RESUMEN

PURPOSE: The International Bladder Cancer Group designated the subgroup that is resistant to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) but does not meet the criteria for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC as "BCG-exposed high-risk NMIBC" to guide optimal trial design. We aimed to investigate the treatment patterns and prognoses of patients with BCG-exposed NMIBC. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective chart review of 3283 patients who received intravesical BCG therapy for NMIBC at 14 participating institutions between January 2000 and December 2019. Patients meeting the criteria for BCG-exposed and BCG-unresponsive NMIBC, as defined by the Food and Drug Administration and International Bladder Cancer Group, were selected. To compare treatment patterns and outcomes, high-risk recurrence occurring more than 24 months after the last dose of BCG was defined as "BCG-treated NMIBC." In addition, we compared prognoses between BCG rechallenge and early cystectomy in patients with BCG-exposed NMIBC. RESULTS: Of 3283 patients, 108 (3.3%), 150 (4.6%), and 391 (11.9%) were classified as having BCG-exposed, unresponsive, and treated NMIBC, respectively. BCG-exposed NMIBC demonstrated intermediate survival curves for intravesical recurrence-free and progression-free survival, falling between those of BCG-unresponsive and treated NMIBC. Among patients with BCG-exposed NMIBC, 48 (44.4%) received BCG rechallenge, which was the most commonly performed treatment, and 19 (17.6%) underwent early cystectomy. No significant differences were observed between BCG rechallenge and early cystectomy in patients with BCG-exposed NMIBC. CONCLUSIONS: The newly proposed definition of BCG-exposed NMIBC may serve as a valuable disease subgroup for distinguishing significant gray areas, except in cases of BCG-unresponsive NMIBC.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Participation in housework and meal preparation are instrumental activity of daily living (IADL) evaluation items that is known to predict prognosis and complications in cancer care. However, these items are often assessed only for females, not for males, in IADL. METHODS: We examined the impact of habit of housework and meal preparation on overall survival (OS) in 1025 Japanese male patients who underwent elective urologic cancer surgery at our institution. The study also used a cohort that was matched by propensity score. RESULTS: We found that patients who did not prepare meals or do housework had significantly shorter OS (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.34, P = 0.005; HR = 5.01, P < 0.001, respectively). Even in the cohort of 448 patients matched by propensity score and adjusted for age, body mass index, comorbidities, performance status, living status, cancer type, stage groups of cancer, and surgical approach, lack of participation in housework was associated with shorter OS (HR = 2.92, P = 0.04) and was an independent predictor of worse OS in multivariable analysis (HR = 5.13, P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS: Males who did not regularly do household chores before elective cancer surgery had worse life outcomes. Doing more daily physical activities, such as household chores like making the bed and cleaning the room, might have a positive impact on survival when fighting cancer.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate the features and benefits of different geriatric screening tools for enhancing the perioperative care of patients who undergo elective cancer surgery using cluster analysis. METHODS: This study was a retrospective, observational analysis of 1,019 consecutive patients who had elective major cancer surgery in the urology department of our hospital from October 2019 to January 2023. Before the surgery, a trained nurse screened the patients using six tools: Eastern Clinical Oncology Group performance status (ECOG-PS), flemish version of the triage risk screening tool (fTRST), geriatric-8 (G8), instrumental activities of daily living, patient health questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2), and simple questionnaire to rapidly diagnose sarcopenia (SARC-F). The study grouped the patients into four clusters based on their scores on these tools and compared their outcomes after the surgery. The outcomes included overall survival, ambulation failure, delirium, and severe complications. The study also examined how each screening tool was associated with the outcomes. RESULTS: Based on their clinical data and screening results, we classified the patients into four groups: Healthy (73%), Depressive (11%), Intermediate (11%), and Unhealthy (5%). The Unhealthy group had the worst outcomes in overall survival (OS), ambulation failure, and delirium, followed by the Intermediate group. In addition, fTRST and SARC-F emerged as significant predictors of OS; ECOG-PS, fTRST, G8, and SARC-F of ambulation failure; ECOG-PS, fTRST, and G8 of delirium; and G8 of severe complications. CONCLUSION: Various geriatric screening tools were found to have the potential to forecast diverse postoperative outcomes.

