Abstract
Bladder cancer is primarily diagnosed as non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), with high recurrence and progression rates. Environmental and occupational exposures to carcinogens are well-known risk factors for developing bladder cancer, yet their effects on prognosis remain unknown. In the Be-Well Study, a population-based prospective cohort study of 1472 Kaiser Permanente patients newly diagnosed with NMIBC in California from 2015 to 2019, we examined history of environmental and occupational exposures in relation to tumor stage and grade at initial diagnosis by multivariable logistic regression, and subsequent recurrence and progression by Cox proportional hazards regression. Exposure to environmental and occupational carcinogens was significantly associated with increased risk of progression (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.79; 95% CI, 1.04-3.09), specifically with increased progression to muscle-invasive disease (HR = 2.28; 95% CI, 1.16-4.50). Exposures to asbestos and arsenic were associated with increased odds of advanced stage at diagnosis (asbestos: odds ratio (OR) = 1.43 [95% CI, 1.11-1.84]; arsenic: OR = 1.27 [95% CI, 1.01-1.63]), and formaldehyde exposure was associated with increased risk of recurrence (HR = 1.38; 95% CI, 1.12-1.69). Our findings suggest that considering a patient's history of these exposures may benefit current risk stratification systems in better tailoring clinical care and improving prognosis among patients with NMIBC.

Abstract
SCOPE Dietary isothiocyanate (ITC) exposure from cruciferous vegetable (CV) intake may improve non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) prognosis. This study aims to investigate whether genetic variations in key ITC-metabolizing/functioning genes modify the associations between dietary ITC exposure and NMIBC prognosis outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS In the Bladder Cancer Epidemiology, Wellness, and Lifestyle Study (Be-Well Study), a prospective cohort of 1472 incident NMIBC patients, dietary ITC exposure is assessed by self-reported CV intake and measured in plasma ITC-albumin adducts. Using Cox proportional hazards regression models, stratified by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in nine key ITC-metabolizing/functioning genes, it is calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for recurrence and progression. The rs15561 in N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) is alter the association between CV intake and progression risk. Multiple SNPs in nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) are modify the associations between plasma ITC-albumin adduct level and progression risk (pint < 0.05). No significant association is observed with recurrence risk. Overall, >80% study participants are present with at least one protective genotype per gene, showing an average 65% reduction in progression risk with high dietary ITC exposure. CONCLUSION Despite that genetic variations in ITC-metabolizing/functioning genes may modify the effect of dietary ITCs on NMIBC prognosis, dietary recommendation of CV consumption may help improve NMIBC survivorship.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bladder cancer is a complex disease with a wide range of outcomes. Clinicopathological factors only partially explain the variability between patients in prognosis and treatment response. There is a need for large cohorts collecting extensive data and biological samples to: (1) investigate gene-environment interactions, pathological/molecular classification and biomarker discovery; and (2) describe treatment patterns, outcomes, resource use and quality of life in a real-world setting. PARTICIPANTS COBLAnCE (COhort to study BLAdder CancEr) is a French national prospective cohort of patients with bladder cancer recruited between 2012 and 2018 and followed for 6 years. Data on patient and tumour characteristics, treatments, outcomes and biological samples are collected at enrolment and during the follow-up. FINDINGS TO DATE We describe the cohort at enrolment according to baseline surgery and tumour type. In total, 1800 patients were included: 1114 patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and 76 patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) had transurethral resection of a bladder tumour without cystectomy, and 610 patients with NMIBC or MIBC underwent cystectomy. Most patients had a solitary lesion (56.3%) without basement membrane invasion (71.7% of Ta and/or Tis). Half of the patients with cystectomy were stage ≤T2 and 60% had non-continent diversion. Surgery included local (n=298) or super-extended lymph node dissections (n=11) and prostate removal (n=492). Among women, 16.5% underwent cystectomy and 81.4% anterior pelvectomy. FUTURE PLANS COBLAnCE will be used for long-term studies of bladder cancer with focus on clinicopathological factors and molecular markers. It will lead to a much-needed improvement in the understanding of the disease. The cohort provides valuable real-world data, enabling researchers to study various research questions, assess routine medical practices and guide medical decision-making.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BC) is the 6th most common cancer worldwide, with tobacco smoking considered as its main risk factor. Accumulating evidence has found associations between genetic variants and the risk of BC. Candidate gene-environment interaction studies have suggested interactions between cigarette smoking and NAT2/GSTM1 gene variants. Our objective was to perform a genome-wide association case-only study using the French national prospective COBLAnCE cohort (COhort to study BLAdder CancEr), focusing on smoking behavior. The COBLAnCE cohort comprises 1800 BC patients enrolled between 2012 and 2018. Peripheral blood samples collected at enrolment were genotyped using the Illumina Global Screening Array with a Multi-Disease drop-in panel. Genotyping data (9,719,614 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP)) of 1674, 1283, and 1342 patients were analyzed for smoking status, average tobacco consumption, and age at smoking initiation, respectively. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted adjusting for gender, age, and genetic principal components. The results suggest new candidate loci (4q22.1, 12p13.1, 16p13.3) interacting with smoking behavior for the risk of BC. Our results need to be validated in other case-control or cohort studies.

