605 Background: Patients with stage I testicular cancer (TCa) have excellent survival, and surveillance after orchiectomy is often preferred. Limited data exist on survivorship outcomes of surveillance versus adjuvant therapy. We compared systemic health outcomes between patients managed with surveillance and those treated with upfront therapy. Methods: Claims data from the OptumLabs Data Warehouse (2007–2022) identified stage I TCa patients managed with surveillance, chemotherapy, or radiation. Adjuvant therapy was defined as chemotherapy or radiation within 4 months of diagnosis with no further therapy. Chemotherapy codes were required within 42 days to ensure multiple cycles were not given. Propensity score–matched cohorts were created using logistic regression. A 3-year analysis evaluated new diagnoses of cardiopulmonary complications, metabolic syndrome, men’s health, psychological, and miscellaneous systemic conditions. Outcomes were stratified by treatment group. Chi-square tests and Cox regression analyses compared survivorship outcomes between adjuvant therapy and surveillance. Results: Eight-hundred forty-two patients had 3 years of coverage: 531 surveillance, 159 chemotherapy, and 152 radiation. No significant differences were found in cardiopulmonary, metabolic, psychological, or other systemic outcomes between therapy and surveillance (Table 1). Men’s health diagnoses were more frequent with chemotherapy (35.2% vs 23.9%, p=0.027) compared to surveillance. However, Cox regression showed no significant time-to-event differences on time-to-event analysis between groups. Conclusions: Adjuvant chemotherapy may be associated with higher rates of men’s health complications (infertility, erectile dysfunction, hypogonadism), but over time the risk is not significantly different than surveillance.

Objectives To compare survival and oncological outcomes of cisplatin‐ineligible patients (Cis‐I) and cisplatin‐eligible (Cis‐E) patients with muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) undergoing immediate radical cystectomy (IRC), as IRC is currently considered the standard‐of‐care for Cis‐I patients with MIBC. Patients and Methods Data from patients with clinical (c)T2–4cN0–1M0 MIBC undergoing IRC, between 2006 and 2021, were retrospectively analysed from four tertiary care centres in the United States. Overall, recurrence‐free and event‐free survival were described using the Kaplan–Meier method and tested using the log‐rank test. For context, we compared survival outcomes against those in Cis‐E patients with MIBC undergoing IRC from the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG)‐8710 trial. Results Overall, 379 Cis‐I and 125 Cis‐E patients with cT2–4cN0–1M0 MIBC who underwent IRC were included. Cis‐I patients included 44.8% cT3/4 vs 60% cT3/4 in the Cis‐E group. Overall, 83.3% of Cis‐I and 79.2% of Cis‐E patients died during follow‐up. The median event‐free and overall survival were 12.1 and 14.5 months for the Cis‐I group and 28.8 and 60.1 months for the Cis‐E group ( P < 0.001). [Correction added on 10 October 2025, after first online publication: The preceding sentence has been revised in this version.] Limitations include retrospective comparison of contemporary multi‐institutional data with that of a randomised control trial. Conclusions The Cis‐I patients with MIBC undergoing IRC fared poorly, with a median overall survival of 14.5 (95% confidence interval 11.1–17.9) months, mostly due to non‐cancer‐related deaths. These results provide a benchmark for clinical trials exploring novel agents or alternative chemotherapy regimens in Cis‐I patients with MIBC.

716 Background: Nadofaragene firadenovec is an FDA-approved gene therapy for Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with promising clinical trial results. However, real-world post-marketing efficacy or safety data remain lacking. We evaluated complete response rates and safety in a multisite experience. Methods: Per IRB protocol, we analyzed patients treated with nadofaragene firadenovec for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC across three Mayo Clinic sites. Outcomes included complete response (CR), high-grade recurrence-free survival (HGRFS), cystectomy-free survival (CFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs). CR and HGRFS were reported for patients with carcinoma in situ (CIS) and patients with Ta/T1 without CIS respectively. Failure to retain was defined as any medication loss, including leakage around the catheter or early voiding. Results: Between November 2023 and October 2024, 45 patients were treated with nadofaragene firadenovec for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC. Fifteen patients with follow-up less than 6 months and one patient with extensive metastatic disease identified one week after first instillation were excluded from efficacy analysis. Our efficacy-evaluable population of 29 patients with median follow-up of 8.2 months is summarized in the Table. CR/HGRFS at 3 and 6 months was 72% and 62% respectively. CFS was 94% and OS was 100% at 6 months. Three patients experienced disease progression during follow-up: one to T1, another to T2, and a third with metastases to the abdomen and lungs. A separate patient developed a metachronous upper tract urothelial carcinoma (pT2) without bladder recurrence. Bladder spasms (62%) and failure to retain (31%) were the most common AEs. Most AEs were low-grade, although four (9%) patients had grade 3 events (fatigue, fever, and dizziness). No grade 4-5 AEs were reported. Conclusions: Early real-world data demonstrates encouraging clinical complete response rates in patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC and a favorable safety profile.

