Novel mRNA-based Urine Test for Bladder Cancer in Spinal Cord Injury Individuals

Bladder CancerSpinal Cord Injury

Bladder cancer is a well-recognized complication in spinal cord injury (SCI) individuals. The observed incidence rates in SCI individuals are considerably higher compared to the general population. Bladder cancer in SCI individuals tends to present at an earlier age compared to the general population. Furthermore, bladder cancer in SCI individuals is more commonly invasive and at a more advanced stage at the time of diagnosis compared to bladder cancer in the general population. Individuals with bladder cancer commonly present with hematuria and other urinary symptoms. The gold standard for diagnosis is cystoscopy. However in SCI individuals, hematuria may get attributed to catheter irritation or trauma or an urinary tract infection. Furthermore, the bladder wall commonly presents with various changes under cystoscopic examination masking the presence of a bladder wall mass. Thus, diagnosis of bladder cancer in SCI individuals can be complicate. There is a novel test available (GeneXpert® Bladder Cancer Detection, Cepheid International, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) for the measurement of mRNA bladder tumor markers in the urine. The diagnostic accuracy of this test has been investigated in non-SCI individuals with symptoms suspicious for bladder cancer. The test showed high sensitivity and specificity values and is thus a promising diagnostic or screening tool.. However, the diagnostic accuracy of the test has not yet been investigated in SCI individuals. The primary objective of the proposed study is to investigate whether urine mRNA tumor marker levels in spinal cord injury individuals with symptoms and findings suspicious for bladder cancer are a discriminator between individuals suffering from bladder cancer and those not suffering from cancer. Individuals presenting with symptoms suspicious of bladder cancer will undergo ultrasonic and cystoscopic examination of the bladder. An urine sample will be taken, and the bladder will be flushed for collecting a bladder fluid sample. In patients with bladder wall findings suspicious of cancer, a bladder wall biopsy will be taken, according to clinical standard practice. The bladder fluid and the bladder wall biopsy will be submitted for cytology and histopathology examination, respectively. Tumor mRNA levels will be measured in the urine sample.

There is no evidence available about which molecular profiling methods are currently used for cancer patients in Austrian clinical practice. The construction of the registry proposed as a completely independent research endeavor, will be helpful for scientific evaluation and the establishment of highly credible data.

Intracorporeal vs Extracorporeal Urinary Diversion After Robot Assisted Radical Cystectomy

Bladder Cancer

Intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICD) provides superior postoperative outcomes compared to extracorporeal urinary diversion (ECD). The investigators' hypothesis that ICD may provide clinical benefit is based on principles of less bowel and ureteral handling, superior operating room workflow, less exposure to the external environment, and optimal visualization with ICD while utilizing a smaller incision compared to ECD. ICD should have less bowel-related complications, lower pain scores allowing patients to be discharged from the hospital sooner and regain functional independence more quickly.

Propranolol Adjuvant Treatment of Bladder Cancer

Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer (bladder cancer) is the tenth most common cancer in the world, ranking 13th in the number of deaths. There are about 549000 new cases of bladder cancer worldwide, with 200000 deaths and a higher incidence rate in men than in women. In 2013, the incidence rate of bladder cancer was high in China, accounting for 2.02% of all new cases. Bladder cancer has become a major disease threatening people's life and health. Therefore, the exploration of the mechanism of the occurrence and development of bladder cancer and effective drugs has been an important focus of bladder cancer research. The current treatment of bladder cancer is mainly TURBT (transurethral resection of bladder tumour) resection and BCG, chemotherapy adjuvant treatment, but its recurrence and metastasis still exist, so this study aims to explore an effective drug treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of propranolol in adjuvant BCG therapy, and whether propranolol can effectively alleviate the metastasis and recurrence of bladder cancer and improve the survival time after bladder cancer surgery.

Localized Muscle Invasive Bladder Urothelial CarcinomaMuscle-Invasive Bladder Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and tolerability of treatment with concurrent Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) and adaptive radiation therapy. The main objective is to establish the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of bladder preservation therapy treatment with concurrent SG and adaptive image-guided radiation therapy for participants with localized MIBC. Participants will receive the study drug, SG, through an IV once weekly on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day treatment cycle. The first cycle of SG will begin 21 days prior to the scheduled start of radiation therapy. The second and third cycles of SG will be given while the participant is receiving radiation therapy. Participants will be asked to undergo computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pre-and post-treatment. Participation in the research will last up to 5 years, depending on treatment outcomes, with a treatment period of 8 weeks and a study follow-up period of up to 2-5 years thereafter, and a survival follow-up, with only phone call communication from years 3-5.
