Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to assess the prognostic value of various diagnostic immunohistochemical (IHC) markers and develop an IHC-based classifier to predict the disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy.MethodsIHC was performed on tumor specimens from 366 patients with transitional cell bladder cancer. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression model was used to develop a multi-marker classifier for predicting DFS of patients with bladder cancer. The Kaplan-Meier estimate was performed to assess DFS, and unadjusted and adjusted Cox regression models were used to identify independent risk factors to predict DFS of patients with bladder cancer.ResultsBased on the LASSO Cox regression model, nine prognostic markers were identified in the training cohort. Patients were stratified into low- and high-risk groups using the IHC-based classifier. In the training cohort, the 10-year DFS was significantly better in low-risk patients (71%) compared with high-risk patients (18%) (p < 0.001); in the validation cohort, the 10-year DFS was 86% for the low-risk group and 20% for the high-risk group (p < 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression analyses showed that the high-risk group based on the classifier was associated with poorer DFS adjusted by clinicopathological characteristics. Finally, a nomogram comprising the classifier and clinicopathological factors was developed for clinical application.ConclusionThe nine-IHC-based classifier is a reliable prognostic tool, which can eventually guide clinical decision making regarding treatment strategy and follow-up scheduling of bladder cancer.

Project description:BackgroundHydronephrosis is a common finding in patients with bladder cancer. The aim of the study was to appraise the prognostic value of preoperative hydronephrosis in bladder cancer patients undergoing radical cystectomy.MethodsWe conducted a literature search using PubMed and Embase databases in Aug 2018. Summary hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using fixed-effect or random-effects models. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints were cancer-specific survival (CSS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS).ResultsOverall, 13 studies published between 2008 and 2018 including 4,820 patients were selected for the meta-analysis. The age of bladder cancer patients ranged from 27 to 90.4 years, and the overall proportion of males was 72.5%. Preoperative hydronephrosis was reported in 27.4% of patients. The pooled HR was statistically significant for OS (HR, 1.36; 95% CI [1.20-1.55]) and CSS (HR, 1.64; 95% CI [1.33-2.02]), with no heterogeneity among the enrolled studies. Patients with bilateral hydronephrosis showed a poorer CSS compared to those with no hydronephrosis (HR 5.43, 95% CI [3.14-9.40]). However, there was no difference in CSS between no hydronephrosis and unilateral hydronephrosis groups (HR 1.35, 95% CI [0.84-2.14]). Despite a tendency towards poorer RFS (HR, 1.27; 95% CI [0.96-1.96]), the results demonstrated no significant association between presence of preoperative hydronephrosis and RFS after radical cystectomy.ConclusionThis meta-analysis indicates that preoperative hydronephrosis is significantly associated with poorer OS and CSS after radical cystectomy for patients with bladder cancer. Preoperative hydronephrosis has a stronger effect on CSS in patients with bilateral hydronephrosis. The presence of preoperative hydronephrosis not only predicts prognosis, but may also help to identify patients who benefit the most from neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Project description:ImportanceThe value to payers of robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion (iRARC) when compared with open radical cystectomy (ORC) for patients with bladder cancer is unclear.ObjectivesTo compare the cost-effectiveness of iRARC with that of ORC.Design, setting, and participantsThis economic evaluation used individual patient data from a randomized clinical trial at 9 surgical centers in the United Kingdom. Patients with nonmetastatic bladder cancer were recruited from March 20, 2017, to January 29, 2020. The analysis used a health service perspective and a 90-day time horizon, with supplementary analyses exploring patient benefits up to 1 year. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were undertaken. Data were analyzed from January 13, 2022, to March 10, 2023.InterventionsPatients were randomized to receive either iRARC (n = 169) or ORC (n = 169).Main outcomes and measuresCosts of surgery were calculated using surgery timings and equipment costs, with other hospital data based on counts of activity. Quality-adjusted life-years were calculated from European Quality of Life 5-Dimension 5-Level instrument responses. Prespecified subgroup analyses were undertaken based on patient characteristics and type of diversion.ResultsA total of 305 patients with available outcome data were included in the analysis, with a mean (SD) age of 68.3 (8.1) years, and of whom 241 (79.0%) were men. Robot-assisted radical cystectomy was associated with statistically significant reductions in admissions to intensive therapy (6.35% [95% CI, 0.42%-12.28%]), and readmissions to hospital (14.56% [95% CI, 5.00%-24.11%]), but increases in theater time (31.35 [95% CI, 13.67-49.02] minutes). The additional cost of iRARC per patient was £1124 (95% CI, -£576 to £2824 [US $1622 (95% CI, -$831 to $4075)]) with an associated gain in quality-adjusted life-years of 0.01124 (95% CI, 0.00391-0.01857). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was £100 008 (US $144 312) per quality-adjusted life-year gained. Robot-assisted radical cystectomy had a much higher probability of being cost-effective for subgroups defined by age, tumor stage, and performance status.Conclusions and relevanceIn this economic evaluation of surgery for patients with bladder cancer, iRARC reduced short-term morbidity and some associated costs. While the resulting cost-effectiveness ratio was in excess of thresholds used by many publicly funded health systems, patient subgroups were identified for which iRARC had a high probability of being cost-effective.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03049410.

