Neuromuscular Blockade During Transurethral Resection of Bladder Cancer

Neuromuscular Blockade

Transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURB) for bladder tumor excision is the mainstream treatment. However, the beneficial effects of sugammadex after general anesthesia for TURB have not been thoroughly evaluated. Investigators hypothesized that deep NMB and the use of sugammadex as a reversal agent may be associated with better endoscopic surgical condition and recovery profile compared with moderate NMB during TURB. This study was designed to compare patients with deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) with moderate NMB during transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURB) in terms of surgical condition and postoperative recovery.

Immunological Response to Intravesical BCG Therapy of Superficial Bladder Cancer by Prior Administration...

High-Risk Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

The RUTIVAC-1 study is a Phase I Clinical Trial designed to evaluate the systemic and mucosal immunological response and provide safety information after the use of RUTI® administration to individuals with NMIBC. The study will enroll individuals treated with Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), diagnosed to have high-risk Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and suitable candidates for BCG therapy and who meet all eligibility criteria. Forty individuals will be recruited and randomized 1:1 to receive two subcutaneous shots of 25 μg RUTI® or placebo. After vaccination, individuals will receive the standard induction course, of intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)therapy (weekly BCG for six weeks). 4 to 8 weeks after the last intravesical BCG administration (BCG6) a visit will be performed (Visit 1, end of the interventional phase). Once all participants have performed VISIT 1 immunological assays will be performed and data will be analyzed. At the end of the Interventional Phase the blind will be opened, except for the study physicians who will remain blind during all the follow-up. All the individuals will be followed up for three years since TURBT.

Stage II Breast CancerStage III Breast Cancer21 more

This clinical trial implements a communication intervention to improve patient-oncologist communication in the outpatient medical oncology setting. A communication brochure called the ASQ brochure may help patients prepare for the doctor visit by thinking through the questions that patients and patients' family want to ask the doctor.

RATIONALE: Fiber may lessen bowel side effects caused by radiation therapy. It is not yet known whether a high-fiber diet is more effective than a low-fiber diet in preventing bowel side effects caused by radiation therapy. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying a high-fiber diet to see how well it works compared with a low-fiber diet in preventing bowel side effects in patients undergoing radiation therapy for gynecological cancer, bladder cancer, colorectal cancer, or anal cancer.

Gabapentin in Reducing the Need for Pain Medication in Patients With Bladder Cancer Undergoing Radical...

Bladder Carcinoma

This randomized phase II/III trial studies gabapentin in reducing the need for pain medication in patients with bladder cancer undergoing surgery to remove the bladder and nearby tissue and organs. Gabapentin may reduce the amount of pain medicine required after surgery, improve pain after surgery, and/or reduce the length of hospital stay after surgery.

Effective Dose of Dexmedetomidine for Sedation in Patients Undergoing TURP/TURB Under Spinal Anesthesia...

Benign Prostate HyperplasiaBladder Tumor

Recently many studies reported that intraoperative dexmedetomidine administration undergoing spinal anesthesia give a satisfactory sedation in elderly patients and cause less respiratory depressions compared other sedatives(e.g. benzodiazepine) But the optimal dose of dexmedetomidine for sedative effect in elderly patients undergoing spinal anesthesia was not got general consensus. The investigators hypothesized that the dose requirements would be lower than in elderly patients than young patients. Furthermore, intrathecal small dose opioids enhance the analgesia provided by bupivacaine due to synergistic effects and it would reduce the dose of dexmedetomidine. The purpose of this study was to determine the dose of dexmedetomidine to provide satisfactory sedation undergoing spinal anesthesia with or without additive small dose intrathecal opioids. Elderly patients(65~85 years old) undergoing TURP or TURB were enrolled in this single-blinded study. Forty patients were randomly assigned to receive intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine 6mg coadministered with 20mcg fentanyl or placebo normal saline 0.4cc. After the induction (bilateral T10 sensory level to pinprick within 5 mins of intrathecal drug administration), continuous intravenous dexmedetomidine was started in dose of 0.8, 0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, or 0.2mcg. Successful sedation was defined as OASS score 3 or 4 within 20 minutes of dexmedetomidine infusion. The dose of dexmedetomidine was selected for each patient according to an up and down method. Intraoperative arterial pressure, heart rate, and bispectral index was compared. Postoperative pain score, the time for the regression of sensory and motor was recorded for further analysis.

The Impact of Intravesical Gemcitabine and 1/3 Dose Bacillus Calmette-Guerin on the Quality of Life...

Bladder Cancer

To our knowledge, there are no comparative studies on bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and intravesical chemotherapy addressing quality of life (QoL) issues. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate and compare the QoL of intermediate-risk non-muscle-invasive (NMIBC) patients treated with BCG or gemcitabine.
