[PMID: 38819629 PMCID: PMC11141332 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.7323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND En-Bloc transurethral resection of bladder tumor (ERBT) was clinically used to resect non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). However, discrepancies persist regarding the comparisons between ERBT and conventional transurethral resection of bladder tumor (cTURBT). METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and performed manual searches of reference lists to collect and extract data. Data evaluation was carried out using Review Manager 5.4.0, Rx64 4.1.3, and relevant packages. RESULTS There were nine eligible meta-analyses and nine eligible RCTs in our study. NMIBC patients undergoing ERBT were significant associated with a lower rate of bladder perforation and obturator nerve reflex compared to those receiving cTURBT. Our pooled result indicated that ERBT and cTURBT required similar operation time. Regarding postoperative outcomes, ERBT demonstrated superior performance compared to cTURBT in terms of detrusor muscle presence, catheterization time, and residual tumor. ERBT exhibited a higher rate of three-month recurrence-free survival (RFS) compared to those receiving cTURBT (p < 0.05; I2 = 0%). In bipolar subgroup, ERBT had a significant better 12-month RFS than cTURBT (p < 0.05; I2 = 0%). Simultaneously, the exclusion of Hybrid Knife data revealed a significant improvement in 12-month RFS associated with ERBT (p < 0.05; I2 = 50%). CONCLUSION Using a combination of umbrella review and meta-analysis, we demonstrated that ERBT had better or comparable perioperative outcome and improved 3 and 12 month RFS than cTURBT. We suggest that ERBT maybe a better surgical method for patients with NMIBC compared with cTURBT.

Comparison of Pathological Outcome and Recurrence Rate between En Bloc Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor and Conventional Transurethral Resection: A Meta-Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15072055. [PMID: 37046715 PMCID: PMC10093679 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15072055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Current treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is the conventional transurethral resection of bladder tumor (CTURBT), but the en bloc transurethral resection of bladder tumor (ERBT) has been gaining more attraction in recent years considering better specimen integrity. Thus, we conducted this meta-analysis to compare the safety and efficacy of ERBT versus CTURBT. Trials were collected from an online database. The primary outcomes included identification of detrusor muscle in specimen, residual tumor, 3, 12, and 24-month recurrence rates and same-site recurrence rate. A total of 31 trials were included. The ERBT group had a higher rate of identification of detrusor muscle in specimens (p = 0.003) and lower residual tumor (p < 0.001). Other than that, lower rates of 3-month (p = 0.005) and 24-month recurrence rate (p < 0.001), same-site recurrence rate (p < 0.001) and complications were also observed. For perioperative outcomes, shorter hospitalization time (HT) (p < 0.001), and catheterization time (CT) (p < 0.001) were also revealed in the ERBT group. No significant difference was found in operative time (OT) (p = 0.93). The use of ERBT showed better pathological outcomes and fewer complications, so it could be considered a more effective treatment option for NMIBC.

Abstract
Background Transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) is the standard management for urinary bladder tumors; however, new techniques as Thulium laser en bloc resection of bladder tumors (TmLRBT) have been introduced as a substitute to TURBT. Objectives In this study safety, efficacy, and tumor recurrence after TmLRBT and TURBT were prospectively compared in patients with primary (<4 cm) bladder tumors. Patients and Methods Between August 2019 and May 2021, patients with primary (<4 cm) bladder tumors were enrolled. Patients were randomized between the two procedures. All perioperative data were collected prospectively. Pathological specimen findings and recurrence rates were reported during follow-up visits. Results Sixty patients underwent TURBT, and another 60 had TmLRBT. No significant differences were detected in patient demographics or preoperative tumor characteristics between the two groups. Operation time was less (28.2 vs. 38.9 min, P < 0.001), and rate of bladder perforation was lower with TmLRBT compared to TURBT (3.3% vs. 15.0%, P = 0.027). In the TmLRBT group, higher rate of muscle detection (95.0% vs. 78.3%, P < 0.001) in the pathological specimen, and lower rate of tissue destruction (0.0% vs. 21.6%, P < 0.001) were obtained compared to TURBT. Recurrence rate in cases of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer was lower with TmLRBT (6.7% vs. 33.0%, P < 0.001). Conclusion In this study, TmLRBT showed reduced operative time with lower perforation rates. Higher detection of detrusor muscle and less tissue destruction in the pathological specimen were obtained with TmLRBT, as well as lower rates of tumor recurrence. These findings suggest that TmLRBT is a safe and efficacious substitute to TURBT in tumors <4 cm.

Urol Oncol 2022; 40:454.e1-454.e7. [PMID: 35466036 DOI: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2022.03.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Revised: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess accuracy of vesical imaging-reporting and data system (VI-RADS) 5-point score in detection of muscle invasive bladder cancer and avoiding second look transurethral resection of the tumors (TURBT). Additionally, to assess safety and efficacy of bipolar en-block transurethral urethral resection of bladder tumor. METHODS Patients with bladder mass up to 5 cm were included in the study. VI-RADS 5-point score was done preoperative for all cases and postoperatively before second look TURBT. Patients were followed up for 12 months. RESULTS In all, 80 cases were eligible for the study. Preoperative VI-RADS score at cutoff of 3 had sensitivity of 89.3 %, specificity 83.3 %, postive predective value (PPV) 92.6 %, negative predictive value (NPV) 76.9 %, accuracy of 87.5 %, while at cutoff 2 sensitivity was 82.1%, specificity 91.7%, PPV 95.8%, NPV 68.8%, accuracy of 85.0%. Operative time 28.8 ± 9.4 minutes, hemoglobin drop 0.3 ± 0.05 g/dl, catheterization time 2.8 ± 0.8 days, hospital stay 1.4 ± 0.4 days. No complications occurred. Recurrence in field of resection 3.75%. Detrusor muscle was available in 76 cases (95%). Postoperative VI-RADS score at cutoff of 3 had sensitivity of 78.6%, specificity 77.8%, PPV 84.6%, NPV 70.0%, accuracy of 78.3%. At cutoff 2 VI-RADS score sensitivity was 71.4%, specificity 77.8%, PPV 83.3%, NPV 63.6%, accuracy of 73.9%. CONCLUSION VI-RADS 5-point score showed high sensitivity and specificity in preoperative discrimination of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) from muscle invasive bladder cancer cases and in avoiding unnecessary second look TURBT. Bipolar en-block TURBT technique is both safe and efficacious in resecting NMIBC cases with low recurrence rate.

Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare perioperative and oncological outcomes of upfront vs. delayed early radical cystectomy (eRC) for high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC). Methods: All consecutive HR-NMIBC patients who underwent eRC between 2001 and 2020 were retrospectively included and divided into upfront and delayed groups, according to the receipt or not of BCG. Perioperative outcomes were evaluated and the impact of upfront vs. delayed eRC on pathological upstaging, defined as ≥pT2N0 disease at final pathology, was assessed using multivariable logistic regression. Recurrence-free (RFS), cancer-specific (CSS) and overall survival (OS) were compared between upfront and delayed eRC groups using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW)-adjusted Cox model. Results: Overall, 184 patients received either upfront (n = 87; 47%) or delayed (n = 97; 53%) eRC. No difference was observed in perioperative outcomes between the two treatment groups (all p > 0.05). Pathological upstaging occurred in 55 (30%) patients and upfront eRC was an independent predictor (HR = 2.65; 95% CI = (1.23−5.67); p = 0.012). In the IPTW-adjusted Cox analysis, there was no significant difference between upfront and delayed eRC in terms of RFS (HR = 1.31; 95% CI = (0.72−2.39); p = 0.38), CSS (HR = 1.09; 95% CI = (0.51−2.34); p = 0.82) and OS (HR = 1.19; 95% CI = (0.62−2.78); p = 0.60). Conclusion: our results suggest similar perioperative outcomes between upfront and delayed eRC, with an increased risk of upstaging after upfront eRC that did impact survival, as compared to delayed eRC.

Abstract
Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer accounts for the majority of new bladder cancer diagnoses, and endoscopic transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) represents the standard-of-care. Although a relatively safe and common procedure, TURBT is often hampered by the questionable quality of resection. The evolution of surgical techniques has brought en bloc resection of bladder tumor (ERBT) to the forefront. ERBT has emerged as an alternative to conventional TURBT, incorporating a more delicate en bloc sculpting and tumor excision, in contrast to 'piecemeal' resection by conventional TURBT. ERBT appears safe, feasible and effective with demonstrably higher rates of detrusor muscle in the pathologic specimen, all while providing better staging and obviating the need for a re-TURBT in selected patients. However, the method's adoption in the field is still limited. This review summarizes the recent evidence relevant to ERBT while further highlighting the technique's limitations and unmet needs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The quality of the initial transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) plays a key role in accurate local staging thus affecting treatment decision-making and disease prognosis. TURBT is still the gold standard for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). However, en bloc resection of bladder tumors (ERBT) gradually expanded as a promising alternative to TURBT, aiming to overcome certain inherent limitations of conventional resection. We hereby describe a step-by-step bipolar ERBT technique and briefly review the current trends surrounding the role of various en bloc techniques in the field. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 65-year old patient undergoing bipolar ERBT for a single, approximately 2 cm, papillary bladder mass. An experienced urologist completed the procedure within 17 min and without any intra- or postoperative complications. No conversion to TURBT was needed, and an adequate specimen for histological assessment was obtained. The patient made an uneventful recovery, and no recurrence was noted at 12-months. CONCLUSION Our initial experience demonstrates that ERBT via bipolar current is relatively quick, safe, and reliable. Prospective comparative clinical trials will examine its efficacy, and long-term oncological superiority in managing NMIBC.

Abstract
Introduction: Our experience with the presence of detrusor muscle (DM) following Trans-Urethral Resection of Bladder Tumour (TURBT). Objectives: To evaluate the presence of DM in primary TURBT specimens as a quality improvement exercise in Frimley Park Hospital, UK. And to assess if the level of the surgeon has impact on outcomes. Methods: Retrospective and prospective analysis of the electronic records from a single urology centre, servicing a group of urologists. Data collected over three consecutive audit loops between January 2014 and May 2018. Results: A total of 301 cases were performed under the care of seven consultant urologists. Analysis revealed a significant improvement in the overall quality of resections from 39% to 66% (50–84% for intermediate and high grade) after the introduction of the following interventions: (1) analysis and improved awareness of current practice; (2) introduction of European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines by separating samples and sending a second specimen pot marked as bladder tumour base to look for DM; (3) dedicated urologists with an interest in bladder cancer performing en-bloc resection technique in appropriate cases. Conclusion: Through our closed-loop audits, we have demonstrated a considerable improvement in the quality of resections, resulting in accurate staging from the initial resection. This could in turn lead to improved over all prognoses and negating the need for re-resection in all cases of high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Level of evidence: 3

