Study: Routine Surveillance Crucial After Radical Cystectomy
Low adherence to post-radical cystectomy surveillance guidelines may increase patients’ mortality risk, study findings suggest.
Radical Cystectomy
Study ID’s Risk Factors for Urethral Recurrence After Radical Cystectomy
Study findings support surveillance for urethral recurrence after radical cystectomy.
Study: Robotic, Open Radical Cystectomy Similarly Effective
Robot-assisted and open radical cystectomy are associated with similar 90-day complication rates, health-related quality of life, and clinical outcomes, according to a recent real-world study.
Bladder Cancer Surgery Safe Following Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy
Toxicity profile and readmission rates among patients who underwent radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection following neoadjuvant pembrolizumab are in line with previously published series reporting 90-day outcomes after RC with or without neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Radical Cystectomy Approaches Offer Similar Long-Term Oncologic Outcomes
Laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, and open radical cystectomy are associated with similar long-term oncologic outcomes among patients with muscle-invasive or high-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer, according to findings from the CORAL study, the only randomized trial comparing the 3 surgical approaches. In the study, investigators randomly assigned patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC, 38 patients) or high-risk non-muscle…
Radical Cystectomy Outcomes Improving, Study Finds
A study at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center found that the 5-year probability of dying from bladder cancer following radical cystectomy dropped from 35% to 25%.
Urologic Cancer Surgery Readmission Rate Highest for RC
In a study, nearly 20% of radical cystectomy patients were readmitted for complications within 90 days compared with 1.9% and 5.9% for radical prostatectomy and radical nephrectomy, respectively.
Infection Occurs in One Fourth of Radical Cystectomy Patients
Patients who underwent a radical cystectomy (RC) developed postoperative infection after a median of 13 days.
