in mRCC.
