Race reporting and disparities regarding clinical trials in bladder cancer: a systematic review.

Purpose: To systematically review the literature to investigate racial disparities among bladder cancer clinical trial enrollees.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted using Ovid, MEDLINE® to identify clinical trials between 1970 and 2020. Articles were reviewed and were included if they assessed race in their outcomes reporting among bladder cancer patients enrolled in clinical trials.

Geographic distribution of racial differences in mortality in muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients: an opportunity for improvement.

Objectives: To determine the geographic distribution of muscle-invasive bladder cancer mortality according to race in the United States (US). African Americans (AAs) have up to two times the risk of bladder cancer mortality compared to Caucasians. Bladder cancer mortality increases exponentially once it invades the muscle.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with Instillation and Dwell for the Management of a Complex Burn: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Research over the last 50 years has led to significant improvements in outcomes for burn victims. Advances in infection control, attenuation of the hypermetabolic response, and new improved surgical approaches have led to decreased morbidity and mortality. Early wound excision eliminates the devitalized tissue, which is the main reservoir for pathogen propagation.
