Comparison of Nerve Stimulating Approach and Interfascial Injection Approach During Sono-guided...

Bladder Cancer

Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURB) has been essential treatment for bladder tumours. Direct electrical stimulation of an obturator nerve during the TURB procedures can trigger an inadvertent adductor muscle spasm, which can cause a serious complication like bladder perforation. General anesthesia with muscle relaxants for TURB does not guarantee a prevention of the adductor muscle spasm. Spinal anesthesia with selective obturator nerve block (ONB) can be an alternative anesthesia for TURB, but adductor spasm can also be induced because of incomplete ONB. Recently, ultrasound guidance with nerve stimulator has been used to enhance the safety, efficacy and shortening the onset time of ONB. Some papers describe that comparable ONB can be done using ultrasound only without nerve stimulator, in which there is a principle that obturator nerve runs along a given pathway. Basically, obturator nerve is divided into two branches after exiting the obturator canal. The anterior branch is located in the fascial planes among adductor longus, adductor brevis and pectineus muscles, and the posterior branch is located between the adductor brevis and adductor magnus muscles at the inguinal area. But it has been known that there are many branching patterns of obturator nerve and high anatomic variability in the inguinal area in a cadaver study. And subdivisions of obturator nerve in the inguinal area have been described. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the success rate of ultrasound-guided obturator nerve block with interfascial injection approach group (US-IFI; experimental group) was comparable to ultrasound-guided obturator nerve block with nerve stimulating approach group (US-NS; control group) in TURB under spinal anesthesia. And we also evaluated adductor muscle twitching patterns at the inguinal region when the ONB was performed.

Radical Cystectomy, Nutrition and Convalescence

Urinary Bladder NeoplasmsCystectomy1 more

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a goal directed nutritional intervention can reduce the convalescence period for patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC). The aim is to examine the effect on quality of life of a standard nutritional strategy of resting the bowel till clear signs of bowel recovery and feeding orally after bowel recovery versus a goal-directed nutritional intervention combining oral intake and parenteral nutrition, in patients undergoing RC.

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.

RATIONALE: Physician-initiated smoking cessation strategies may be effective in getting early-stage cancer patients to quit smoking. PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of a physician-initiated stop-smoking program with the usual care for patients receiving treatment for early-stage cancer.

Preoperative MPDL3280A in Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder

Bladder Cancer

ABACUS is an open-label, international, multi-centre, window of opportunity phase II trial for patients with histologically confirmed (T2-T4a) transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The trial aims to test the efficacy of preoperative MPDL3280A and will include extensive biomarker work on samples from these patients. Eligible patients will receive two 3-weekly cycles of MPDL3280A pre-cystectomy. Following cystectomy, patients will be followed up for safety, survival, and disease data.

Laser Treatment of Bladder Tumors in the Outpatient Department

Bladder Tumors

Primary Objective: To show that small pTa bladder tumors can be removed with diode laser in an outpatient department. Secondary Objective: To evaluate the patients' symptoms during and after the laser TURBT. Tertiary Objective: To evaluate the rate of remnant tumor tissue one month after the laser TURBT.

MDSC Clinical Assay in Finding and Monitoring Cancer Cells in Blood and Urine Samples From Patients...

No Evidence of DiseaseStage II Bladder Cancer3 more

This pilot research trial studies how well myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) clinical assay works in finding and monitoring cancer cells in blood and urine samples from patients with or without localized or metastatic bladder cancer. Studying samples of blood and urine from patients with or without bladder cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer and may help doctors improve ways to diagnose and treat patients.

NeoplasmsLung Neoplasms23 more

Registry participants with advanced malignancy or myelodysplasia will have a sample of their tumor or tissue analysed for genetic alterations using next generation sequencing (NGS) performed in a lab that has been certified to meet a high quality standard. Treatments and outcomes will be reported to the registry to allow further understanding of how genetic differences can lead to better diagnosis and treatments.