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transurethral resection of the urinary bladder (TURB) is the standard intervention in the diagnostic workup and treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. In order to minimize cancer recurrence and potential complications, continuous technical development of TURB is of high clinical interest. OBJECTIVES Presentation of the current standards and discussion of technological changes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Analysis of the current guideline recommendations and literature research. RESULTS The limitations of classic monopolar TURB is supplemented by new resection methods (en bloc) and technologies (bipolar and laser resection). Along with improved visualization through partially established technologies of photodynamic and digital image enhancement, there is potential for optimization regarding the likelihood of recurrences and complications as well as the histological quality of the resected material. CONCLUSION A positive impact on the oncological value and safety of TURB seems possible through the use of modern technologies. Further establishment up to evidence-based guideline recommendations are necessary.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Conventional transurethral resection (TURBT) with tumor fragmentation is the primary step in the surgical treatment of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer. Recently, new surgical techniques and training modalities have emerged with the aim to overcome short-comings of TURBT and improve oncologic outcomes. In this review, we provide a comprehensive update of recent techniques/techniques that aim to improve upon conventional TURBT and beyond. RECENT FINDINGS A systemic approach during conventional TURBT that features the use of a surgical checklist has been shown to improve recurrence-free survival. Several simulators have been developed and validated to provide additional training opportunities. However, transfer of improved simulator performance into real world surgery still requires validation. While there is no convincing data that demonstrate superior outcomes with bipolar TURBT, en-bloc resection already promises to offer lower rates of complications as well as potentially lower recurrence probabilities in select patients. SUMMARY TURBT remains the quintessential procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer. Urologists need to be aware of the importance and challenges of this procedure. Aside of embracing new resection techniques and a conceptual-systematic approach, training opportunities should be expanded upon to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE - To update French guidelines for the management of bladder cancer specifically non-muscle invasive (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancers (MIBC). METHODS - A Medline search was achieved between 2018 and 2020, notably regarding diagnosis, options of treatment and follow-up of bladder cancer, to evaluate different references with levels of evidence. RESULTS - Diagnosis of NMIBC (Ta, T1, CIS) is based on a complete deep resection of the tumor. The use of fluorescence and a second-look indication are essential to improve initial diagnosis. Risks of both recurrence and progression can be estimated using the EORTC score. A stratification of patients into low, intermediate and high risk groups is pivotal for recommending adjuvant treatment: instillation of chemotherapy (immediate post-operative, standard schedule) or intravesical BCG (standard schedule and maintenance). Cystectomy is recommended in BCG-refractory patients. Extension evaluation of MIBC is based on contrast-enhanced pelvic-abdominal and thoracic CT-scan. Multiparametric MRI can be an alternative. Cystectomy associated with extended lymph nodes dissection is considered the gold standard for non-metastatic MIBC. It should be preceded by cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy in eligible patients. An orthotopic bladder substitution should be proposed to both male and female patients with no contraindication and in cases of negative frozen urethral samples; otherwise transileal ureterostomy is recommended as urinary diversion. All patients should be included in an Early Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. For metastatic MIBC, first-line chemotherapy using platin is recommended (GC or MVAC), when performans status (PS <1) and renal function (creatinine clearance >60 mL/min) allow it (only in 50% of cases). In second line treatment, immunotherapy with pembrolizumab demonstrated a significant improvement in overall survival. CONCLUSION - These updated French guidelines will contribute to increase the level of urological care for the diagnosis and treatment of patients diagnosed with NMIBC and MIBC.

Abstract
Objective. The objective is to investigate the effect of minimally invasive treatment of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) by transurethral endoscopic submucosal dissection of bladder tumor (BT-ESD) under general intravenous anesthesia and the expression of Akt in NMIBC and to study the effect of upregulation of intracellular phosphatidylinositol kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) on tumor recurrence. Method. 130 patients with NMIBC were selected as the research subjects, including 101 males and 29 females. The patients were divided into transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) group, BT-ESD learning group A (early 20 cases of chief surgeon), and BT-ESD learning group B (follow-up cases of the chief surgeon). The general information (male and female prevalence ratio and average age), operation duration, postoperative bladder irrigation duration, postoperative indwelling catheter time, postoperative hospitalization time, and postoperative complications were compared among the patients in all groups. The normal bladder tissues and pathological tissues of NMIBC patients were stained by immunohistochemistry. Results. No significant difference is identified in age among the three groups (
), but there are significant differences in the operation duration, postoperative bladder irrigation time, postoperative indwelling catheter time, and postoperative hospital stay (
). At the same time, compared with BT-ESD group A and BT-ESD group B, the number of postoperative complications in TURBT group is statistically different (
). Akt has a strong positive expression in the nucleus of patients, which indicates that Akt activated by cellular PI3K will form the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and reduce the recurrence rate of bladder tumor.

Abstract
Bladder cancer remains one of the most common malignancies of the genitourinary tract. Transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT) via cystoscopy with examination under anesthesia remains the primary method for determining the diagnosis and clinical stage of bladder cancer. Given the substantial cost of treatment and risk of bladder cancer recurrence after TURBT, novel approaches to transurethral resection, such as the en bloc technique, have been developed in an attempt to address these limitations. In this review, we examined the postoperative and oncological outcomes of en bloc TURBT compared to traditional resection techniques. Further prospective clinical studies, however, are still necessary to determine whether these alternative technologies or surgical techniques may improve treatment in bladder cancer patients. Level of evidence: Not applicable.

Abstract
The goals of transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) are to identify and eradicate visualized bladder tumour if technically safe and feasible and to obtain a specimen of satisfactory quality to enable accurate histological diagnosis. In the setting of high grade bladder tumour this generally entails the inclusion of detrusor muscle and assessment for the presence of associated carcinoma in situ (CIS), lymphovascular involvement or any variant form of bladder cancer. This will assist in determining risk stratification and prognostication of the bladder cancer and guides further treatment planning. Conversely, if suboptimal TURBT is performed there will be detrimental consequences on patient outcomes in regards to undergrading or understaging, increased recurrence or progression, and subsequently need for further treatments including more invasive interventions. This review article firstly summarises the key principles and complications of TURBT, as well as significance of re-TURBT. We also discuss a number of modifications and advances in detection technology and resection techniques that have shown to improve perioperative as well as pathological and oncological outcomes of bladder cancer. They include enhanced cystoscopy such as blue light cystoscopy (BLC), narrow band imaging (NBI) and en bloc resection of bladder tumour (ERBT) technique using various types of energy source.