Am J Clin Nutr 2023; 117:1110-1120. [PMID: 37044209 PMCID: PMC10447500 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND High recurrence and progression rates are major clinical challenges for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Dietary isothiocyanates (ITCs), phytochemicals primarily from cruciferous vegetables (CV), show strong anticancer activities in preclinical BC models, yet their effect on NMIBC prognosis remains unknown. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the associations of dietary ITC exposure at diagnosis with NMIBC recurrence and progression. METHODS The study analyzed 1143 participants from the Be-Well study, a prospective cohort of newly diagnosed NMIBC cases in 2015-2019 with no prior history of BC. Dietary ITC exposure was indicated by self-reported CV intake, estimated ITC intake, urinary metabolites, and plasma ITC-albumin adducts. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for recurrence and progression, and unconditional logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs for delayed and multiple recurrence. RESULTS Over a mean follow-up of 25 mo, 347 (30%) developed recurrence and 77 (6.7%) had disease progression. Despite no significant associations with the overall risk of recurrence, urinary ITC metabolites (OR: 1.96; 95% CI: 1.01, 4.43) and dietary ITC intake (OR: 2.13; 95% CI: 1.03, 4.50) were associated with late recurrence after 12-mo postdiagnosis compared with before 12-mo postdiagnosis. Raw CV intake was associated with reduced odds of having ≥2 recurrences compared with having one (OR: 0.34; 95% CI: 0.16, 0.68). Higher plasma concentrations of ITC-albumin adducts were associated with a reduced risk of progression, including progression to muscle-invasive disease (for benzyl ITC, HR: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.17, 0.93; for phenethyl ITC, HR: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.19, 0.86). CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate the possible beneficial role of dietary ITCs in NMIBC prognosis. Given the compelling preclinical evidence, increasing dietary ITC exposure with CV intake could be a promising strategy to attenuate recurrence and progression risks in patients with NMIBC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the association of polygenic risk score (PRS) and bladder cancer (BC) risk and whether this PRS can be offset by a healthy lifestyle. METHODS Individuals with BC (n = 563) and non-BC controls (n = 483 957) were identified in the UK Biobank, and adjusted Cox regression models were used. A PRS was constructed based on 34 genetic variants associated with BC development, while a healthy lifestyle score (HLS) was constructed based on three lifestyle factors (i.e., smoking, physical activity, and diet). RESULTS Overall, a negative interaction was observed between the PRS and the HLS (P = 0.02). A 7% higher and 28% lower BC risk per 1-standard deviation (SD) increment in PRS and HLS were observed, respectively. A simultaneous increment of 1 SD in both HLS and PRS was associated with a 6% lower BC risk. In addition, individuals with a high genetic risk and an unfavourable lifestyle showed an increased BC risk compared to individuals with low genetic risk and a favourable lifestyle (hazard ratio 1.55, 95% confidence interval 1.16-1.91; P for trend <0.001). Furthermore, population-attributable fraction (PAF) analysis showed that 12%-15% of the BC cases might have been prevented if individuals had adhered to a healthy lifestyle. CONCLUSION This large-scale cohort study shows that a genetic predisposition combined with unhealthy behaviours have a joint negative effect on the risk of developing BC. Behavioural lifestyle changes should be encouraged for people through comprehensive, multifactorial approaches, although high-risk individuals may be selected based on genetic risk.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is among the ten most common cancers globally, causes considerable morbidity and mortality and is, therefore, a substantial burden for health-care systems. The incidence of bladder cancer is affected by demographic trends, most notably population growth and ageing, as well as exposure to risk factors, especially tobacco smoking. Consequently, the incidence has not been stable throughout the world over time, nor will it be in the near future. Further primary prevention efforts are of the utmost importance to reduce the medical and financial burden of bladder cancer on populations and health-care systems. Simultaneously, less-invasive and lower-cost approaches for the diagnosis of both primary and recurrent bladder cancers are required to address challenges posed by the increasing shortage of health-care professionals and limited financial resources worldwide. In this regard, urinary biomarkers have demonstrated promising diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Awareness of the risk factors and symptoms of bladder cancer should also be increased in society, particularly among health-care professionals and high-risk groups. Studies investigating the associations between lifestyle factors and bladder cancer outcomes are scarce and should be a research priority. In this Review, we outline global trends in bladder cancer incidence and mortality, and discuss the main risk factors influencing bladder cancer occurrence and outcomes. We then discuss the implications, challenges and opportunities of these epidemiological trends for public health and clinical practice.

