Bladder Cancer Progression Despite BCG Therapy Predicts Worse Outcomes
Progression on bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) likely represents a biologically aggressive disease state as well as diagnostic delay, according to investigators.
Cystectomy
CKD Associated With Worse Radical Cystectomy Outcomes
Investigators report increased risks for adverse pathology and 90-day readmission.
Partial, Radical Cystectomy for MIBC Yield Similar Survival Outcomes
In addition to similar rates of overall survival, patients undergoing partial and radical cystectomy had comparable rates of upstaging to pT3-4 disease.
Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Underused for MIBC in Older Adults
Older age independently predicted significant 48% lower odds of the gold standard treatment of NAC and radical cystectomy.
Survival Odds Similar After Open, Robotic-Assisted Radical Cystectomy
Researchers in The Netherlands compared the surgical approaches in patients with muscle-invasive or high-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Adjuvant Nivolumab Improves Outcomes in High-Risk Urothelial Carcinoma
Nivolumab treatment for patients who have undergone radical surgery for high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma improves their disease-free survival compared with placebo, a study shows.
Complete TURBT Before Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Improves MIBC Outcomes
Complete transurethral resection of bladder tumor prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients scheduled to undergo radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder is associated with improved overall and cancer-specific survival, a study found.
Prophylactic Ureteral Stenting Linked to Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma
In current urological practice, clinicians decide whether to place a ureteral stent or nephrostomy, but evidence-based treatment guidance is needed.
Seminal Vesicle-Sparing in Radical Cystectomy Shown to Improve Outcomes
Seminal vesicle-sparing radical cystectomy improved functional results over a median of 64 months without compromising oncologic outcomes, according to investigators.
Study: Routine Surveillance Crucial After Radical Cystectomy
Low adherence to post-radical cystectomy surveillance guidelines may increase patients’ mortality risk, study findings suggest.
