Feasibility of photodynamic diagnosis for challenging TUR- Bt cases including muscle invasive bladder cancer, BCG failure or 2nd-TUR.
BACKGROUND Despite widely adopted standard methods for follow-up including cystoscopy plus cytology, recurrence rates of non muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) have not improved over the past decades, still ranging from 60% through 70%. Hence, widely acceptable surveillance strategies with excellent sensitivity are needed. Early recurrence has led to the development of a novel cystoscopy te...
متن کامل[Bladder preservation by chemoradiotherapy in combination with radical TUR-Bt in muscle invasive bladder cancer].
PURPOSE To evaluate bladder preservation protocol by radical TUR-Bt and subsequent concurrent chemoradiotherapy in muscle invasive bladder cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-six patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (T2-T4NOM0) were treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy after transurethral resection of the tumor as much as possible beyond muscle layers. Chemotherapy was consisted ...
متن کاملEfficacy of transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TUR-BT) for huge bladder cancer.
There are no guidelines regarding whether to perform either a radical transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TUR-BT) or a total cystectomy after TUR biopsy for huge bladder cancer, and this decision is entrusted to each institution. Of 439 patients in whom TUR-BT was performed from 2005 through 2009, the weight of the total resected volume was > 50 g in 6 patients, and among these 6 pati...
متن کاملTechnique of TUR of Bladder Tumours: Value of Repeat TUR and Random Biopsies
Of all the patients who present with bladder cancer, approximately 75–85% present with disease confined to the mucosa (stage Tis carcinoma in situ [CIS] or stage Ta) or submucosa (stage T1). These groups of bladder cancer are referred to as non–muscleinvasive or superficial bladder cancer, in contrast with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (stage T2, or advanced stage T3–T4). These anatomic classi...
متن کاملIs T1G3 bladder cancer having a definite muscle layer in TUR specimens a highly progressive disease?
OBJECTIVE Patients with T1G3 bladder cancer are at high risk of progression to muscle-invasive cancer, and early cystectomy is considered as a treatment option in this particular situation. On the other hand, understaging of T1G3 bladder cancer has been gradually proven as second or repeat transurethral resection (TUR) has been widely applied. To evaluate the real rate of progression, we invest...