Natural History of Multiple Recurrences in Intermediate-Risk Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer: Lessons From a Prospective Cohort. Urology 2023; 173:134-141.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the risk of multiple recurrences in intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (IR-NMIBC) and their impact on progression. Prognostic studies of IR-NMIBC have focused on initial recurrences, yet little is known about subsequent recurrences and their impact on progression. MATERIALS AND METHODS IR-NMIBC patients from the Be-Well Study, a prospective cohort study of NMIBC patients diagnosed from 2015 to 2019 at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, were identified. The frequency of first, second, and third intravesical recurrences of urothelial carcinoma were characterized using conditional Kaplan-Meier analyses and random-effects shared-frailty models. The association of multiple recurrences with progression was examined. RESULTS In 291 patients with IR-NMIBC (median follow-up 38 months), the 5-year risk of initial recurrence was 54.4%. After initial recurrence (n = 137), 60.1% of patients had a second recurrence by 2 years. After second recurrence (n = 70), 51.5% of patients had a third recurrence by 3 years. In multivariable analysis, female sex (Hazard Ratio 1.51, P< .01), increasing tumor size (HR 1.14, P< .01) and number of prior recurrences (HR 1.24, P< .01) were associated with multiple recurrences; whereas maintenance BCG (HR 0.66, P = .03) was associated with reduced recurrences. The 5-year risk of progression varied significantly (P< .01) by number of recurrences: 9.5%, 21.9%, and 37.9% for patients with 1, 2, and 3+ recurrences, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Multiple recurrences are common in IR-NMIBC and are associated with progression. Female sex, larger tumors, number of prior recurrences, and lack of maintenance BCG were associated with multiple recurrences. Multiple recurrences may prove useful as a clinical trial endpoint for IR-NMIBC.

Abstract
Importance Tobacco smoking is an established risk factor associated with bladder cancer, yet its impact on bladder cancer prognosis is unclear. Objective To examine associations of use of tobacco (cigarettes, pipes, and cigars), e-cigarettes, and marijuana with risk of recurrence and progression of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and to explore use of smoking cessation interventions. Design, Setting, and Participants The Be-Well Study is a prospective cohort study of patients with NMIBC diagnosed from 2015 to 2019 and followed-up for 26.4 months in the Kaiser Permanente Northern and Southern California integrated health care system. Eligibility criteria were age at least 21 years, first NMIBC diagnosis (stages Ta, Tis, or T1), alive, and not in hospice care. Exclusion criteria were previous diagnosis of bladder cancer or other cancer diagnoses within 1 year prior to or concurrent with NMIBC diagnosis. Data were analyzed from April 1 to October 4, 2022. Exposures Use of cigarettes, pipes, cigars, e-cigarettes, and marijuana was reported in the baseline interview. Use of smoking cessation interventions (counseling and medications) was derived from electronic health records. Main Outcomes and Measures Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs of recurrence and progression of bladder cancer were estimated by multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression. Results A total of 1472 patients (mean [SD] age at diagnosis, 70.2 [10.8%] years; 1129 [76.7%] male patients) with NMIBC were enrolled at a mean (SD) of 2.3 (1.3) months after diagnosis, including 874 patients (59.4%) who were former smokers and 111 patients (7.5%) who were current cigarette smokers; 67 patients (13.7%) smoked pipes and/or cigars only, 65 patients (4.4%) used e-cigarettes, 363 patients (24.7%) used marijuana. Longer cigarette smoking duration and more pack-years were associated with higher risk of recurrence in a dose-dependent manner, with the highest risks for patients who had smoked for 40 or more years (HR, 2.36; 95% CI, 1.43-3.91) or 40 or more pack-years (HR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.32-2.95). There was no association of having ever smoked, being a former or current cigarette smoker, and years since quit smoking with recurrence risk. No associations with pipes, cigars, e-cigarettes, or marijuana were found. Of 102 patients offered a smoking cessation intervention, 57 (53.8%) received an interventions after diagnosis, with female patients more likely than male patients to engage in such interventions (23 of 30 female patients [76.7%] vs 34 of 76 male patients [44.7%]; P = .003). Conclusions and Relevance These findings suggest that longer duration and more pack-years of cigarette smoking were associated with higher risk of NMIBC recurrence. Cigarette smoking remains a critical exposure before and after diagnosis in survivors of NMIBC.

