Abstract
PURPOSE The treated natural history of nonmetastatic plasmacytoid variant of bladder cancer (PV-BCa) is poorly understood owing to its rarity. We sought to examine the disease recurrence and metastasis patterns in this select group of patients in order to identify opportunities for intervention. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a natural language processing algorithm-augmented retrospective chart review of 56 consecutive patients who were treated with curative intent for nonmetastatic PV-BCa at our institution between 1998 and 2018. Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox regression methods were used for survival analyses. RESULTS The stage at presentation was: ≤ cT2N0 in 22 (39.3%), cT3N0 in 15 (26.8%), cT4N0 in 13 (23.2%), and ≥ cN1 in 6 patients (10.7%). Forty-nine patients (87.5%) received chemotherapy, and 42 (75%) were able to undergo the planned surgery. Notably, only 4 patients (7.2%) had pT0 stage, while 22 (52.4%) had pN+ disease at the time of surgery. At 36-month follow-up, 28.4% of patients (95% CI: 22.1%-34.5%) were alive and 22.2% (95% CI: 16.1%-28.5%) were free of metastatic disease. The benefit of surgical extirpation was stage specific: successful completion of surgery was associated with improved metastasis-free survival (at 36 months 32.4% vs 0%, log-rank P < .001) in patients with localized or locally advanced disease (≤cT2N0/cT3N0); however, in patients with regionally advanced disease (cT4N0/≥cN1), consolidative surgery following chemotherapy was not associated with improved metastasis-free survival (12.5% vs 10% at 36 months, log-rank P = .49). The median time to metastasis from primary treatment end was 6.5 months (IQR: 2.9-14.7). The predominant site of recurrence/metastasis was the peritoneum (76.1%), either in isolation or along with extraperitoneal lesions. Salvage immunotherapy in these patients significantly reduced the risk of death (HR = 0.11, P = .001). CONCLUSIONS PV-BCa is a disease with high lethality. Despite multimodal treatment, a vast majority of patients develop atypical intraperitoneal metastasis soon after therapy and rapidly succumb to it. Clinical trials evaluating utility of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy may be warranted in this high-risk population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine exposure rates to antibiotics prior to radical cystectomy and determine if there is correlation with post-operative infections. METHODS AND MATERIALS 2248 patients were identified in the 2016 SEER-Medicare linkage who underwent radical cystectomy between 2008 and 2014 with complete prescription information. An outpatient prescription for an antibiotic within 30 days prior to cystectomy was considered exposure. Antibiotic class and combinations were recorded. Postoperative infectious diagnoses and readmissions were tabulated within 30 days of cystectomy. RESULTS Fifty one percent of patients (n = 1149) were prescribed an outpatient antibiotic prior to cystectomy. Patients receiving antibiotics were more likely to be female (31% vs 25%, P < .01) and had been diagnosed with an infection (17% vs 11%, P < .01). Antibiotic bowel prophylaxis was prescribed to 42% of patients receiving antibiotics. Postoperatively, the exposure group had higher rates of any infection, (56% vs 51% P < .01) and UTI (36% vs 31% P < .01). All-cause readmission within 30 days was higher in the exposure cohort (26% vs 22%, P = .02) Multivariable logistic regression showed outpatient preoperative antibiotics were an independent risk factor for any infection (HR 1.19, P < .05) and readmission (hazards ratio 1.24, P = .03) in the 30 days after radical cystectomy. CONCLUSION Outpatient antibiotic use prior to radical cystectomy is common and may be associated with increased risk of postoperative infection and readmission. Antibiotic use prior to radical cystectomy should be examined as a modifiable factor to decrease post-operative morbidity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION While numerous current clinical trials are testing novel salvage therapies (ST) for patients with recurrent nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) after bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), the natural history of this disease state has been poorly defined to date. Herein, we evaluated oncologic outcomes in patients previously treated with BCG and ST who subsequently underwent radical cystectomy (RC). METHODS We identified 378 patients with high-grade NMIBC who received at least one complete induction course of BCG (n = 378) with (n = 62) or without (n = 316) additional ST and who then underwent RC between 2000 and 2018. Oncologic outcomes were compared using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards models. Sensitivity analyses were conducted stratifying by presenting tumor stage, matched 1:3 for receipt vs. no receipt of ST. RESULTS Patients receiving ST were more likely to initially present with CIS (26% vs. 17%) and less likely with T1 disease (34% vs. 50%, P = 0.06) compared to patients not treated with ST. Receipt of ST was not associated with increased risk of adverse pathology (≥pT2 or pN+) at RC (31% vs. 41%, P = 0.14). Likewise, 5-year cancer-specific survival