RESUMEN

In urologic oncology, which often involves older patients, it is important to consider how to manage their care appropriately. Geriatric assessment (GA) is a method that can address the specific needs of older cancer patients. The GA encompasses various assessment domains, but these domains exhibit variations across the literature. Some of the common items include functional ability, nutrition, comorbidities, cognitive ability, psychosocial disorders, polypharmacy, social and financial support, falls/imbalance, and vision/hearing. Despite the diversity of domains, there is limited consensus on reliable measurement methods. This review discusses the role of GA in managing urologic cancer in unique scenarios, such as those necessitating temporary or permanent urinary catheters or stomas due to urinary diversion. A comprehensive GA is time and human-resource-intensive in real-world clinical practice. Hence, simpler tools such as the Geriatric-8 (G8), capable of identifying high-risk patients requiring a detailed GA, are also under investigation in various contexts. Therefore, we conducted a systematic literature review on the G8. Our findings indicate that patients with low G8 scores encounter difficulties with stoma self-care after urinary diversion and have higher risks of urinary tract infections and ileus after radical cystectomy. The utilization of G8 as a screening tool for urologic cancer patients may facilitate the delivery of appropriate and personalized treatment and care.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) having potential Lynch syndrome (pLS) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) of DNA mismatch repair gene-related proteins (MMRPs) and Amsterdam criteria II and explore their clinical characteristics. METHODS: We retrospectively collected the clinical data of 150 consecutive patients with UTUC who underwent surgical resection at our institution between February 2012 and December 2020, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) of four MMRPs (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2) on all UTUC specimens was performed. Patients who tested positive for Amsterdam criteria (AMS) II and/or IHC screening were classified as having pLS and others as non-pLS, and their characteristics were explored. RESULTS: In this study, 5 (3%) and 6 (4%) patients were positive for AMS II and IHC screening, respectively. Two patient were positive for both AMS II and IHC screening, resulting in 9 (6%) patients with pLS. The pLS group was predominantly female (67% vs. 36%; p = 0.0093) and had more right-sided tumors (100% vs. 43%; p = 0.0009) than the non-pLS group. Of the 6 patients who were positive for IHC screening, 4 showed a combined loss of MSH2/MSH6 (n = 3) and MLH1/PMS2 (n = 1). Other two patients showed single loss of MSH6 and PSM2. CONCLUSIONS: AMS II and IHC screening identified pLS in 6% of patients with UTUC. The IHC screening-positive group tends to have relatively high rate of combined loss, but some patients have single loss. AMS II may overlook patients with LS, and a universal screening may be required for patients with UTUC as well as those with colorectal and endometrial cancer.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to develop a new composite score to accurately predict postoperative delirium (POD) after major urological cancer surgery. METHODS: Our retrospective analysis included, in total, 449 consecutive patients who experienced major urological cancer surgery and a preoperative geriatric functional assessment at our institution (development cohort). Geriatric functional assessments included Geriatric 8, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, and mini-cognitive assessment instrument (Mini-Cog). Multivariate analysis was used to identify factors related to POD and combined to create a predictive score. The composite score was externally validated using a cohort of 92 consecutive pancreatic cancer patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and a preoperative geriatric functional assessment (validation cohort). The predictive accuracy and performance of the composite score were evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) and calibration plots. RESULTS: In multivariate analysis of a development cohort, the following factors were significantly associated with POD: a Mini-Cog score of <3 (odds ratio [OR] = 9.5; p < 0.001), disability in the responsibility for medication (OR = 4.1; p = 0.03), and the preoperative use of benzodiazepine (OR = 6.4; p < 0.001). The composite score of these three factors showed excellent discrimination in predicting POD, with AUC values of 0.819 and 0.804 in development and validation cohorts, respectively. Calibration plots showing predicted probability and actual observation in both cohorts showed good agreement. CONCLUSIONS: A combined model of Mini-Cog, a disability in the responsibility for medication, and preoperative benzodiazepine use showed excellent discriminative power in predicting POD.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: We assess whether short-term recovery of urinary incontinence following robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) is associated with postoperative membranous urethral length (MUL) and position of vesico-urethral anastomosis (PVUA). METHODS: Clinical variables including PVUA and pre-and postoperative MUL were evaluated in 251 patients who underwent RARP from August 2019 to February 2021. Continence recovery was defined as no pad or one security liner per day assessed by patient interview at least 6 months follow-up. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess variables associated with continence recovery at 3 months after the operation. RESULTS: Continence recovery rates at 3 and 6 months were 75% and 84%, respectively. Lower BMI (< 25 kg/m2) (p = 0.040), longer preoperative MUL (≥ 9.5 mm) (p = 0.013), longer postoperative MUL (≥ 9 mm) (p < 0.001), higher PVUA (< 14.5 mm) (p = 0.019) and shorter operating time (< 170 min) (p = 0.013) were significantly associated with continence recovery at 3 months in univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis revealed that postoperative MUL (OR 3.75, 95% CI 1.90-7.40, p < 0.001) and higher PVUA (OR 2.02, 95% CI 1.07-3.82, p = 0.032) were independent factors for continence recovery. Patients were divided into 3 groups based on the multivariate analysis, with urinary continence recovery rates found to have increased in turn with rates of 43.7% versus 68.2% versus 85.0% (p < 0.001) at 3 months. CONCLUSIONS: PVUA and postoperative MUL were significant factors for short-term continence recovery. Preservation of urethral length might contribute to continence recovery after RARP.