A study conducted in The Netherlands showed that nearly 45% of patients with bladder cancer had pathologic upstaging after radical cystectomy. Discrepancies between clinical and pathologic staging of ...
There is significant interest in identifying complete responders to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before radical cystectomy (RC) to potentially avoid removal of a pathologically benign bladder.
The extent of the bladder cancer — how far it has spread — matters. Your care team needs to know if your cancer sits on or in the first lining of your bladder (non-muscle invasive), if it goes into ...
The BladderPath study showed mpMRI reduced TTCT by 45 days for MIBC patients, enhancing treatment efficiency without harming non-MIBC patients. Conducted in 17 UK hospitals, the study involved 143 ...
In patients with suspected muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), definitive treatment can be expedited by adding multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) to flexible cystoscopic biopsy at ...
Use of multiparametric MRI for the initial staging of suspected MIBC shortened the time to correct treatment compared with TURBT. Incorporating multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) into the initial staging of ...
N1 Single lymph node metastasis, 2 cm or less in greatest dimension N1 Single regional lymph node metastasis in the true pelvis (hypogastric, obturator, external iliac or presacral lymph node) N2 ...
The term 'Cancer' makes a person freeze the moment they hear it for the first time, and one such type of cancer is bladder cancer. While this may look scary, its timely diagnosis can help in managing ...
Rethinking the Path to Bladder Cancer Staging: Can Magnetic Resonance Imaging Speed Up Time to Receipt of Therapy in Patients With Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer? The following represents disclosure ...
Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is cancer that’s only in the inner lining of your bladder. It hasn’t grown into the muscle wall. Your doctor may also call it superficial bladder cancer, urothelial ...
Using multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) before surgery reduced time to correct treatment by 45 days for patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. The imaging procedure was successful for over 92% of ...
When you learn you have bladder cancer, it’s only natural to ask: "Can I survive this, for how long, and can I expect to be cured?" You may have searched online for survival rate information. These ...
