- AR-V7 biomarker could guide treatment with either taxanes or enzalutamide/abiraterone in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients.
- Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio linked to mRCC outcomes, as patients with an elevated ratio at baseline had inferior outcomes compared to those with a low ratio.