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: The US Food and Drug Administration recently defined the clinical term "bacillus Calmette-Guérin-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer" as a disease state resistant to adequate bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy. There is a significant lack of prognostication for this disease even in patients who have undergone early radical cystectomy. This study aimed to identify the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors in Japanese patients with bacillus Calmette-Guérin-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who underwent early radical cystectomy. METHODS: Data from a large-scale multicenter retrospective study included 2879 patients with highest-risk or high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who received intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin induction therapy between January 2000 and December 2019. A total of 141 patients (4.3%) met the criteria for bacillus Calmette-Guérin-unresponsive disease, of whom 47 (33.3%) underwent early radical cystectomy. Prognostic factors for three clinical endpoints, namely, unresectable lesion-free survival, cancer-specific survival, and overall survival, were identified. RESULTS: The highest-risk status at induction bacillus Calmette-Guérin was associated with short unresectable lesion-free survival (hazard ratio 7.85; P < 0.05), cancer-specific survival (hazard ratio 12.24; P < 0.05), and overall survival (hazard ratio 9.25; P < 0.01). Moreover, extravesical tumors (pathological T3 or T4) on the radical cystectomy specimens were associated with poor prognosis and were found at a higher rate in patients with the highest-risk status at induction bacillus Calmette-Guérin than in those with high-risk status (35.7% vs 21.2%). CONCLUSIONS: The highest-risk status among the pre-bacillus Calmette-Guérin factors was associated with upstaging to extravesical tumors and poor prognosis despite early radical cystectomy procedures. Appropriate decision-making and the correct timing of radical cystectomy are vital to avoid treatment delays and improve outcomes.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility and functional/oncological outcomes of selective tetramodal bladder-preservation therapy in elderly patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. METHODS: This study analyzed 154 patients with non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer who were enrolled into the protocol. After maximal transurethral resection and induction chemoradiotherapy, patients with clinical complete response were offered consolidative partial cystectomy to achieve bladder preservation; otherwise, radical cystectomy was recommended. Postoperative complications, preserved bladder function, and oncological outcomes were compared between elderly (aged ≥75 years) and younger patients (aged <75 years). Frailty and sarcopenia were further assessed as potential factors that could affect the feasibility and outcomes of the protocol. RESULTS: A total of 44 patients (29%) were elderly, and 31 (20%) were frail (modified frailty index 2-3). Sarcopenia was observed in 68 (54%) of 126 eligible patients. Clinical complete response to induction chemoradiotherapy was achieved in 125 (81%) patients, and the bladder-preservation protocol was completed in 107 (69%) patients with consolidative partial cystectomy. Over a median follow-up period of 48 months, 5-year cancer-specific and muscle-invasive bladder cancer recurrence-free survival rates after protocol completion were 98% and 95%, respectively. There were no significant differences in complication rates related to partial cystectomy, preserved bladder function, and oncological outcomes between the elderly and younger groups. Neither frailty nor sarcopenia negatively affected these outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Tetramodal bladder-sparing therapy incorporating consolidative partial cystectomy is feasible and yielded favorable functional/oncological outcomes in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, regardless of advanced age, frailty or sarcopenia. This protocol could be a viable treatment option for such high-risk patient populations.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the significance of the presence or absence of an "inchworm sign" on DWI for the recurrence and progression of T1 bladder cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 91 patients with pT1 urothelial carcinoma who underwent DWI prior to transurethral resection between 2007 and 2016. DWI of the dominant tumors was scrutinized for inchworm signs at b = 1000 s/mm2. The association of the presence of the inchworm sign with progression and recurrence was analyzed; progression was defined as recurrence to stage T2 or higher and/or N+, and/or M1. RESULTS: An inchworm sign was seen in 65 cases (71%), while it was absent in 26 cases. Among the 65, 25 (38%) had confirmed tumor recurrence, while in the remaining 26, 14 (54%) had confirmed recurrence (median time post TURB = 7.9 and 10.1 months for each). At the time of recurrence, the tumor had progressed in one (2%) inchworm-sign-positive and seven (27%) inchworm-sign-negative cases. The progression rate of inchworm-sign-negative cases was significantly higher than that of inchworm-sign-positive cases (hazard ratio = 17.2, p = 0.0017), whereas there was no significant difference in the recurrence rate between two groups. The absence of an inchworm sign and histological grade 3 were independent risk factors for progression (p < 0.001 and 0.010, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The absence of an inchworm sign on DWI was a significant prognostic factor for progression of T1 bladder cancer. Morphological evaluation of DWI signals may therefore be a useful adjunct to preoperative assessment of biological aggressiveness. KEY POINTS: • An inchworm sign is a simple diagnostic criterion that characterizes only the shape of the tumor signal on DWI, and potentially serves as an imaging biomarker to predict clinical aggressiveness. • The absence of an inchworm sign on DWI is a significant indicator of progression of T1 bladder cancer.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Treatment evidence for malignancies metastatic to the prostate in young patients is scarce. Herein, we present a case of prostatic metastasis from testicular cancer treated with induction chemotherapy followed by robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Case Presentation. The patient is a 34-year-old male who underwent radical orchiectomy for a left testicular tumor two years ago and was diagnosed with a mixed germ cell tumor. He was followed up without adjuvant therapy, but symptoms of dysuria lead to suspicion of a prostate tumor, which was diagnosed by prostate biopsy as seminoma of the prostate. After four cycles of chemotherapy, normalization of tumor markers, and tumor shrinkage on imaging, he underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. No recurrence has been observed nine months after treatment. Conclusion: In men with a history of testicular cancer presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms, it is important to consider recurrent prostate metastases.