Consensus Definition and Prediction of Complexity in Transurethral Resection or Bladder Endoscopic Dissection of Bladder Tumours. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12103063. [PMID: 33092240 PMCID: PMC7589904 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12103063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2020] [Revised: 10/05/2020] [Accepted: 10/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Transurethral resection of bladder tumours may be technically challenging. Complexity was defined by consensus from the literature by a panel of ten senior urologists as “any TURBT/En-bloc dissection that results in incomplete resection and/or prolonged surgery (>1 h) and/or significant (Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3) perioperative complications”. Patient and tumour’s characteristics that suggested to by the panel to relate to complex surgery were collected and then ranked by Delphi consensus. They were tested in the prediction of complexity in 150 clinical scenarios. After univariate and logistic regression analyses, significant characteristics were organized into a checklist that predicts complexity. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves of the regression model and the corresponding calibration curve showed adequate discrimination (AUC = 0.916) and good calibration. The resulting Bladder Complexity Checklist can be used to deliver optimal preoperative information and personalise the organisation of surgery. Abstract Ten senior urologists were interrogated to develop a predictive model based on factors from which they could anticipate complex transurethral resection of bladder tumours (TURBT). Complexity was defined by consensus. Panel members then used a five-point Likert scale to grade those factors that, in their opinion, drove complexity. Consensual factors were highlighted through two Delphi rounds. Respective contributions to complexity were quantitated by the median values of their scores. Multivariate analysis with complexity as a dependent variable tested their independence in clinical scenarios obtained by random allocation of the factors. The consensus definition of complexity was “any TURBT/En-bloc dissection that results in incomplete resection and/or prolonged surgery (>1 h) and/or significant (Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3) perioperative complications”. Logistic regression highlighted five domains as independent predictors: patient’s history, tumour number, location, and size and access to the bladder. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis confirmed good discrimination (AUC = 0.92). The sum of the scores of the five domains adjusted to their regression coefficients or Bladder Complexity Score yielded comparable performance (AUC = 0.91, C-statistics, p = 0.94) and good calibration. As a whole, preoperative factors identified by expert judgement were organized to quantitate the risk of a complex TURBT, a crucial requisite to personalise patient information, adapt human and technical resources to individual situations and address TURBT variability in clinical trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether transurethral en bloc submucosal hydrodissection of bladder tumours (TUEB) improves the quality of the resection compared to conventional transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). PATIENTS AND METHODS A randomised, multicentre trial (HYBRIDBLUE) was conducted with a superiority design. Six German academic centres participated between September 2012 and August 2015. Based on literature analysis, a sample size for accurate histopathological assessment concerning muscle invasion was assumed to be feasible in 50% (P0 = 0.5) of TURBT and 80% of TUEB cases. After pre-screening of a total of 305 patients, participants were allocated to two study arms: Group I: hexaminolevulinate (HAL)-guided TUEB; Group II: conventional HAL-guided TURBT. The primary endpoint was the proportion of specimens that could be reliably evaluated pathologically concerning muscle invasiveness. Secondary endpoints included rates of histopathological completeness of the resection, muscularis propria content, recurrence, and complication rates. RESULTS A total of 115 patients (TUEB 56; TURBT 59) were eligible for final analysis. Adequate histopathological assessment, which included muscularis propria content and tumour margins (R0 vs R1), was present in 48/56 (86%) TUEB patients compared to 37/59 (63%; P = 0.006) in the TURBT group. R0 was confirmed in 30/56 TUEB patients (57%) and five of 59 TURBT patients (9%; P < 0.001). No complications of Grade ≥III were observed in both arms. At 3 and 12 months, three and 19 patients recurred in the TUEB group vs seven and 11 patients in the TURBT group, respectively (P = 0.33 and P = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS In this randomised study, TUEB was shown to be clinically safe regarding perioperative endpoints. An adequate histopathological assessment concerning muscle invasion was significantly better assessable in the TUEB arm compared to standard TURBT. This finding indicates the clinical potential for reducing the rate of early re-resections. Yet, a larger study with recurrence-free survival as the primary endpoint is needed to assess the oncological efficacy between both techniques.

Abstract
Objective To propose updated French guidelines for non-muscle invasive (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive (MIBC) bladder cancers. Methods A Medline search was achieved between 2015 and 2018, as regards diagnosis, options of treatment and follow-up of bladder cancer, to evaluate different references with levels of evidence. Results Diagnosis of NMIBC (Ta, T1, CIS) is based on a complete deep resection of the tumor. The use of fluorescence and a second-look indication are essential to improve initial diagnosis. Risks of both recurrence and progression can be estimated using the EORTC score. A stratification of patients into low, intermediate and high risk groups is pivotal for recommending adjuvant treatment: instillation of chemotherapy (immediate post-operative, standard schedule) or intravesical BCG (standard schedule and maintenance). Cystectomy is recommended in BCG-refractory patients. Extension evaluation of MIBC is based on contrast-enhanced pelvic-abdominal and thoracic CT-scan. Multiparametric MRI can be an alternative. Cystectomy associated with extended lymph nodes dissection is considered the gold standard for non-metastatic MIBC. It should be preceded by cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy in eligible patients. An orthotopic bladder substitution should be proposed to both male and female patients with no contraindication and in cases of negative frozen urethral samples; otherwise transileal ureterostomy is recommended as urinary diversion. All patients should be included in an Early Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. For metastatic MIBC, first-line chemotherapy using platin is recommended (GC or MVAC), when performans status (PS < 1) and renal function (creatinine clearance > 60 mL/min) allow it (only in 50 % of cases). In second line treatment, immunotherapy with pembrolizumab demonstrated a significant improvement in overall survival. Conclusion These updated French guidelines will contribute to increase the level of urological care for the diagnosis and treatment for NMIBC and MIBC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prostate cancer (PCa) is an aggressive tumor. SHC SH2-domain-binding protein 1 (SHCBP1) has been identified frequently upregulated in various cancers, in addition to PCa. The aims of this study were to determine the relationships between SHCBP1 and clinicopathological characteristics of PCa and to explore the role of SHCBP1 in PCa proliferation and progression. METHODS Tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry were used to determine the prognostic significance of SHCBP1. The relationship between clinicopathological characteristics of PCa and SHCBP1 was then analyzed using Cox regression analyses. To investigate SHCBP1 functions in vitro and in vivo, we knocked down SHCBP1 in PCa cell lines and established xenograft mice models. A series of cytological function assays were utilized to determine the role of SHCBP1 in cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis. RESULTS SHCBP1 was significantly upregulated in PCa tissues compared with BPH tissues. Patients with a higher expression of SHCBP1 were associated with poor survival outcomes than those with a lower expression of SHCBP1. Lentivirus-mediated shRNA knockdown of SHCBP1 in prostate cancer cell lines diminished cell growth, migration, and invasion dramatically both in vitro and in vivo, accompanied by an enhanced expression of large tumor suppressor 1 (LATS1) and tumor protein P53 (TP53) and inhibition of MDM2 proto-oncogene (MDM2), which suggested that SHCBP1 may promote proliferation and invasion in vitro via the LATS1-MDM2-TP53 pathway. The results of cycloheximide (CHX) and MG-132 assays indicated that SHCBP1 knockdown could attenuate the degradation of TP53 by the proteasome, prolong the half-life of TP53, and enhance the stabilization of TP53. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that SHCBP1 overexpression contributes to PCa progression and that targeting SHCBP1 might be therapeutically beneficial to patients with PCa.

