A Systematic Review on the Current Landscape of T1 Bladder Cancer Substaging.

Objective: To conduct a systematic review on the current state of T1 bladder tumor substaging. These neoplasms display significant heterogeneity in oncological behavior and prognosis, leading to the proposal of various substaging methods. Our aim was to investigate the potential diagnostic and prognostic value of substaging in stage T1 bladder cancer for better oncologic outcomes.

[Prognostic factors of mortality in patients with urothelial bladder tumor treated with radical cistectomy.].

Introduction: Radical cystectomy (RC) with pelvic lymphadenectomy is the treatment of choice in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).

Objective: To identify clinical and pathological variables that influence global mortality (GM) and cancer specific mortality (CSM) in patients with urothelial bladder tumor (UBT) treated with RC. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 517 patients diagnosed with UBT and treated with RC between 1986 and 2009.

[Prognostic factors predicting failure of the trial without catheter after tamsulosin in patients with acute urinary retention.].

Objective: To analyze prognostic variables that impact on the trial without catheter after tamsulosin in patients with acute urine retention.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of a prospective database of a cohort of successive patients with acute urinary retention due to benign prostatic hyperplasia attended at the urology emergency room during one year time period. We analyzed the clinical and radiological characteristics and the international prostatic symptom score questionnaire of a total 65 male patients.

Robotic assisted radical cystectomy: oncological safety.

Objectives: To describe the quality parameters established based on surgical and pathological aspects of bladder carcinoma treatment in the study published by the Bladder Cancer Collaborative Group (BCCG) and compare them against the publications of the International Robotic Cystectomy Consortium (IRCC).

Methods: A MEDLINE database search for articles published by BCCG and IRCC and description of them.

Results: Margins: IRCC work globally presented 6.

[Mondor's syndrome. Case review and bibliographic review].

Objective: We review the presentation, diagnosis and treatment of Mondor's disease of the penis, with the contribution of a new clinical case.

Methods: A 43-year-old male reported to the emergency room with preputial inflammation and edema associated to swelling of the dorsal region of the penis for the previous three weeks.

Results: Doppler ultrasound revealed thrombosis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis, associated to candidiasic balanitis.

[Response to adjuvant chemotherapy after radical cystectomy in patients with infiltrative bladder: Analysis of 397 cases].

Objectives: To define the usefulness of adjuvant chemo-therapy in patients with pT2, pN0, pT3-4, pN0 and pN+ disease.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 397 patients with transitional bladder cancer who underwent radical cys-tectomy between 1986 and 2005. Adjuvant chemo-therapy was administered to 40.