RESUMEN

Incontinence following total prostatectomy for prostate cancer significantly impairs patient's quality of life. In severe cases, implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) has shown favorable outcomes, enhancing continence by constricting the bulbous urethra. The AUS system consists of a pressure-maintaining balloon, control pump serving as the operational switch, cuff that constricts the urethra, and tubes and connectors that link these components, maintaining a continuous circuit through an internal pressure medium. Most instances of AUS dysfunction are attributed to circuit leaks leading to a reduction in internal pressure, which is identifiable on imaging by fluid accumulation around the circuit, balloon collapse, control pump deformation, and air within the circuit. When the AUS circuit is uncompromised, dysfunction may arise from issues such as the inability to compress the pump due to pain or displacement outside the scrotum or urinary tract obstruction caused by bladder hemorrhage/hematoma. Imaging plays a pivotal role in the evaluation of urinary tract injuries, hematomas/seromas, and infections associated with AUS placement or replacement. Understanding the function of AUS and its appearance on CT imaging is essential for accurately assessing AUS dysfunction and post-implantation complications, guiding clinical decision-making and improving patient care outcomes.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Sarcopenia is a condition of low muscle strength and quantity, severe if low physical performances. The sarcopenia index (SI), calculated by blood levels of creatinine and cystatin C, had been reported to be correlated with skeletal muscle mass and is a potential simple screening tool for sarcopenia. We hypothesized that patients with a low SI, meaning low muscle mass, would have an inflated estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) value based on serum creatinine levels. We also tested the prognostic value of the SI in a cohort of patients who had surgery for renal malignancies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, observational study of 322 patients that had surgery for renal tumors in National Cancer Center Hospital East (Kashiwa, Chiba) between April 2017 and June 2023. We assessed sarcopenia measuring psoas muscle index (PMI), psoas muscle density (PMD), and skeletal muscle area (SMA) by computed tomography. We assessed the association between SI and eGFR before and after surgery. We also assessed the association between SI and postoperative outcome, including overall survival. RESULTS: Of the 322 patients, 211 (66%) were males, with a median age of 69 years. SI had a weak correlation with both PMI and PMD in males (PMI: ρ = 0.25; PMD: ρ = 0.21). In females, SI and PMD exhibited a low correlation (ρ = 0.26), while SI and PMI displayed an insignificant correlation (ρ = 0.19). The correlation between SMA and SI was moderate for both males and females (males: ρ = 0.51; females: ρ = 0.46). After radical nephrectomy, eGFR decreased in 98% of patients with high SI, compared to 69% of patients with low SI. We also demonstrated that low SI predicted poor prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians can recognize the possibility of overestimated eGFR in the low SI group by measuring SI around the surgery. Low SI may also help predict poor prognosis.