En-bloc resection of urinary bladder tumour - a prospective controlled multicentre observational study. Wideochir Inne Tech Maloinwazyjne 2020; 16:145-150. [PMID: 33786128 PMCID: PMC7991935 DOI: 10.5114/wiitm.2020.95399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2020] [Accepted: 03/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) is one of the most commonly performed urologic procedures. Because of the shortcomings of conventional TURBT, the en-bloc resection concept was created. Aim To analyse the influence of en-bloc technique on surgical and oncological outcomes of TURBT performed with electric current. Material and methods This non-randomized, prospective controlled multicentre study enrolled 427 consecutive patients undergoing TURBT performed by five experienced endourologists in five academic institutions. Choice of procedure was at the discretion of the surgeon. The vast majority of patients underwent monopolar resection. The en-bloc procedure was performed with Collin's knife or the classic resection loop. Study end-points were surgery, catheterization and hospitalization time, presence of muscularis propria (MP) in the specimen and 3-month recurrence-free survival (RFS). Results The study included 427 (274 conventional TURBT vs. 153 en-bloc) patients with mean age of 69 years (range: 18-99). There were more cases with MP present in the specimen in the en-bloc group (91.3% vs. 75.5%; p < 0.001). Surgery and hospitalization times were statistically shorter in the en-bloc group (both p < 0.05). A borderline significant difference was noted when the number of residual tumours in reTURBTs was analysed, with fewer cases of residual tumour in the en-bloc group (p = 0.051). RFS at 3 months was higher in the en-bloc group (88.4% vs. 80.1%; p = 0.027). After propensity score matching, differences in MP presence, hospitalization time and 3-month RFS status remained statistically significant. Conclusions When compared to conventional TURBT, en-bloc resection of bladder tumour is associated with higher percentage of MP presence in histopathological specimen, higher 3-month RFS and shorter hospitalization time.

Abstract
Objective To ascertain whether en bloc resection could reduce the risk of seeding cancer cells into the circulation during the resection of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Methods Patients with primary NMIBC were enrolled in this prospective study from October 2017 to May 2018. Patients were allocated to receive conventional transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) or retrograde en bloc resection technique of the bladder tumor (RERBT). Blood samples (1 ml) for circulating tumor cell (CTC) enumeration were drawn from the peripheral vein prior to resection (PV1), immediately after resection of the tumor base (PV2), and at 12 h after resection (PV3). Intra-group comparisons of the changes in the number of CTCs identified among the PV1, PV2, and PV3 blood samples were performed in each group. Results A total of 21 patients (12 in the RERBT group and 9 in the TURB group) were recruited. For patients receiving TURB, the level of CTCs identified in PV3 was significantly higher than that in PV1 (p = 0.047). However, there was no significant difference in CTC counts before and after resection in the RERBT group. Conclusion RERBT did not increase the number of tumor cells in the bloodstream.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In endoscopic resection of colorectal tumors, the pathological assessment of the lateral margins is a strong predictor of tumor recurrence after resection. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the value of the peritumoral margins assessment in ERBT on tumor recurrence. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of 50 consecutive patients with NMIBC and treated by ERBT between January and December 2017. RESULTS The lateral margins showed dysplasia in 16 patients and malignancy in three patients. Local recurrence occurred in 14 (28%) patients. It was noted that 57% of patients with recurrence showed some degree of dysplasia or malignancy in the lateral margin; however, on multivariate logistic regression lateral margins lesions were not significantly associated with recurrence (OR 2.175, 95% CI: 0.430-10.996, P=0.35). CONCLUSIONS ERBT may improve the pathological report of bladder tumor. There was a trend toward increased rate of recurrence in patients with dysplasia or malignancy in their lateral margins; however, this was not statistically significant on multivariate analysis. Further studies with larger sample sizes are required to assess the value of lateral margin analysis.

