Objectives: To assess whether the effect of sarcopenia on neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) toxicity is modified by borderline renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 40-65 mL/min) and whether sarcopenia and borderline renal function are independently associated with NAC toxicity risk.

Patients And Methods: All patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) between 2010 and 2022, with available cross-sectional imaging prior to NAC initiation, were included. Skeletal mass was measured from axial computed tomography images obtained at the level of the L3 vertebral body, using Aquarius Intuition software.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effects of prolonged ischaemia during partial nephrectomy (PN) on kidney function, highlighting a lack of research in this area despite its clinical importance.
  • Among 1371 patients, the analysis focused on 759 who had assessments on kidney function pre- and post-surgery, looking at recovery rates related to ischaemia type and duration.
  • Findings revealed that while warm ischaemia showed a significant negative impact on kidney recovery after 30 minutes, cold ischaemia maintained higher recovery rates, suggesting the need to limit warm ischaemia duration for better patient outcomes.

Background: Although mental health issues among Indonesian adolescents are of growing concern, a psychometrically valid measure of affect in Indonesia to inform related research and prevention and treatment efforts does not exist.

Methods: The present study's aim was to culturally adapt and validate the widely used Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for Children (PANAS-C) among Indonesian adolescents. The original 30-item PANAS-C in English underwent forward and back translations to Bahasa Indonesia (the national language of Indonesia) followed by cognitive interviews with private and public school students ages 12-15 (n = 18).

Article Synopsis
  • Micropapillary variant urothelial carcinoma (MPUC) is linked to higher treatment failure risks and occult lymph node metastasis, impacting outcomes after radical cystectomy (RC).
  • The study evaluated 67 patients with MPUC to see how the percentage of MPUC in tissue samples affects lymph node positivity and patient survival following treatment.
  • Results indicated that a higher percentage of MPUC (≥30%) and advanced clinical stage (≥T2) were significant predictors of lymph node metastasis at RC, with patients having cT1 disease showing the lowest metastasis rates.

Article Synopsis
  • This study reviewed 89 female patients with non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by radical cystectomy between 2012 and 2023, focusing on the impact of clinical staging changes on surgical eligibility.* -
  • Out of the 75 patients with pre- and post-NAC imaging, 8% were clinically upstaged, meaning their disease progressed such that they were no longer eligible for a vaginal-sparing surgical approach.* -
  • The findings suggest that while upstaging occurred infrequently, interim imaging assessments during NAC could help identify patients who aren’t responding to treatment, potentially preserving their eligibility for less invasive surgical options.*

Objectives: Most renal tumors merely displace nephrons while others can obliterate parenchyma in an invasive manner. Substantial parenchymal volume replacement (PVR) by renal cell carcinoma (RCC) may have oncologic implications; however, studies regarding PVR remain limited. Our objective was to evaluate the oncologic implications associated with PVR using improved methodology including more accurate and objective tools.