RESUMEN

Introduction: The Flemish version of the Triage Risk Screening Tool (fTRST), derived from the Triage Risk Screening Tool for assessing risk of readmission to the emergency department, is increasingly used as a simple screening tool in oncology. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of the fTRST in the context of elective surgical treatment for urologic cancer patients. Methods: We included 886 patients who underwent major urologic cancer surgery at our institution between 2020 and 2022 and underwent preoperative screening, including fTRST. We set the fTRST cutoff at 2 and used propensity score matching and multivariate regression analysis to assess how fTRST affected two postoperative outcomes: ambulation failure and delirium. Results: Of the 886 patients, 693 (78%) had an fTRST score <2, and 193 (22%) had an fTRST score ≥2 (high likelihood of frailty). After matching the groups by propensity scores, we compared the outcomes of 131 patients in each group. We found that the group with fTRST ≥2 had significantly higher rates of ambulation failure (15 vs. 11%, p = 0.03) and delirium (16 vs. 11%, p = 0.008) than the group with fTRST <2. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that fTRST score ≥2 was an independent risk factor for postoperative ambulation failure (odds ratio [OR] = 4.05, p = 0.02), along with age ≥75 years (OR = 6.62, p = 0.02), preoperative benzodiazepine medications (OR = 5.12, p = 0.01), and receiving radical cystectomy (OR = 9.30, p = 0.02). Similarly, for delirium, fTRST score ≥2 was an independent risk factor (OR = 2.88, p = 0.03), along with preoperative benzodiazepine medications (OR = 4.38, p = 0.002). Conclusion: The fTRST might be a screening tool with great potential for identifying patients at high risk for unfavorable postoperative outcomes in elective urologic cancer surgery.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: This study compared the clinical characteristics of patients who had hallucinations and those who did not during delirium after elective cancer surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study retrospectively observed 1137 consecutive patients who had preoperative screening by a trained nurse before elective major urologic cancer surgery in our department. We compared the patient characteristics, including mini-cognitive assessment instrument (Mini-Cog) and Geriatric-8 (G8) scores, between those who developed postoperative delirium and those who did not, and also between those who had hallucinations and those who did not during delirium. RESULTS: Out of 1137 patients, 68 developed postoperative delirium, and 12 of them had hallucinations. A hierarchical cluster analysis based on the G8 and Mini-Cog scores divided the patients into two groups: one with high G8 and cognitive function (36 patients) and one with low G8 and cognitive function (32 patients). Hallucinations during delirium were more frequent in the high G8 and cognitive function group (11 out of 36 patients) than in the low G8 and cognitive function group (one out of 32 patients). Patients who had hallucinations during delirium also had higher preoperative Mini-Cog scores (P = 0.002) and G8 scores (P = 0.03) than those who did not, indicating better cognitive function and less frailty. DISCUSSIONS: We identified a patient population that is prone to hallucinations that preoperative screening tools cannot detect. This suggests the heterogeneity of postoperative delirium and the need for further research.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Intensive treatment is typically considered for very high-risk patients with locally advanced prostate cancer and an expected survival time of 5 years or longer. Herein, we report a case of locally advanced prostate cancer with rectal infiltration treated with laparoscopic total pelvic exenteration combined with transanal total mesorectal excision. Case presentation: A 73-year-old man presented with a ring-shaped mass around the rectum. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer with rectal infiltration and underwent laparoscopic total pelvic exenteration combined with transanal total mesorectal excision following neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy. Twenty-two months postoperatively during ongoing androgen deprivation therapy, no biochemical recurrence was observed. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first report of a laparoscopic total pelvic exenteration combined with transanal total mesorectal excision for prostate cancer with rectal infiltration. We believe this surgery may be considered a new option for high-risk prostate cancer patients with rectal infiltration.