Safety and efficacy of en bloc transurethral resection versus conventional transurethral resection for primary nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer: a meta-analysis. World J Surg Oncol 2020; 18:4. [PMID: 31901243 PMCID: PMC6942380 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-019-1776-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2019] [Accepted: 12/23/2019] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The purpose of this meta-analysis is to compare the safety and efficacy of en bloc transurethral resection of bladder tumor (EBRT) versus conventional transurethral resection of bladder tumor (CTURBT). Methods We performed a meta-analysis of relevant articles through November 2019 using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register to compare the safety and efficacy of EBRT versus CTURBT. The main endpoint included the operation time (OT), hospitalization time (HT), catheterization time (AT), perioperative period complications, bladder detrusor muscle found in the specimen, the residual tumor on the base, the ratio of the same site recurrence, and 12/24/36-month recurrence rate. Cochrane Collaboration’s Revman software, version 5.3, was used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 19 studies with 2651 patients were included, 1369 underwent EBRT and 1282 underwent CTURBT. Patients treated with EBRT had a significantly lower AT, HT, obturator nerve reflex, bladder perforation, bladder irritation, postoperative complications, and 24-month recurrence rate than those who underwent CTURBT. While no significant difference was found in terms of OT, the ratio of bladder detrusor muscle found in the specimen, the residual tumor on the base, 12-month recurrence rate, 36-month recurrence rate, and the ratio of the same site recurrence. In mitomycin subgroup, EBRT was superior to CTURBT in terms of 12/24-month recurrence rate. Similarly, in the prospective subgroup and retrospective subgroup, EBRT had a lower 24-month recurrence rate than CTURBT. However, no significant difference was found in the low, intermediate, and high-risk group in the light of 12–36-month recurrence rate. Conclusions Based on the included 19 articles, EBRT had a significantly lower AT, HT, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and 24-month recurrence rate than those treated with CTURBT. Well-designed randomized controlled trials were needed to reevaluate these outcomes. Trial registration This meta-analysis was reported in agreement with the PRISMA statement and was registered on PROSPERO 2019 CRD42019121673.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. The transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURB) remains the gold standard in both diagnostics and treatment. Because of the importance of TURB in bladder cancer management and the fact that TURB is one of the most commonly performed urologic procedures, it is the subject of continuous technological development. The latest advances in the field of endourology are aimed at increasing surgical accuracy and thus reducing the risk of bladder tumour recurrence and progression. However, despite the constant progress in technology and technique, there are still a lack of good quality data showing the superiority of any of the methods. The aim of this paper is to present available data on new technological developments in surgical technique of TURB. Advantages and disadvantages of currently available methods are discussed, and literature showing their effectiveness and safety is shown.

A pilot study to assess the safety and usefulness of combined transurethral endoscopic mucosal resection and en-bloc resection for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. BMC Urol 2019; 19:56. [PMID: 31234817 PMCID: PMC6591831 DOI: 10.1186/s12894-019-0486-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2018] [Accepted: 06/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Transurethral resection (TUR) is the standard operation used for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Although most solid tumors are principally removed via single block resection without incising the mass, disruption of the lesion is unavoidable in traditional TUR. Furthermore, pathological diagnosis is often difficult due to heat-related denaturation of tissues in TUR. Although transurethral en-bloc resection is useful for judging tumor invasion, it is associated with a prolonged operative duration. We attempted to show the safety and usefulness of combined endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and en-bloc resection in NMIBC patients. Methods We investigated 39 patients with clinical NMIBC who were treated using our original EMR + en-bloc resection technique, which involved removal of the tumor mass that protruded from the mucosa, using a polypectomy snare similar to that used for EMR. The residual lesion was removed using en-bloc resection. The operative period, duration of hospitalization, and recurrence rates were compared with those of conventional TUR (n = 31). Results The mean (standard deviation, range) time interval for EMR and total operative duration were 1.6 (1.1, 1–5) min and 18.3 (10.5, 3–48) min, respectively. The total operative duration was comparable to that of TUR (17.3 min, p = 0.691). The mean duration of catheterization in the EMR + en-bloc resection group (4.2 days) was also similar to that in the TUR group (3.7 days; p = 0.285). No severe complications were observed with EMR + en-bloc resection. The pathologists were able to determine tumor invasiveness with considerable certainty in all specimens obtained via the EMR + en-bloc procedure than via TUR, and the difference in the ease of diagnosis was statistically significant (p = 0.016). Recurrence rates were comparable (p = 0.662) between the EMR + en-bloc (15.4%) and TUR groups (19.4%). Conclusions Our results demonstrated that the EMR + en-bloc resection technique is feasible, safe, and useful for treating patients with NMIBC. Furthermore, this technique helps provide a more accurate pathological diagnosis.

Abstract
Background: This study compared magnetic resonance imaging-guided biopsy (MRI-GB) and transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy (TRUS-GB) with the final histology of the radical prostatectomy (RP) specimen. Methods: Our subjects were 229 patients with prostate cancer (PCa), proven histopathologically using MRI-GB or TRUS-GB, who underwent RP at our center between December 2015 and December 2016. The main group included 92 patients who underwent MRI-GB and the control group included 137 patients who underwent 12-core TRUS-GB. Histological findings for RP specimens were compared with those from biopsies. We also evaluated predictors of upgraded Gleason score (GS), using uni- and multivariate analyses. Results: Upgraded GS between biopsy and RP specimen occurred to 22.7% (52/229) of the cohort overall. In univariate analysis, prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) (P<0.001), prostate volume (PV) < 30 ml (P<0.001), biopsy modality (P=0.027), biopsy GS (P=0.032) and measured MRI lymph node metastasis (P=0.018) were prognostic factors. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed PV < 30 ml (P<0.001) and biopsy modality (P=0.001) were independent predictors of upgraded GS. Conclusions: MRI-GB may enhance the diagnostic accuracy of prostate cancer detection in final histopathology with lower rate of upgraded GS than TRUS-GB. Also, PV < 30 ml and biopsy modality were independent predictors of upgraded GS.

Risk factors for bladder cancer recurrence survival in patients with upper-tract urothelial carcinoma. TUMORI JOURNAL 2018; 104:451-458. [PMID: 29737959 DOI: 10.5301/tj.5000705] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this work was to investigate the predictive factors for bladder cancer recurrence survival (BCRS) in patients with upper-tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). METHODS We selected patients with UTUC who underwent segmental ureterectomy (Su) or nephroureterectomy (Nu) from 2004 to 2013 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Patients with a history of intravesical therapy for bladder cancer and bladder cancer prior to the diagnosis of UTUC were excluded. We used Kaplan-Meier analysis, log-rank tests, and Cox proportional hazards model to compare overall survival, cancer-specific survival, and BCRS. RESULTS In a cohort of 1,454 patients, 169 (11.6%) had low-grade tumors and 1,285 (88.4%) had high-grade tumors; 239 (16.4%) underwent Su and 1,215 (83.6%) underwent Nu. We found that T4 grade (hazard ratio [HR] = 6.216; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.197-12.087) and ureteral tumors (HR = 1.764; 95% CI, 1.173-2.652) were predictors of shorter BCRS, whereas Nu (HR = 0.608; 95% CI, 0.388-0.953) predicted longer BCRS. Five-year BCRS rates were low-grade tumors: 94.1%, high-grade tumors: 85.4% (p = 0.038); plus Su: 82.9%, and Nu: 87.6% (p = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS Use of Su should be more selective for high-grade tumors, as it correlates with shorter BCRS. Tumors located in the ureter are associated with shorter BCRS than those located in the renal pelvis.