Project description:We sought to determine which parsimonious combination of complete blood count (CBC)-based biomarkers most efficiently predicts oncologic outcomes in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer (BC).Using our institutional RC database (1992-2012), nine CBC-based markers (including both absolute cell counts and ratios) were evaluated based on pre-treatment measurements. The outcome measures were recurrence-free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS). Time-dependent receiver-operating characteristics curves were used to characterise each biomarker. The CBC-based biomarkers, along with several clinical predictors, were then considered for inclusion in predictive multivariable Cox models based on the Akaike Information Criterion.Our cohort included 418 patients. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was the only biomarker satisfying criteria for inclusion into all models, independently predicting RFS (HR per 1-log unit=1.52, 95% CI=1.17-1.98, P=0.002), CSS (HR=1.47, 95% CI=1.20-1.80, P<0.001), and OS (HR=1.56, 95% CI=1.16-2.10, P=0.004). Haemoglobin was also independently predictive of CSS (HR per 1?g/dl=0.91, 95% CI=0.86-0.95, P<0.001) and OS (HR=0.90, 95% CI=0.88-0.93, P<0.001), but not RFS.Among CBC biomarkers studied, NLR was the most efficient marker for predicting RFS, whereas NLR and haemoglobin were most efficient in predicting CSS and OS. NLR and haemoglobin are promising, cost-effective, independent biomarkers for predicting oncologic BC outcomes following RC.Various CBC-based biomarkers have separately been shown to be predictive of oncologic outcomes in patients undergoing cystectomy for BC. Our study evaluated these biomarkers, and determined that NLR is the best CBC-based biomarker for predicting RFS, whereas NLR and haemoglobin are most efficient for predicting CSS and OS.

Project description:IntroductionDespite its proven benefit, studies have reported poor use of perioperative chemotherapy (POC) in bladder cancer patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC). We evaluated POC use in Quebec between January 2000 and September 2016.MethodsUsing provincial health administrative databases, data were retrospectively collected from patients from two years before RC until December 2016 or death. Logistic regression was used to identify variables predicting POC use. Survival analyses were conducted using Cox regression. Analyzed covariates were age, sex, comorbidities, year of RC, residence and hospital region, distance to hospital, hospital type and size, and hospital's and surgeon's RC volume.ResultsA total of 790/4656 patients (17.0%) received POC. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) use increased in recent years: 3.5% (2009), 11.2% (2012), and 20.7% (2015). POC use was increased in patients with recent surgery, a younger age, less comorbidities, residing closer to the hospital of surgery, and a high surgeon's RC volume (p<0.05). For patients treated between 2013 and 2016, a younger age (odds ratio [OR] 0.71; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.64-0.80 per five years), shorter distance to the hospital (OR 0.88; 95% CI 0.77-0.99 per 50 km), surgery in an academic hospital (OR 1.86; 95% CI 1.06-3.29), and recent surgery (OR 1.34; 95% CI 1.14-1.58 per year) independently predicted NAC use. These NAC users had a significantly higher overall survival rate than patients without POC (hazard ratio 0.73; 95% CI 0.55-0.97). Limitations include missing data on pathological staging.ConclusionsNAC/POC use increased in Quebec but was lower compared to most developed countries. Its use was lower in patients residing further from the hospital and in those treated in non-academic hospitals.

