Interleukin-31 is a crucial cytokine triggering inflammation which could be one of the risk factors of tumors. However, data for correlation between IL-31 and tumors are limited. The purpose of our study was to discuss whether genetic polymorphisms of IL-31 were associated with the susceptibility and clinical outcomes of bladder cancer. Our study enrolled 478 controls, 156 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and 138 muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used for genotyping two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IL-31 gene including rs7977932 and rs4758680. Our results showed that A allele and CA/AA genotypes of rs4758680 were associated with susceptibility to bladder cancer (P = 0.04, OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.01-1.72, and P = 0.02, OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.05-1.96, respectively), and G allele of rs7977932 might be a protect factor for tobacco smoking patients compared with non-smoking patients (P = 0.005, OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.23-0.76). Furthermore, CA/AA genotypes of rs4758680 might be the independent risk factors for the decreased recurrence-free survival of the patients with MIBC (P = 0.03, OR 2.02, 95% CI 1.06-3.85. Our data indicated that polymorphisms of IL-31 are associated with bladder cancer, and rs4758680 could be an independent prediction for MIBC patients with a high risk of recurrence.

Background And Objective: There is an established association between secondary bladder cancers (SBCs) and radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer (PC), which remains a significant concern. Our aim was to update the evidence on SBC incidence across different RT modalities and to compare oncological outcomes for patients diagnosed with SBC to those diagnosed with primary bladder cancer (PBC).
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies on SBC following PC.

Purpose: To investigate the association of diabetes mellitus and metformin use with metabolic acidosis risk after radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion for bladder cancer.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study used TriNetX Research Network data. Patients undergoing RC with continent diversion or ileal conduit for bladder cancer were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) and ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) codes.

Radiopharmaceuticals targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) have emerged as a sensitive tool for PET imaging of prostate cancer (PCa) recurrence. Yet urinary bladder activity may obscure the visualization of prostate bed recurrence. Among the Food and Drug Administration-approved PSMA radiopharmaceuticals, F-flotufolastat (rhPSMA-7.

Emerging evidence over the last 20 years has shown that minimally invasive surgical approaches using robotics in performing this highly complex and morbid operation can achieve the same oncological outcomes while reducing complications for the patient.
Objective: This paper aims to present a managerial and leadership roadmap for change to robotic cystectomy for patients with advanced bladder cancer to achieve improved patient outcomes while embracing technological developments in the delivery of cancer care.
Association of Prehabilitation in the Precystectomy Pathway in Patients With Bladder Cancer on Postoperative Outcomes.

Purpose: Prehabilitation in patients with bladder cancer recommended for cystectomy has the potential to improve functional status and outcomes after cystectomy. Prior research has shown that increasing exercise preoperatively can improve strength and quality of life, but research has not yet investigated the impact on length of stay, readmissions, complications and mortality.
Methods: We compared historical controls (2021-2022) for patients with bladder cancer who underwent radical cystectomy at a major academic center to those referred for prehabilitation consultation (2023) on postoperative outcomes, namely hospital length of stay, 30 and 90 day readmission rates, postoperative complications and 90-day mortality.
