Article Synopsis
- 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.
