Article Synopsis
- This study reports on survival outcomes following radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer in Finland, using data collected from 2005 to 2017.
- It included 2047 patients, finding a 30-day and 90-day mortality of 1.3% and 3.8%, with overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates significantly varying according to the pathological staging (pT-category).
- The results showed that while surgical volume did not impact mortality or long-term survival, contemporary survival rates from Finland are comparable to those from high-volume single-center studies.
Article Synopsis
- In 2020, the European Association of Urology introduced a new classification system named EAUiaiC to better grade intraoperative adverse events during urology surgeries, specifically aimed at kidney tumor procedures.
- A study was conducted in Finland reviewing 749 radical and 531 partial nephrectomies to validate the EAUiaiC, finding that 13.8% of radical nephrectomy patients and 6.4% of partial nephrectomy patients experienced intraoperative adverse events, primarily due to bleeding.
- The results showed significant links between adverse events and factors like tumor size and surgical approach, highlighting that the EAUiaiC classification is effective in identifying risks, with bleeding being a critical concern in
Background: There is huge variation in Clavien-Dindo (CD) complication rates in urology. We sought to optimize the use of the CD system in kidney tumor surgery.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1,286 patients undergoing kidney tumor operations in 12 Finnish hospitals during 2016-2017.
Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is underutilized in the treatment of bladder cancer (BC).
Objective: To investigate the effect of NAC on the risk of surgical complications for radical cystectomy (RC) in a population-based setting.
Design, Setting, And Participants: All radical cystectomies performed in Finland during 2005-2014 were included in the study.