did not significantly differ between groups on univariable Kaplan-Meier analysis (73% for ST and 74% for no ST, P = 0.7). Moreover, on multivariable analysis, receipt of ST was not significantly associated the risk of death from bladder cancer (HR 1.12; 95% CI 0.60-2.09, P = 0.7). Results were unchanged on sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that, in carefully selected patients, ST following BCG for high grade NMIBC does not compromise oncologic outcomes for patients who ultimately undergo RC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION ISUP Grade Group 1 prostate cancer is the lowest histologic grade of prostate cancer with a clinically indolent course. Removal of the term 'cancer' has been proposed and has historical precedent both in urothelial and thyroid carcinoma. METHODS Evidence-based review identifying arguments for and against Grade Group 1 being referred to as cancer. RESULTS Grade Group 1 has histologic evidence of tissue microinvasion and 0.3-3% rate of extraprostatic extension. Genomic evaluation suggests overlap of a minority of Grade Group 1 cancers with those of Grade Group 2. Conversely, Grade Group 1 tumors appear to have distinct genetic and genomic profiles from Grade Group 3 or higher tumors. Grade Group 1 has no documented ability for regional or distant metastasis and long-term follow up after treatment or active surveillance is safe with excellent oncologic outcomes. DISCUSSION Grade Group 1 prostate cancer, while showing evidence of neoplasia on histology has a remarkably indolent natural history more akin to non-neoplastic precursor lesions. Consideration should be given to renaming Grade Group 1 prostate cancer, which has the potential to minimize overtreatment, treatment-related side effects, patient anxiety, and financial burden on the healthcare system.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION For marker-negative clinical stage (CS) IIA nonseminomatous germ cell tumor (NSGCT), National Comprehensive Cancer Network and American Urological Association guidelines recommend either retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) or induction chemotherapy. The goal is cure with one form of therapy. We evaluated national practice patterns in the management of CSIIA NSGCT and utilization of secondary therapies. METHODS The National Cancer Data Base was used to identify 400 men diagnosed with marker negative CSIIA NSGCT between 2004 and 2014 treated with RPLND or chemotherapy. Trends in the utilization of initial and adjuvant treatment (chemotherapy only, RPLND only, RPLND with adjuvant chemotherapy, and postchemotherapy RPLND) were analyzed. RESULTS Of the 400 cases, 233 (58%) underwent induction chemotherapy with surveillance, 51 (20%) underwent RPLND with surveillance, 89 (22%) underwent RPLND followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, and 14 (4%) underwent induction chemotherapy followed by RPLND. Thirty percent of patients received dual therapy. After RPLND with pN1 staging, 43 (61%) underwent adjuvant chemotherapy. The pN0 rate after primary RPLND was 22%. Five year overall survival ranged from 95% to 100% based on initial treatment choice. CONCLUSIONS For marker negative CS IIA nonseminoma, dual, therapy, and treatment with chemotherapy is common. With low volume retroperitoneal disease resected at RPLND, adjuvant chemotherapy was frequently administered but has debatable therapeutic value. These data highlight opportunities to decrease treatment burden in patients with CS IIA nonseminoma.

Abstract
483 Background: We evaluate the impact of salvage intravesical therapy on survival in patients with NMIBC previously treated with BCG who ultimately underwent radical cystectomy (RC). Methods: We retrospectively identified patients with NMIBC who received at least 1 complete induction course of BCG and subsequently underwent RC for bladder cancer between 2000-2018. Patients were stratified by receipt of salvage intravesical therapy following BCG prior to RC. Oncologic outcomes were compared using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: We identified 371 patients who underwent RC after receiving BCG, of whom 55 (15%) received salvage intravesical therapy, most commonly Mitomycin C (n = 26), Valrubicin (n = 8), Gemcitabine (n = 7), and CG0070 (n = 6). Median follow-up among survivors was 1.1 (IQR 0-4.3) years. Patients who received salvage intravesical therapy were more likely to initially present with CIS (27% vs 17%) and less likely to present with T1 disease (33% vs 50%, both p < 0.05). Receipt of salvage intravesical therapy was not associated with increased risk of adverse pathology (≥pT2 or pN+) at RC (33% vs 41%, p = 0.27). Furthermore, on Kaplan-Meier analysis, receipt of salvage intravesical therapy was not associated with cancer-specific or overall survival. On multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression, clinical stage prior to RC, but not receipt of salvage intravesical therapy, was associated with inferior cancer-specific survival and overall survival. Conclusions: Our results suggest that RC following carefully managed salvage intravesical therapy after BCG is not associated with inferior oncologic outcomes, which can improve patient counseling.