Impact of Obesity on Long-Term Urinary Incontinence after Radical Prostatectomy: A Meta-Analysis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:8279523. [PMID: 29850573 PMCID: PMC5903323 DOI: 10.1155/2018/8279523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2017] [Revised: 02/11/2018] [Accepted: 02/28/2018] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Obesity is a known risk factor for prostate cancer progression and may contribute to poor treatment outcomes. However, little is known concerning the relationship between obesity (body mass index [BMI] ⩾ 30) and the urinary incontinence (UI) of patients after radical prostatectomy (RP). The goal of this study was to focus on the prevalence and duration of UI after RP with specific attention to the BMI. Subsequently, trials were identified in a literature search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using appropriate search terms. All comparative studies reporting BMI, study characteristics, and outcome data including the relationship between BMI and urinary incontinence data were included. Finally, four studies comprising 6 trials with 2890 participants were included. The results showed that obesity increased UI risk at 12 months in patients who underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RLRP) (odds ratio [OR] 2.43, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.21, 4.88], P = 0.01). When stratified by the surgical methods, the pooled results showed that obesity increased UI risk at 24 months in patients who underwent RLRP (OR 2.00, 95% CI [1.57, 2.56], P < 0.001). However, in patients who underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP), the pooled results showed that obesity does not increase UI risk at 24 months (OR 1.13, 95% CI [0.74, 1.72], P = 0.58). This is the first study to include obesity as the primary independent variable. Outcomes indicate that obesity (BMI ≥ 30) may increase the UI risk at 12 and 24 months after RLRP. Well-designed randomized controlled trials with strict control of confounders are needed to make results comparable.

Abstract
Infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC) is a rare histologic subtype of prostate cancer. We investigated the clinicopathological features and prognosis of IDC compared with acinar cell carcinoma (ACC). We identified 3814 men diagnosed with prostate cancer between 2004 to and 2013 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, including 511 IDC and 3303 ACC cases. Prostate cancer-specific survival (PCSS) was compared using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. Generally, IDC occurred in older men (≥ 65 years old) and presented with larger sizes, and higher grades, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stages, AJCC T stages, lymph node positive rates and metastasis rates. Men with IDC were less likely to undergo radical prostatectomy, but more likely to be treated with adjuvant radiation than men with ACC. Five-year PCSS rates were significantly worse in IDC. In the multivariate analysis, patients with ACC had a better PCSS than patients with IDC. In conclusion, IDC has unique clinicopathological characteristics and has worse prognosis than ACC. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that age over 85 years, higher grade and T stage, and metastasis at diagnosis were independent prognostic factors of worse survival outcomes, whereas radical prostatectomy was an independent prognostic factor of better survival outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) using a wire loop is considered the gold standard for staging and treating non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). TURBT is associated with serious disadvantages that facilitate tumor recurrence. The present study evaluated the safety and efficacy of the bipolar button electrode for en bloc resection of NMIBC. METHODS From January 2013 to July 2016, 82 consecutive patients newly diagnosed with NMIBC received transurethral en bloc resection with bipolar button electrode. Operative details, pathological result, and intraoperative and postoperative complications regarded as safety outcomes were documented. Each patient was followed up for ≥ 18 months. RESULTS A total of 118 neoplasms were removed en bloc from 82 patients. The mean tumor diameter was 2.42 ± 1.34 cm. The average operation time was 35 ± 14 min. No complications such as bladder bleeding, vesicle perforation, and obturator nerve reflex occurred during the treatment. Pathological evaluations showed urothelial carcinoma with stage Ta low grade in 26 patients, T1 high grade in 51 patients, and T2 high grade in 5 patients. In addition, the bladder detrusor muscle layer was provided in all cases. The 18-month recurrence-free survival was 88.5% (23/26) and 74.5% (38/51) for Ta and T1 patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The current results demonstrated that transurethral en bloc resection with bipolar button electrode is an effective, feasible, and safe treatment for NMIBC.

The efficacy and feasibility of total reconstruction versus nontotal reconstruction of the pelvic floor on short-term and long-term urinary continence rates after radical prostatectomy: a meta-analysis. World J Surg Oncol 2017; 15:228. [PMID: 29262863 PMCID: PMC5738806 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-017-1296-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2017] [Accepted: 12/08/2017] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Recently, total pelvic floor reconstruction (TR) has been the treatment of choice for improving urinary incontinence (UI) after radical prostatectomy (RP). However, the superiority of TR with respect to urinary continence recovery following RP remains controversial. This study identified the effect of TR versus nonTR of the pelvic floor on short-term and long-term continence rates after RP. Methods A literature search was performed in November 2017 using the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases. Only comparative research or clinical studies reporting urinary continence outcomes was included in the meta-analysis, and the quality of evidence was evaluated using the 2011 Level of Evidence for therapy research. Results We analyzed ten studies reporting urinary continence rates after RP at one or more postoperative time points (1, 2, 4, 12, 24, and 52 weeks). TR was associated with significantly better urinary continence outcomes at 1 week (OR 2.76, 95% CI 1.58–4.84, P < 0.001), 2 weeks (OR 2.57, 95% CI 1.74–3.80, P < 0.001), 4 weeks (OR 2.61, 95% CI 1.56–4.38, P < 0.001), 12 weeks (OR 4.33, 95% CI 2.01–9.33, P < 0.001), 24 weeks (OR 3.83, 95% CI 1.54–9.55, P = 0.004), 52 weeks (OR 4.10, 95% CI 1.80–9.38, P < 0.001) after RP. There was no difference in the rate of complications between the two arms (OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.19–1.54, P = 0.25). Conclusions Compared with nonTR, TR is significantly and positively associated with a return to continence but not with complication rate in men following RP, suggesting that TR may be useful for decreasing the urinary incontinence rate after surgery.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of the R.E.N.A.L. Nephrometry Score to postoperatively predict high-grade clear-cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods: The study included 288 patients diagnosed with ccRCC who had complete CT/CTA data and R.E.N.A.L. Nephrometry Scores and underwent renal surgery at our center between January 2012 and December 2015. The relationship between the pathological grade of renal masses and R.E.N.A.L. Nephrometry Score was evaluated. Results: Univariate analysis indicated that diagnostic modality, cystic necrosis, enlargement of the regional lymph node, distant metastasis, clinical T stage, TNM stage, surgical modality, tumor size, nearness of the tumor to the collecting system or sinus, total Nephrometry Score and individual anatomic descriptor components were significantly associated with postoperative tumor grade (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that tumor size, the maximal diameter (R score), exophytic/endophytic properties (E score) and the location relative to the polar lines (L score) were independent prognostic factors to preoperatively predicting ccRCC pathological grade. The areas under the ROC curve with respect to the multi-parameter regression model (0.935, 95%CI: 0.904-0.966), tumor size (0.901, 95%CI: 0.866-0.937), R score (0.868, 95%CI: 0.825-0.911), E score (0.511, 95%CI: 0.442-0.581) and L score (0.842, 95%CI: 0.791-0.892) were calculated and compared. Conclusion: Tumor size, as well as R, E, and L scores were independent prognostic factors for high-grade pathology. Lager tumor sizes and higher R, E and L scores were more likely to be associated with high-grade pathological outcomes. Thus, the R.E.N.A.L. Score is of practical significance in facilitating urologists to make therapeutic decisions.

