Background: This study aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) surgical therapy in patients with bladder cancer (BC), and to provide evidence for the clinical treatment of BC.
Methods: The Embase, Ovid, PubMed, Medline, Springer, and Web of Sciences database were searched to screen articles with clinical controlled trials on LRC treatment of BC. The Cochrane Handbook 5.0.2 software and Review Manager 5.3 software were adopted to evaluate the risk of bias and to perform a meta-analysis of the included articles in this study.
Results: A total of 12 articles were obtained, including 1,283 research cases. The meta-analysis results showed that relative to the control group (Ctrl), the observation group (Observ group) had significantly lower intraoperative blood loss (IBL) after LRC [mean difference (MD) =-458.75; 95% confidential interval (CI): -505.75 to -411.76; Z=19.13; P<0.00001], blood transfusion rate (BTR) (odds ratio =0.36; 95% CI: 0.13-0.94; Z=2.08; and P=0.04), use of analgesics (MD =-24.53; 95% CI: -39.04 to -10.01; Z=3.31; and P=0.0009), and incidence of postoperative complications (Risk ratio =0.58; 95% CI: 0.39-0.85; Z=2.77; and P=0.006). However, and the length of hospital stay could not be shortened (MD =-2.43; 95% CI: -4.83 to -0.02; Z=1.98; and P=0.05).
Discussion: LRC treatment of BC could effectively reduce the amount of IBS, and lower the intraoperative BTR, use of analgesics, and incidence of postoperative complications. Therefore, it could be used in the clinical surgical treatment of BC patients.

This study aimed to investigate the role of myosteatosis, sarcopenia, and perioperative serum biomarkers as independent predictors of major complications within 180 days following radical cystectomy (RC) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). We retrospectively analyzed of 127 MIBC patients who underwent RC between 2013 and 2023 at a single institution. Preoperative body composition was assessed using CT scans at the L3 vertebral level to measure psoas muscle density (PMD), skeletal muscle density (SMD), axial muscle density (AMD), and muscle indices.

Purpose: In the PACE-B study, a non-randomised comparison of toxicity outcomes between stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) platforms revealed fewer urinary side-effects with CyberKnife (CK) compared to conventional linac (CL) SBRT. This analysis compares baseline characteristics and planning dosimetry between the CK-SBRT and CL-SBRT cohorts in PACE-B, aiming to provide insight into possible reasons for differing toxicity outcomes between the platforms.
Methods: Dosimetric parameters for the surrogate urethra (SU), contoured urethra, bladder, bladder trigone (BT), and rectum were extracted from available CT planning scans of PACE-B SBRT patients.

Aim: We aimed to evaluate whether preoperative bladder neck thickness (BNT) measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can guide surgical decisions in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) patients with a small volume (≤30 mL).
Materials And Methods: The clinical data of 403 patients were retrospectively collected. The Kappa consistency test was used to compare subjective (IPSS-voiding) and objective (Qmax) postoperative outcomes.

Purpose: To establish a prognostic model to estimate progression-free survival (PFS) probability in bladder cancer (BCa) patients undergoing partial cystectomy.
Material And Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent partial cystectomy between August 2012 and April 2021 were enrolled. The primary endpoint was PFS during the follow-up.

Although curcumin is a well-known natural polyphenol with many biological activities, its clinical application has been limited by low aqueous solubility and stability. Therefore, curcumin derivatives have been proposed to overcome these limitations and increase anticancer activity. This study tested curcumin derivatives with modified feruloyl moieties ( and ) and the β-diketo moiety () to better understand their anticancer mechanism against human bladder cancer cells.
