Introduction: The popularity of robot-assisted radical cystectomy over open radical cystectomy has been increasing because the former, a minimally invasive surgery, contributes to earlier recovery and shorter hospitalization. However, atypical recurrences may be more frequent after robot-assisted radical cystectomy than after open radical cystectomy. We report a case of an atypical early recurrence of bladder cancer including the descending colon.
Case Presentation: A 70-year-old Japanese man underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Four months later, he was hospitalized for severe anemia (hemoglobin, 5.1 g/dL). Colonoscopy revealed a 4-cm submucosal oozing tumor in the descending colon. Computed tomography revealed multiple recurrent lesions including recurrence in the descending colon, all of which disappeared completely after chemotherapy with six cycles of dose-dense methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin.
Conclusion: We encountered a rare case of an atypical recurrence of bladder cancer in the colon after robot-assisted radical cystectomy.

Purpose: Combinations of immune checkpoint inhibitors and nab-paclitaxel have improved outcomes in advanced urothelial carcinoma and muscle-invasive bladder cancer. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of tislelizumab combined with low-dose nab-paclitaxel in extensive very high-risk (VHR) non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
Patients And Methods: TRUCE-02 was a single-arm phase 2 trial that included 63 patients with visually incomplete resection and/or high-volume high-grade T1 tumors (with or without carcinoma in situ), who were ineligible for or declined radical cystectomy.

Purpose: To compare the outcomes of using prophylactic direct oral anti-coagulants (DOAC) and low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) after major urologic surgery.
Materials And Methods: Systematic literature searches of MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL were performed up to 9 November 2023, and protocols were registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024494424). The primary outcomes were post-operative incidence of VTE and bleeding.
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.

Muscle-invasive bladder cancer and subsequent radical cystectomy with ureterocutaneostomy significantly impact patients' body image and quality of life, potentially increasing the risk of adverse mental health outcomes. Acceptance may represent a psychosocial resource to buffer the effects of body image impairment on health, thereby supporting stoma adjustment and preserving quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of stoma acceptance in the relationship between body image distress and mental health.