Abstract
Purpose To analyze the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to determine the effects of sex and prognostic factors on the survival of patients with primary urethral carcinoma (PUC). Materials and methods We selected 453 patients diagnosed with PUC from 2004 to 2013 from the SEER database. Statistical analysis was used to identify sex-specific differences associated with tumor characteristics and cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS). Results Compared with men, there was a higher proportion of black women, more negative lymph-node status, higher American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage, more advanced T3 stage, more with adenocarcinoma (Ac), and fewer with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). Among women, black race and M1 stage were associated with shorter CSS and OS, respectively. In addition, surgery was associated with longer OS in women. Among men, AJCC III and IV and M1 stages were associated with shorter CSS and OS. In addition, age >75 years associated with shorter OS in men. Conclusion Black race was associated with shorter OS and CSS of women, and surgery was associated with longer OS of women. Among men, AJCC stage III and IV were associated with shorter OS and CSS. Age >75 years was associated with shorter OS in men only. Women with Ac experienced poor CSS compared with men. Men with TCC experienced worse CSS compared with those with Ac or SCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cystoscopy with transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) is essential in the diagnosis of bladder cancer as well as the management of non-muscle-invasive disease yet remains a comparatively imprecise procedure secondary to variability among patients, tumors, and surgeons alike. We will review evolving technologies and techniques used to enhance safety and efficacy of TURBT performance and education in the management of bladder cancer. RECENT FINDINGS Though a generally safe procedure, efficacy of TURBT in terms of complete tumor excision, appropriate pathologic diagnosis, and absence of complications can vary significantly with direct impact on patient outcomes. Application of new techniques including bipolar electrocautery and photodynamic enhancement continues to shape endoscopic management of bladder cancer and improve safety, tumor excision rates, and downstream outcomes. High-quality bladder tumor resection is essential for effective bladder cancer management. Technologies such as bipolar electrocautery and photodynamic visualization improve safety and tumor eradication. Improved education and surgical technique will further standardize high-level outcomes for patients undergoing TURBT.

Efficacy and Toxicity of Low-Dose versus Conventional-Dose Chemotherapy for Malignant Tumors: a Meta-Analysis of 6 Randomized Controlled Trials. Asian Pac J Cancer Prev 2017; 18:479-484. [PMID: 28345833 PMCID: PMC5454746 DOI: 10.22034/apjcp.2017.18.2.479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Low-dose chemotherapy has emerged as a new strategy for control of cancer. However, there is a controversy as to whether
low-dose chemotherapy is an effective way to manage many human malignancies. To shed light on this controversy,
we performed a meta-analysis of relative merits between low-dose and conventional-dose chemotherapy in different
carcinomas. Studies published before February 29, 2016 were reviewed for the meta-analysis and selected according to
defined criteria. The effect levels of low-dose chemotherapy regarding overall survival (OS), progression-free survival
(PFS) and severe adverse events (SAEs) (Grade≥3) were calculated as risk ratios (ORs) or adjusted hazard ratios (HRs).
Six randomized controlled studies (RCTs) have provided data for low-dose chemotherapy versus conventional-dose
chemotherapy for 838 cases and 833 cases, respectively. Interestingly, low-dose chemotherapy achieved the same
desired potency as conventional-dose chemotherapy, with no differences in pooled ORR (RR=1.00, 95%CI [0.89,
1.13]; (P=0.97), OS (HR=1.07, 95%CI [0.90, 1.26]; P=0.44) and PFS (HR=1.02, 95%CI [0.84, 1.23]; P=0.87) values.
Furthermore, pooled data for common SAEs showed that, compared with conventional-dose chemotherapy regimen,
low-dose chemotherapy regimen resulted in significant less mucositis (P<0.0001), thrombocytopenia (P<0.00001),
anemia (P=0.0001) and febrile neutropenia (P=0.004). At the same time, no statistically significant differences were
observed with regard to treatment-related death (P=0.36), diarrhea (P=0.49), leucopenia (P=0.11), neutropenia (P=0.74)
and nausea/vomiting (ʺPʺ=0.21). Publication bias was assessed by Egger’s test and the funnel plot. In conclusion, the
meta-analysis seems to support the idea that low-dose chemotherapy may play an important role in achieving the same
desired potency as conventional-dose chemotherapy in managing malignant tumors. Moreover, low-dose regimen seems
to possess positive advantages of lower toxicity which is a particular concern for most patients.