Abstract
The therapeutic approach of bladder cancer strongly determines its prognosis. We describe the treatments and outcomes for a Spanish cohort of patients with bladder cancer for the first 12 months after diagnosis and identify the factors that influenced the decision to undergo the treatment received. We conducted a multicenter, prospective, cohort study including primary bladder cancer patients during the first 12 months after diagnosis. The clinical outcomes were performance status (ECOG), adverse events and any cause of mortality. We stratified the analysis by factors that might influence the treatments received. We conducted univariate and multivariable logistic regression models to assess which patient and tumor characteristics were associated with receiving adjuvant treatment in the subgroup of noninvasive bladder cancer patients. In total, 314 patients were included (85% men; 53.8% >70 years) in 7 tertiary Spanish hospitals; 82.2% had a noninvasive urothelial bladder cancer (NMIBC). Patients received mostly surgery plus adjuvant therapy (67.7%). BCG (32.8% patients) was the most frequently administered adjuvant therapy, followed by intravesical chemotherapy (17.8% patients) and radiotherapy (10.8%). The variability of administered treatments among hospitals was low. Patients with NMIBC were more likely to receive adjuvant therapy if they had a higher educational level, some comorbidities and a high-grade tumor. The number of fully active patients (ECOG 0) significantly decreased during the first year of follow-up from 58% to 36 % (OR: 2.41, 95%CI 1.82-3.20); at 12-month follow-up 10.8% patients had died from any cause. In conclusion, most of the patients had a NMIBC. Surgery alone or plus adjuvant therapy were the commonest curative options of bladder cancer. BCG therapy was the adjuvant therapy most frequently administered. Higher educational level, presence of comorbidities and a high-grade tumor were associated with adjuvant therapy. Patient performance status was worsening over time. Almost 1 of 10 patients died during the first year of follow-up.

Is there a role for physical activity interventions in the treatment pathway of bladder cancer? A scoping review of the literature. BMJ Open Sport Exerc Med 2021; 7:e000951. [PMID: 33782639 PMCID: PMC7949423 DOI: 10.1136/bmjsem-2020-000951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 02/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Physical activity (PA) interventions have been introduced in patients with cancer as they may contribute to better treatment outcomes and quality of life (QoL). However, little is known about the impact of PA on patients with bladder cancer (BC). This scoping review aimed to explore efficacy and feasibility of existing PA interventions in the BC care pathway. Methods and analysis Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Scoping Review guidelines and the Levac methodology framework were used; electronic databases were searched. Two independent reviewers screened all titles, abstracts and full-text publications for inclusion. The feasibility of integrating a PA intervention in the BC treatment pathway was discussed in a consultation phase with healthcare professionals and patient and public representatives. Results A total of 675 records were identified through database searching of which 14 studies were included in our scoping review. An additional 17 clinical trials were identified of which 12 were included for which no results have been published yet. The included studies looked at the feasibility of a PA intervention programme, the associations between PA, obesity and BC, but also the determinants of PA engagement for BC patients and the assessment of QoL. Conclusion This scoping review highlights that despite the general recognition on the role of PA in the BC treatment pathway, there is a gap regarding the understanding of the impact of PA interventions in BC care pathways as well as the limited understanding of factors underlying possible benefits of PA. No clear conclusions could be made regarding structure and processes of PA interventions that may lead to better outcomes. Further PA studies for patients with BC are needed to understand how to incorporate exercise guidelines recommendations.

Cheng TC, Lee YH, Chang YP, Lee DC. Improved urinary melatonin level as the perspective indicator that leads to better sleeping quality in bladder cancer patients. Ther Adv Urol 2020; 12:1756287220940870. [PMID: 32782482 PMCID: PMC7385844 DOI: 10.1177/1756287220940870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2020] [Accepted: 06/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Individuals with higher-than-average melatonin concentrations are less likely to develop cancer. In cancer patients, psychosomatic coping patterns and treatment side effects are important indicators of cancer prevention and immune system deterioration. This study focused on changes in the urinary melatonin concentration, life resilience, and sleep quality in bladder cancer patients before, and 3 months after, treatment. Methods: A controlled before-and-after study was performed. The subjects were patients who were previously diagnosed with bladder cancer and had received treatment (transurethral resection of bladder tumor + intravesical chemotherapy). Data from 23 subjects were analyzed. Results: The results showed a significant difference in the melatonin concentration before and after treatment (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Z = −2.220, p = 0.026). The melatonin concentration in 16 patients (70%) increased after treatment. The mean Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score before treatment was 7.348 (SD = 4.030), which was associated with poor sleep quality. The mean PSQI score after treatment was 6.435 (SD = 3.300; Z = −2.071; p = 0.038). These results represent the improved sleep quality in patients post-treatment. Conclusions: After treatment, the urinary melatonin concentration and sleep quality (PSQI) improved, both of which were statistically significant in bladder cancer patients. Consequently, bladder cancer treatment should be initiated as soon as possible. There was no significant difference in overall life resilience before and after treatment, possibly because elderly individuals have strong personality traits and emotional stability and are not easily affected by life events or stress.
