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.
In current urological practice, clinicians decide whether to place a ureteral stent or nephrostomy, but evidence-based treatment guidance is needed.
Seminal vesicle-sparing radical cystectomy improved functional results over a median of 64 months without compromising oncologic outcomes, according to investigators.
Low adherence to post-radical cystectomy surveillance guidelines may increase patients’ mortality risk, study findings suggest.
Study findings support surveillance for urethral recurrence after radical cystectomy.
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.
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.
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…
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%.
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.