Project description:We evaluated the incidence and effect of thromboembolic events (TEEs) in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer treated with preoperative chemotherapy (POC) and radical cystectomy (RC) with pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND). We performed a retrospective review of all patients who had undergone POC followed by RC plus PLND for muscle-invasive bladder cancer from June 2000 to January 2013 (n = 357). The chemotherapy type (neoadjuvant vs. induction), incidence and timing of TEE diagnosis (preoperatively vs. ≤ 90 days postoperatively), and effect of TEEs on clinical outcomes were recorded. Overall, 79 patients (22%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 18%-27%) experienced a TEE: 57 (16%) occurred during POC and 22 (6.2%) were diagnosed postoperatively. Forty patients (11%; 95% CI, 8.1%-15%) required an inferior vena cava filter. We found no significant differences in neoadjuvant versus induction chemotherapy and the risk of TEEs (difference, 3.3%; 95% CI, -5% to 12%; P = .5). No significant difference were found in the rates of POC completion according to the presence of a TEE (difference, 1.0%; 95% CI, -11% to 13%; P = .9). The occurrence of TEE did not significantly affect other perioperative outcomes. The risk of recurrence and overall survival were not associated with TEE on multivariable analysis. We found a high incidence of TEEs (22%) in patients undergoing POC before RC plus PLND, with a 16% incidence in the preoperative period. TEEs in the POC setting leads to invasive procedures; however, we did not find a significant effect on POC completion or postoperative complication risk. Further research is required to determine whether preventative TEE measures during POC can improve clinical outcomes.

Project description:Life expectancy is increasing in many parts of the world. Using proportional hazard models for competing risks, we investigated whether this increase has changed outcomes after radical cystectomy in a sample of 1419 consecutive patients treated between 1993 and 2018. During the observation period, the mean age and the proportion of patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status class 3 or 4 increased, whereas the proportion of patients with heart disease decreased. Competing mortality (causes other than bladder cancer) decreased in all subgroups (hazard ratios [HRs] per year ranged from 0.931 to 0.963) and after controlling for increasing age (HRs ranged from 1.018 to 1.081). In an optimal model resulting from an analysis including age (HR per year 1.048, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.027-1.070; p < 0.0001), comorbidity, tumor-related variables, body mass index, (neoadjuvant and adjuvant) chemotherapy and smoking status, the HR per increment for year of surgery was 0.928 (95% CI 0.886-0.973; p = 0.0019). The effect of year of surgery was greater than the decrease in competing mortality that may be expected with increasing life expectancy (4 yr for females, 6 yr for males).Patient summaryIn a review of data for 1993-2018, we found that death from other causes after removal of the bladder (radical cystectomy) for bladder cancer decreased over time. This decreasing trend might increase the age limit at which bladder cancer patients can benefit from radical cystectomy in the future.

