Study: Cystectomy Complication Rate Not Improving
Researchers find no significant change in overall complication rate from 2010 to 2015, but hospital length of stay and need for transfusion have declined.
Cystectomy
Surgery, Combined Modality Offer Similar MIBC Outcomes
Meta-analysis reveals no significant difference in overall-, disease-specific, and progression-free survival between radical cystectomy and radiation-based, bladder preservation therapy.
MIBC Patients Should Be Followed Long-term After Cystectomy
After recurrent disease, 5-year overall survival was worse among patients with late recurrence.
Worse Survival After Robotic Cystectomy Seen at Low-Volume Centers
The researchers found lower overall survival among patients undergoing robot-assisted radical cystectomy at hospitals performing 10 or fewer procedures during 2010 to 2012.
Robot-assisted Radical Cystectomy on the Rise
By 2014 to 2015, 1 in 3 bladder cancer surgical procedures performed in the United States were robot-assisted.
Radical Cystectomy for Muscle-invasive UCB Offers Better Survival
Radical cystectomy is associated with better long-term overall survival than trimodal therapy, new study shows.
Pre-Cystectomy Chemo Does Not Up Survival in ‘Real World’ Setting
Finding contrasts with results of randomized clinical trials.
Bladder Surgery Complications Predicted by New Model
Nomograms specific to radical cystectomy currently do not exist to aid stratification of a patient’s risks for complications.
Significant Prostate Cancer Found in Advanced Bladder Cancer Patients
In a study, 53.1% of patients had concomitant prostate cancer in radical cystectomy specimens.
Tumor Features Predict Post-Cystectomy Recurrence
Predictors of distant recurrences after robot-assisted radical cystectomy were mainly dictated by pathological tumor characteristics.
