More Extensive Lymph Node Dissection Beneficial in NMIBC
Investigators proposed that lymph node dissection should be included as part of radical cystectomy for patients with NMIBC.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Nutrition Tool May Identify Older Adults at Risk for Post-RC Complications
There is a need for an easy and objective tool to assess malnutrition prior to urologic surgery.
Predictors, Outcomes of Bladder Cancer Upstaging Described
Age, lymphovascular invasion, and histology predicted pathologic upstaging among patients with nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer, a study found.
Radical Cystectomy Found Not to Substantially Diminish Quality of Life
Study findings support radical cystectomy as the gold standard therapy for high-risk bladder cancer.
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.
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.
