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.
Radical Cystectomy
Relapse of pT0 Bladder Cancer Possible After Radical Cystectomy
Patients with a pT0 tumor at the time of radical cystectomy are still at risk of recurrence and progression and should not be considered cured.
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.
Robotic-Assisted Radical Cystectomy Safe, Feasible for Octogenarians
The benefits of robotic surgery may have a more pronounced effect in octogenarians, 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.
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.
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.