Background The American Urological Association (AUA)/Society of Urology Oncology (SUO) guidelines recommend a repeat transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) for high-risk, non-invasive (HR Ta) nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients. The evidence base for this recommendation is weak (grade C) and fraught with methodological shortcomings, such as the lack of adjuvant intravesical Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) and single-center study designs. Objective We sought to evaluate the effect of repeat TURBT on recurrence-free survival at a population level in HR Ta NMIBC patients who completed BCG induction therapy. Methods High-grade Ta NMIBC patients who underwent TURBT for a ≥5 cm tumor were identified within the SEER-Medicare database. All patients completed induction BCG and were stratified into two groups: repeat TURBT within eight weeks of initial TURBT and a group without repeat TURBT (control group). The primary endpoint was the 3-year high-risk recurrence rate. Results A cohort of 604 patients was identified, with 93 (15.4%) undergoing a repeat TURBT within eight weeks of initial TURBT and 511 (84.6%) without a repeat TURBT. Patient demographic and clinical characteristics were similar overall. No significant difference in the 3-year recurrence rate was noted (repeat TURBT: 20.4% vs. control group: 15.7%, p = 0.25). After adjusting for demographic and clinical characteristics, no association between repeat TURBT and 3-year high-risk recurrence was observed (HR (95% CI): 1.27 (0.76, 2.11); p = 0.36). Conclusion Although our study contains several major limitations, our results suggest that repeat TURBT in large volume HG Ta NMIBC treated with induction BCG therapy was not associated with improved high-risk recurrence-free survival.

376 Background: Germline genetic testing (GGT) is becoming increasingly important in the management of genitourinary (GU) malignancies as novel targeted drug therapies emerge. Selection for genetic studies and testing has historically been highly selective and based on pathologic characteristics, family history, and age of diagnosis. The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of pathogenic variants (PGVs) in inherited cancer susceptibility genes utilizing a universal testing approach and to characterize the rate of PGVs that would have been missed based on current NCCN guidelines. Methods: A multisite single-institutional prospective study (INTERCEPT) offered GGT to all patients with new or active diagnoses of GU malignancies (bladder, prostate, and renal cancers) from April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2020 at Mayo Clinic Arizona, Mayo Clinic Florida and Mayo Clinic Rochester. Participants were offered GGT with a panel of >80 genes through Invitae Corp. Demographic, tumor characteristics and genetic results were evaluated. PGVs were classified as high-, intermediate-, or low- penetrance variants based on published literature. Respective NCCN GU GGT guidelines were used to determine if the PGVs discovered using our universal testing approach would have been missed with guideline-directed GGT. Results: A total of 3095 pan-cancer patients were enrolled in the study; 601 of which had a GU malignancy including: prostate cancer (358 patients), renal cancer (137), and bladder cancer (106). The mean age of enrollment was 66.8 years (SD 9.1), 89% were male, and 85.9% of patients were Non-Hispanic white. PGVs were identified in 82 of all GU patients (13.6%) and variants of undetermined significance (VUS) in 289 (48.1%) patients. PGV prevalence breakdown by cancer type was: 13.7% of prostate, 13.1% renal, and 14.2% bladder cancer patients. The proportion of high penetrance PGVs varied by malignancy type. Of all patients, 326 (54.2%) had advanced (stage III/IV) disease and 377 (64.4%) of these were metastatic upon initial evaluation. The majority of all PGVs identified were incremental, defined as PGVs that would not have been identified based on guideline-concordant GGT: 100% (15/15 patients) with bladder, 77.8% (14/18) with renal, and 57.1% (28/49) with prostate cancer. Conclusions: Universal GGT for prostate, renal and bladder cancer revealed that over 1 in 10 patients harbored potentially actionable PGVs, most of which would not have been identified with guidelines-based GGT. Utilization of GGT can impact our understanding of GU cancer pathogenesis, aid in familial cascade testing, and influence treatment decisions.

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the impact of prior prostate radiation therapy (RT) on the Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy response in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that the damaging radiation effects on the bladder could negatively influence BCG efficacy. METHODS: Men with a history of high-risk NMIBC were identified within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results–Medicare database. All patients completed adequate BCG defined as at least 5 plus 2 treatments completed within 12 months. Patients were stratified into 2 groups: with prior RT for prostate cancer and without prior RT before the diagnosis of NMIBC. The primary endpoint was a 5-year composite for progression defined as disease progression requiring systemic chemotherapy, checkpoint inhibitors, radical or partial cystectomy, or cancer-specific death. RESULTS: We identified 3,466 patients with NMIBC, including 145 with prior RT for prostate cancer. Five-year progression occurred in 471 patients (13.6%). Patients with prior RT were older than patients without prior RT (77.0 vs 75.0 years; P < .001). The distribution of T stage was significantly different at diagnosis between the RT and non-RT groups (RT: Ta, 44.8%; Tis, 18.6%; T1, 36.6%; without RT: Ta, 40.9%; Tis, 10.8%; T1, 48.3%; P = .002). No difference in the risk of total progression was observed between patients with and without prior RT ( P = .67). Similarly, no difference was observed after multivariable adjustment (hazard ratio, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.61-1.58; P = .95). CONCLUSION: For patients with NMIBC who undergo adequate BCG treatment, prior RT for prostate cancer was not associated with worse 5-year progression-free survival.
