ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of simultaneous transurethral resection of bladder cancer and prostate (TURBT+TURP) in the treatment of bladder cancer with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). MethodsWe searched PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP from inception to January 2015, to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies investigating the efficacy and safety of TURBT with TURP in the treatment of bladder cancer with BPH. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk bias of included studies, and then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. Results3 A total of 3 RCTs (n=137) and 10 retrospective cohort studies (n=998) were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that there were no significant differences between the simultaneous resection group and the control group in the overall recurrence rate (RCT:OR=0.55, 95% CI:0.24 to 1.24, P=0.15; retrospective cohort study:OR=0.78, 95% CI:0.60 to 1.01, P=0.06), postoperative recurrence rate in the prostatic fossa/urethra (RCT:OR=1.40, 95% CI:0.28 to 7.60, P=0.68; retrospective cohort study:OR=1.36, 95% CI:0.49 to 3.74, P=0.55), progression rate (OR=0.93, 95% CI:0.53 to 1.61, P=0.79) and overall perioperative complication rate (RCT:OR=0.35, 95% CI:0.08 to 1.55, P=0.17; retrospective cohort study:OR=0.1.75, 95% CI:0.44 to 6.98, P=0.43). ConclusionCompared with only TURBT or sequential TURBT and TURP, simultaneous TURBT and TURP do not increase the overall recurrence rate, postoperative recurrence rate in the prostatic fossa/urethra, progression rate and overall postoperative complication rate. However, due to the limited quality and quantity of included studies, larger sample size and higher quality RCTs are needed to verify the above conclusion.
Objective To assess the efficacy and the treatment-induced side effects of intravesically administered Epirubicin (EPI) following TUR in patients with Ta and T1 superficial bladder cancer compared to TUR alone. Methods According to the Cochrane reviewer’s handbook, included studies were those on patients with histologically confirmed Ta and T1 bladder cancer. EPI and EPI derivatives, dose and schedule would be considerd appropriate for inclusion. The search strategy was developed according to the Collaborative Review Group search strategy. Medline, EMbase, CBMdisc and the Cochrane library, articles of conference proceedings, and academic collections were searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCT comparing intravesical EPI following TUR with TUR alone. Data were extracted from each identified paper independently by two reviewers. Trials were assessed for quality according to the method of Jadad scale. RevMan4.2 software developed by the Cochrane Collaboration was used for satistical analysis. Results Two hundred and thirteen related articles were identified, but only 10 were included in our systematic review. 3 articles were high quality and the rest were low. The pooled RR=1.51 (95%CI 1.32 to 1.72) and the pooled RR=1.49 (95%CI 1.35 to 1.66) in patients with Ta and T1 bladdercancer at 1 and 2 years respectively; The pooled RR=1.34 (95%CI 1.22 to 1.48) when comparing relative efficacy of intravesical EPI (drug doselt;50 mg) following TUR with TUR alone; The pooled RR=1.63 (95%CI 1.48 to 1.79) when comparing relative efficacy of intravesical EPI (drug dosegt;50 mg) following TUR with TUR alone. RR=1.49 (95%CI 1.33 to 1.66) and RR=1.56 (95%CI 1.36 to 1.84) when comparing relative efficacy of single intravesical EPI following TUR with TUR alone respectively. RR=0.79 (95%CI 0.53 to 1.17) when comparing the incidence of disease progression of intravesical doxorubicin following TUR with TUR alone. RR=4.34 (95%CI 2.62 to 7.19) when comparing side effect of intravesical EPI following TUR with TUR alone. Conclusions Intravesically administered EPI following TUR in patients with Ta and T1 superficial bladder cancer may reduce the incidence of tumour recurrence, but cannot reduce the incidence of disease progreesion. Intravesically administered EPI following TUR has some side effects but can be tolerated and has no influence on the life of patients.
Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers of the urinary system. Baesd on the involvement of the blandder muscle or not, bladder cancer can be generally classified into muscule-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) and non-MIBC. Cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy is the standard treament recommended by current guidelines for MIBC. Based on the good efficacy of immunocheckpoint inhibitors in advanced bladder cancer. More and more studies have explored the safety and efficacy of immunotherapy in MIBC neoadjuvant therapy, and analyzed biomarkers to explore the benefit groups. This article reviews the latest progress of various neoadjuvant immunomonotherapy in MIBC, and prospect the future direction of development.
Bladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the urinary system. The standard treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is the radical cystectomy combined with pelvic lymphadenectomy. In recent years, radiotherapy has played an important role in the MIBC bladder-preserving treatment model. This article will review the advances in the application of radiotherapy for bladder preservation in MIBC, and introduce the application progress of radiotherapy in trimodality therapy of adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy after transurethral resection of bladder tumors, radical radiotherapy, preoperative radiotherapy, radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy, the development and challenges of radiotherapy technology, and radiotherapy-related adverse reactions. The aim of this article is to provide a reference for further exploration of a more scientific and effective comprehensive treatment mode for bladder preservation.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Methods China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chongqing VIP, Wanfang, SinoMed, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched from the establishment of databases until December 2023. All randomized controlled trials of TACE combined with TURBT for MIBC were collected and subjected to meta-analysis using RevMan 5.4 software. Results A total of 7 studies were included, involving 490 patients, with 246 in the TACE+TURBT group and 244 in the TURBT group. The meta-analysis results showed that compared with TURBT, TACE+TURBT had certain advantages in reducing recurrence rate [relative risk (RR)=0.49, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.35, 0.68)], improving survival rate [RR=1.16, 95%CI (1.07, 1.27)], shortening surgical time [standardized mean difference (SMD)=−4.97, 95%CI (−7.54, −2.40)], reducing intraoperative bleeding [SMD=−4.19, 95%CI (−5.78, −2.60)], and improving quality of life [SMD=4.51, 95%CI (2.15, 6.86)]. The adverse reactions of the two groups were similar. Conclusions Existing evidence suggests that TACE may reduce intraoperative bleeding and shorten surgical time to help achieve maximum TURBT. TACE combined with TURBT may be superior to simple TURBT in terms of tumor recurrence rate and survival rate. TACE combined with TURBT can benefit MIBC patients in bladder-preserving treatment plans.
Bladder cancer is a common malignant tumor of the urinary system. The incidence and mortality of bladder cancer in China have been at a high level. In the past, people generally believed that the bladder was a sterile environment, but it has been found that there are symbiotic microorganisms in the bladder. In addition, microorganisms and their metabolites in urine may be involved in the occurrence and development of various urinary system diseases such as bladder cancer. At the same time, microorganisms and their component products such as Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine play an important role in the treatment of bladder cancer. This article reviews the research progress of urinary tract microorganisms and the occurrence, development and treatment of bladder cancer, and aims to provide new ideas for the early diagnosis and treatment, prevention and prognosis evaluation of bladder cancer.
ObjectivesTo evaluate the effects of Q-syte separating film needleless closed transfusion connector in flushing chamber of three-cavity urethral catheter.MethodsTo retrospectively analyze the patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor for non muscle-invasive bladder cancer from January 2015 to July 2016 in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University. After terminating the continuous bladder irrigation, the observed group used Q-syte separating film needleless closed transfusion connector to seal the flushing chamber of three-cavity urethral catheter, and control group used conditional approach to connect drainage bag. The degree of comfort and satisfaction of patients, urinary tract infection, time of stopping bladder irrigation and bladder perfusion time between two groups were assessed.ResultsA total of 88 patients were included involving 63 (72%) males and 25 (28%) females with a mean age of 60.2±4.7 years. There were no significant differences between two groups in age, gender, BMI, and complications (P>0.05). Compared to control group, case group had higher level of comfort degree (mild discomfort: 86.4% vs. 25.0%, P<0.001; moderate discomfort: 13.6% vs. 52.3%, P<0.001; severe discomfort: 0.0% vs. 22.7%, P=0.001), satisfaction degree (97.9±2.1 vs. 84.5±3.9, P<0.001), and lower rates of urinary tract infection (11.4% vs. 29.5%, P=0.034). In addition, the case group spent shorter time in terminating bladder irrigation (50.48±1.78 vs. 207.74±5.41, P<0.001) and bladder perfusion (141.47±3.25 vs. 205.35±5.17, P<0.001). All differences were statistical significance.ConclusionsApplication of Q-syte separating film needleless closed transfusion connector for sealing flushing chamber of three-cavity urethral catheter after continuous bladder irrigation could promote the degree of comfort and satisfaction of patients, and decrease the rate of urinary tract infection, as well as the working efficiency of health care professionals.
ObjectiveTo investigate the expression and clinical significance of HIST1H1B gene in bladder cancer.MethodsInformation on HIST1H1B in the dataset GSE13507 was downloaded from the GEO database. Discrepancy in expression of HIST1H1B in normal tissues and bladder cancer tissues was analyzed by t-test. Survival analysis was performed by using Log-rank algorithm. The association between HIST1H1B gene expression and clinicpathological features was analyzed using Chi-square test. Gene enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to explore possible pathways of HIST1H1B involved in bladder cancer.ResultsHIST1H1B was down-regulated in normal tissues and highly expressed in bladder cancer tissues (P=0.002 5). The expression of HIST1H1B was associated with age, gender, T stage, M stage, N stage, disease stage, but not associated with invasiveness and progression. Whether in overall survival (HR=1.732, 95%CI 1.070 to 2.803) or tumor-specific survival (HR=2.000, 95%CI 0.996 to 4.017), patients with high expression of HIST1H1B were significantly lower than that in patients with low expression (P<0.05). GSEA results showed that HIST1H1B may influence the occurrence and development of bladder cancer by regulating MYC signaling pathway V2, G2M checkpoint, E2F signaling pathway, spermatogenesis, mitotic spindle, etc.ConclusionsHIST1H1B may be a biomarker for determining the prognosis of bladder cancer and a target for treatment of bladder cancer.
