Impact of late effects after treatment for bladder cancer with radical cystectomy on Quality of life: a case-control study.

Background And Purpose: The gold standard when treating muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is radical cystectomy (RC), a procedure that holds the potential to affect the function of several pelvic organs, causing an impact on the patient's Quality of Life (QoL). Knowledge of the late effects following bladder cancer and treatment with RC is sparse. The aim is to describe the incidence of late effects and to investigate the impact on QoL.

Patient-Reported Outcomes after Laser Ablation for Bladder Tumours Compared to Transurethral Resection-A Prospective Study.

The standard procedure for diagnosis and treatment of bladder tumours, transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT), is associated with a complication rate of up to 26% and potentially has severe influence on patient-reported outcomes (PRO). Outpatient transurethral laser ablation (TULA) is an emerging new modality that is less invasive with a lower risk of complications and, thereby, possibly enhanced PRO. We collected PRO following transurethral procedures in treatment of bladder tumours to evaluate any clinically relevant differences in symptoms and side effects.

DaBlaCa-16: Retrosigmoid Versus Conventional Ileal Conduit in Robot-assisted Radical Cystectomy, the MOSAIC Randomized Controlled Trial-Feasibility and 90-day Postoperative Complications.

Background: Approximately 15% of patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) develop benign ureteroenteric strictures. Of these strictures, the majority are located in the left ureter. To lower the rate of strictures, a retrosigmoid ileal conduit has been suggested.

Potential candidates for en bloc resection among patients with primary and recurrent bladder tumours.

Introduction: Transurethral resection (TURB) is the gold standard treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). However, conventional TURB is possibly part of the mechanism leading to the high recurrence rate in NMIBC and the need for repeated procedures, as the method with piecemeal resection of the tumour violates basic oncological principles and compromises pathological examination. En bloc resection (EBR) could potentially overcome these flaws by improving pathological quality and thereby reducing the need for re-resections and could potentially also lower the risk of tumour seeding leading to early recurrences.
