Article Synopsis
- The study looks at how the size of the prostate affects patients’ recovery and symptoms after a surgery called RASP, which helps treat an enlarged prostate (BPH).
- They reviewed 25 articles and found that patients with smaller prostates had worse symptoms before surgery but improved more after, while those with larger prostates still had some moderate symptoms.
- The researchers concluded that RASP is a safe and effective surgery for treating BPH, but more studies are needed to understand how prostate size influences the results.
Background: En bloc resection of bladder tumor (ERBT) is an established surgical treatment method for patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) in tumors less than 3 cm. Data regarding the efficacy and safety of ERBT on larger than 3 cm tumors are sparse and its efficacy compared to conventional transurethral resection (TURBT) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to prospectively compare the feasibility, safety and oncological outcomes of laser (Tm-fiber) ERBT and TURBT in patients with primary bladder lesions ≥3 cm.

Yet, many patients, especially those with advanced age and multiple comorbidities, do not receive treatment with curative intent. We evaluated the disease course and health care burden of these patients.

- A study assessed the outcomes of patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who had transurethral resection using either sterile water or glycine for irrigation, focusing on tumor recurrence and progression.
- Researchers reviewed records of 530 patients and found that after matching, those treated with sterile water had significantly lower rates of recurrence (43%) and progression (85%) compared to those treated with glycine (71% and 94%, respectively).
- The study concluded that sterile water is linked to higher recurrence and progression rates, likely due to a weaker immune response compared to glycine, which induced more markers of immunogenic cell death.
