Recommendations regarding transversal topics applicable to bladder cancer patients independent of tumor grade and stage were established by members of the Spanish Oncology Genitourinary Multidisciplinary Working Group (SOGUG). Liquid biopsy in urine and blood samples is useful in the surveillance of non-muscle-invasive and muscle-invasive bladder cancer, respectively. Multiparametric MRI is an accurate, faster and non-invasive staging method overcoming the understaging risk of other procedures.

Method: This is a prospective, multicenter, longitudinal observational, study carried in 26 hospitals in Madrid, Catalonia, Andalusia, and the Valencia Region. The different docetaxel formulations were characterized in terms of their pH, amount of the active ingredient and impurities.
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the environmental contamination generated during the preparation of cytostatic agents using three different methods through simulations using fluorescein, and the time required for preparation of each method.
Method: A comparative study of the processing of fluorescein mixtures using three types of closed systems was conducted at the centralized unit for hazardous drugs of the Pharmacy Department of a General Teaching Hospital. Environmental contamination was detected in critical points of connection, and in splashes produced at any other points.
Objectives: The level of environmental contamination generated during preparation and administration of hazardous drugs using different valve closed-systems and their combinations was compared. The actual impact on the overall time of preparation of cytostatics and the economic cost of the different modalities were also compared.
Methods: Comparative study of the preparation of fluorescein mixtures with different modalities of valve closed-system combinations.
Purpose: to assess the causes of the Emergency Department visits in cancer patients treated with antineoplastics. The secondary objective is to analyse the use of growth stimulating factors in febrile neutropenia.
Methods: a retrospective observational study was conducted during six months of 2012.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to survey the off-label treatments commonly used in oncohaematology and understand the procedures for authorizing them.
- - The survey revealed that 42.1% of hospitals require prior authorization for over 80% of off-label treatments, with the available evidence being the key factor influencing approval.
- - Findings indicate significant variability in how off-label treatments are utilized and authorized across hospitals, with many lacking clear criteria for determining clinical benefit or cost-effectiveness.
