Bladder Cancer

Risks and benefits of transurethral resection of the bladder tumor using photodynamic diagnosis with oral 5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride according to age and history of recurrence in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Patient selection for transurethral resection of the bladder tumor using photodynamic diagnosis (PDD-TURBT) with oral 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) hydrochloride for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is still unclear as to the best balance of risks (adverse events including hypotension) and benefits (reduction of intravesical recurrence).

Risk Factors Involved in the High Incidence of Bladder Cancer in an Industrialized Area in North-Eastern Spain: A Case-Control Study.

Bladder cancer (BC) is the most common of the malignancies affecting the urinary tract. Smoking and exposure to occupational and environmental carcinogens are responsible for most cases. Vallès Occidental is a highly industrialized area in north-eastern Spain with one of the highest incidences of BC in men.

Intravesical BCG in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer induces trained immunity and decreases respiratory infections.

BCG is recommended as intravesical immunotherapy to reduce the risk of tumor recurrence in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Currently, it is unknown whether intravesical BCG application induces trained immunity.

Short-Term and Long-Term Morbidity after Radical Cystectomy in Patients with NMIBC and Comparison with MIBC: Identifying Risk Factors for Severe Short-Term Complications.

RC represents a viable treatment option for certain NMIBC patients. However, studies investigating morbidity in the context of RC for NMIBC are scarce. The goal of the current study was to assess and compare morbidity after RC performed in patients with NMIBC and patients with MIBC and to identify risk factors for severe short-term complications.

Treatment Rechallenge with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma - Beyond the Abstract

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the therapeutic landscape of advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC). ICIs can prolong overall survival (OS) in patients with aUC after platinum-based chemotherapy (either as switch maintenance or salvage therapy).

Long-Term Outcome of Patients with Stage II and III Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Bladder Cancer after Multimodality Approach. Which Is the Best Option?

Background and Objectives: There is no consensus regarding the optimal therapy sequence in stage II and III bladder cancer. The study aimed to evaluate the long-term oncologic outcomes in patients with bladder cancer after a multimodality approach.

Web-Based Nomograms for Overall Survival and Cancer-Specific Survival of Bladder Cancer Patients with Bone Metastasis: A Retrospective Cohort Study from SEER Database.

Our study aimed to explore the prognostic factors of bladder cancer with bone metastasis (BCBM) and develop prediction models to predict the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of BCBM patients.

Transcriptomic Changes Associated with IFN-Gamma Treatment in Bladder Cancer - Expert Commentary

Intravesical instillation of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a standard treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). BCG is thought to act by activating inflammatory processes, local infiltration of immune cells, and stimulating interferon-gamma (IFNγ) secretion from lymphocytes. IFNγ can augment tumor-specific immunity and has been shown to increase in urine after BCG treatment. Baker et al. aimed to characterize the gene expression changes associated with innate and IFN-induced immune signaling in bladder cancer.

Diagnosis, treatment and survival from bladder, upper urinary tract and urethral cancers: Real world findings from NHS England between 2013 and 2019.

We report NHS England data for patients with bladder cancer (BC), upper tract urothelial (UTUC: renal pelvic and ureteric) and urethral cancers from 2013 to 2019.

Hospital episode statistics, waiting times and cancer registrations were extracted from NHS Digital.

Prognosis of Primary Papillary Ta Grade 3 Bladder Cancer in the Non-muscle-invasive Spectrum.

Ta grade 3 (G3) non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is a relatively rare diagnosis with an ambiguous character owing to the presence of an aggressive G3 component together with the lower malignant potential of the Ta component.