Project description:PURPOSE:Radical cystectomy is a surgical treatment for recurrent non-muscle-invasive and muscle-invasive bladder cancer; however, many patients may not receive this treatment. METHODS:A total of 27,578 patients diagnosed with clinical stage I-IV bladder cancer from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2013 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry database. We used multivariable regression analyses to identify factors predicting the use of radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze survival outcomes. RESULTS:A total of 1,693 (6.1%) patients with bladder cancer underwent radical cystectomy. Most patients (92.4%) who underwent radical cystectomy also underwent pelvic lymph node dissection. When compared with white patients, non-Hispanic blacks were less likely to undergo a radical cystectomy [odds ratio (OR) 0.79, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.64-0.96, p = 0.019]. Moreover, recent year of surgery 2013 versus 2007 (OR 2.32, 95% CI 1.90-2.83, p < 0.001), greater percentage of college education ?36.3 versus <21.3% (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.04-1.44, p = 0.013), Midwest versus West (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.39-1.94, p < 0.001), and more advanced clinical stage III versus I (OR 29.1, 95% CI 23.9-35.3, p < 0.001) were associated with increased use of radical cystectomy. Overall survival was improved for patients who underwent radical cystectomy compared with those who did not undergo a radical cystectomy (hazard ratio 0.88, 95% CI 0.80-0.97, p = 0.008). CONCLUSION:There is significant underutilization of radical cystectomy in patients across all age groups diagnosed with bladder cancer, especially among older, non-Hispanic black patients.

Project description:PurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) in patients with bladder cancer (BCa) treated with radical cystectomy (RC) and develop a survival predictive model through establishing a nomogram.Materials and methodsA total of 203 BCa patients who underwent RC were included in this study. The relationship between the SIRI and overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and clinicopathological features were evaluated. Cox regression analysis was performed to investigate the effect of the factors on the OS and DFS. The results were applied in the establishment of a nomogram. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, decision curve analysis (DCA) curves, and calibration curves were performed to assess the predictive performance and accuracy of the nomogram, respectively.ResultsAccording to the classification of the SIRI, 81 patients (39.9%) were assigned to SIRI grade 1, 94 patients (46.3%) to SIRI grade 2, and the remaining 28 patients (13.8%) to SIRI grade 3. Multivariate Cox regression revealed that a higher SIRI grade was significantly associated with a poor prognosis and served as an independent prognostic factor for the OS [Grade 2 vs Grade 1, odds ratio = 2.54, 95% confidence interval (CI),1.39-4.64, P = 0.002; Grade 3 vs Grade 1, odds ratio = 4.79, 95%CI: 2.41-9.50, P < 0.001] and DFS [Grade 2 vs Grade 1, odds ratio = 2.19, 95% CI, 1.12-4.31, P = 0.023; Grade 3 vs Grade 2, odds ratio = 3.36, 95%CI, 1.53-7.35, P = 0.002]. The ROC and DCA analysis indicated that the nomogram based on the SIRI contained a better predictive performance compared with the TNM stage (AUC = 0.750 and 0.791; all P < 0.05). The ROC analysis showed that nomograms can better predict the 3- and 5-year OS and DFS. The calibration curves exhibited a significant agreement between the nomogram and the actual observation.ConclusionSIRI as a novel independent prognostic index and potential prognostic biomarker can effectively improve the traditional clinicopathological analysis and optimize individualized clinical treatments for BCa patients after RC.

Project description:PurposeThis study aimed to assess the prognostic value of the lymphocyte-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) in patients with bladder cancer (BCa) who underwent radical cystectomy (RC).Materials and methodsBCa patients between 2009 and 2018 were retrieved from our medical center. The predictive value of LCR on survival of BCa patients was evaluated through the Kaplan-Meier survival and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The multivariate Cox regression results were used for conducting the nomogram, which were further verified by ROC, decision curve analysis (DCA), and calibration curves. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to validate our findings.ResultsA total of 201 BCa patients who received RC were included in this study, with 62 (30.8%) patients in the low LCR group and 139 (69.2%) in the high LCR group. Multivariate analysis results revealed that the high LCR group was significantly related to better prognosis and functioned as a prognostic biomarker for overall survival (OS) [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.41, 95% CI, 0.26-0.66; p < 0.001] and disease-free survival (DFS) [HR = 0.40, 95% CI, 0.26-0.66; p < 0.001]. The nomogram processed better predictive capability and accuracy than TNM stage from ROC results (AUC = 0.754 vs. AUC = 0.715), with the confirmation of calibration curves and DCA. The result of PSM confirmed that LCR was significantly correlated with OS and DFS.ConclusionOur finding demonstrates that LCR is a novel, convenient, and effective predictor that may provide vital assistance for clinical decision and individualized therapy in BCa patients after RC.