RESUMEN

Introduction: We report two cases where robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and inguinal hernia repair were performed simultaneously. Case presentation: In case one, hernia repair was performed by implantation of 3D Max™ mesh and closure of the peritoneum. Total console time was 156 min, of which hernia repair took 21 min. In case two, hernia repair was performed using Ventralight™ ST mesh. Total console time was 181 min, of which hernia repair took 23 min. Pelvic lymph node dissection was performed in case two but not in case one. Both patients were discharged 7 days postoperatively without severe complications or mesh infection. Conclusion: It may be possible to perform robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and inguinal hernia repair simultaneously.

RESUMEN

The aim of this study is to evaluate the association of perinephric fat volume (PNFV) and the Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score with time to clamping (TTC) in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). The study subjects consisted of 73 tumors in 72 patients who underwent transperitoneal RAPN at a single cancer center between February 2020 and July 2022. Clinical characteristics including R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score, MAP score and PNFV were evaluated in a multivariate analysis in relation to TTC, which was classified into two groups based on median TTC. PNFV and MAP score were analyzed separately. PNFVs were measured by SYNAPSE VINCENT® by a single expert urologist. Median TTC was 67 (range: 36-119) min. Spearman's rank correlation analysis indicated that a significant correlation was observed between PNFV and MAP score with a value of 0.81 (p < 0.0001). Univariate analysis revealed that R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score ≥ 7 (p = 0.036), posterior tumor location (p = 0.033), MAP score ≥ 3 (p = 0.02) and PNFV ≥ 250 ml (p = 0.02) were significant factors for prolonged TTC. In a multivariate analysis including PNFV (analysis 1), R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score ≥ 7 (OR 3.54, p = 0.018) and PNFV ≥ 250cm3 (OR 3.94, p = 0.010) were independent factors for prolonged TTC. Similarly for MAP score (analysis 2), R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score ≥ 7 (OR 3.54, p = 0.018) and MAP score ≥ 3 (OR 3.94, p = 0.010) were independent factors for prolonged TTC. Both MAP score and PNFV may have a significant impact on TTC.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate whether functional screening, as assessed by the Geriatric-8 (G8) and the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL)-modified G8, are associated with the inability to manage a stoma by themselves in patients with bladder cancer who underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed a total of 110 consecutive patients with bladder cancer who underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy and were screened preoperatively using the G8 and the IADL-modified G8 at our institution between January 2020 and December 2022. Patients who could not undergo geriatric screening at the preoperative clinic before surgery and patients who underwent orthotopic neobladder construction were excluded. We evaluated the association between clinical factors, including scores of G8 and IADL-modified G8, and the inability to manage a stoma by oneself. For both G8 and IADL-modified G8, a cutoff value of ≤14 was set. RESULTS: Of the 110 patients, the median age was 77 years, 92 (84%) patients were male and 47 (43%) patients were unable to manage a stoma by themselves. The geriatric assessment indicated that 64 patients (58%) were classified in the low G8 (≤14) group and 66 patients (60%) were classified in the low IADL-modified G8 (≤14) group. The values of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting inability to manage stoma by oneself were 0.725 for the G8 and 0.734 for the IADL-modified G8, respectively. Multivariate analysis including the G8 revealed that age ≥ 80, Charlson comorbidity index of ≥3, and G8 ≤ 14 (odds ratio [OR] = 4.9; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.8-13.0; P = 0.002) were independent risk factors for inability to manage a stoma by oneself. Likewise, multivariate analysis including the IADL-modified G8 revealed that age ≥ 80, Charlson comorbidity index of ≥3, and IADL-modified G8 ≤ 14 (OR = 5.4; 95% CI = 1.9-14.0; P = 0.001) were independent risk factors for inability to manage a stoma by oneself. DISCUSSION: Screening using G8 and IADL-modified G8 may predict patients who have difficulty self-managing their stomas.

RESUMEN

This case series reported on five patients with radiation-recurrent localized prostate cancer (PCa) who underwent salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (sRARP). Median postoperative follow-up period was 8 months. Median (range) peri-operative parameters such as operative time, the estimated blood loss, and length of hospital stay were 127 min (113-158), 61 ml (54-111), and 9 days (8-11), respectively. None of the five patients required conversion to an open approach or required a blood transfusion, or experienced a rectal/ureteral injury. Urinary leakage was present in one patient (20%) at the initial cystogram. Transurethral electrocoagulation under spinal anesthesia was required to control hematuria in one patient (20%). Two patients (40%) experienced biochemical progression; no patient died from PCa or other causes during the follow-up period. Of five patients, three (60%) were continent. For patients with radiation-recurrent localized PCa, sRARP might become a feasible surgical option with acceptable outcomes.
