Health Related Quality of Life in Patients with Bladder Cancer Receiving a Radical Cystectomy. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:5830. [PMID: 38136375 PMCID: PMC10741964 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15245830] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Radical Cystectomy (RC) and Urinary Diversion (UD) is a complex surgery associated with a significant impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, HRQoL assessment is too often overlooked, with survival and complications being the most commonly investigated outcomes. This study aimed to identify the most impaired HRQoL features in patients receiving RC, compared to a healthy population (HP) control, as well as patients' recovery after surgery, differentiating between patients receiving ORC and RARC. Patients with Bca, who were candidates for RC with curative intent, were enrolled in the "BCa cohort". HRQoL outcomes were collected with an EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. These were collected at baseline, and then at 6-, 12- and 24 mo after surgery in the BCa cohorts, and at baseline in the HP cohort. A 1:1 propensity score matched (PSM)-analysis, adjusted for age, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and smoking history, was performed. Between January 2018 and February 2023, a total of 418 patients were enrolled in the study, 116 and 302 in the BCa and HP cohorts, respectively. After applying the 1:1 propensity scored match (PSM) analysis, two homogeneous cohorts were selected, including 85 patients in each group. Baseline HRQoL assessment showed a significant impairment in terms of emotional and cognitive functioning, appetite loss and financial difficulties for the BCa cohort. Among secondary outcomes, we investigated patients' recovery after RC and UD, comparing HRQoL outcome questionnaires between the HP and BCa cohorts at 6-, 12- and 24 mo after surgery, and a subgroup analysis was performed differentiating between patients receiving ORC and RARC with totally intracorporeal UD. Interestingly, ORC compared to RARC provided a major impact on HRQoL recovery across the early, mid and long term. In particular, the ORC cohort experienced a major impairment in terms of symptoms scales items such as fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain and appetite loss. Consequently, comparing ORC and RARC vs. HP reported a major HRQoL impairment in the ORC cohort, possibly defining a benefit of RARC in early, mid- and long-term recovery. To conclude, this study confirmed the undeniable impact of RC on HRQoL. Interestingly, we highlighted the benefit of RARC in early, mid- and long-term recovery, expressed as less impairment of symptoms scales.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent primary liver malignancy, accounting for approximately 90% of all primary liver cancers, with high mortality and a poor prognosis. A large number of predictive models have been applied that integrate multiple clinical factors and biomarkers to predict the prognosis of HCC. Nomograms, as easy-to-use prognostic predictive models, are widely used to predict the probability of clinical outcomes. We searched PubMed with the keywords "hepatocellular carcinoma" and "nomogram", and 974 relative literatures were retrieved. According to the construction methodology and the real validity of the nomograms, in this study, 97 nomograms for HCC were selected in 77 publications. These 97 nomograms were established based on more than 100,000 patients, covering seven main prognostic outcomes. The research data of 56 articles are from hospital-based HCC patients, and 13 articles provided external validation results of the nomogram. In addition to AFP, tumor size, tumor number, stage, vascular invasion, age, and other common prognostic risk factors are included in the HCC-related nomogram, more and more biomarkers, including gene mRNA expression, gene polymorphisms, and gene signature, etc. were also included in the nomograms. The establishment, assessment and validation of these nomograms are also discussed in depth. This study would help clinicians construct and select appropriate nomograms to guide precise judgment and appropriate treatments.

Implementation of a comprehensive prehabilitation program for patients undergoing radical cystectomy. Urol Oncol 2023; 41:108.e19-108.e27. [PMID: 36404231 DOI: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2022.10.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2022] [Revised: 09/11/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coordinated preoperative optimization programs for radical cystectomy (RC) are limited and non-comprehensive. We evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of a coordinated, multi-faceted prehabilitation program for RC patients at a high-volume bladder cancer referral center. METHODS We performed a narrative literature review for prehabilitation in bladder cancer management as of December 1, 2020, with specific emphasis on examining higher-level evidence sources. We selected domains with the highest level of evidence and recruited a multidisciplinary team of experts to design our program. We implemented a comprehensive prehabilitation program with a pre-defined order set as standard of care for all patients undergoing RC beginning February 1, 2021. Demographic and clinicopathologic data were collected prospectively. Rates of adherence to the prehabilitation program services were analyzed using Stata version 13. RESULTS A total of 82 patients were enrolled between February - December 2021, of which 67 (81%) had undergone RC at data cutoff. Mean age was 68 years (SD 11) and 63 (76%) identified as male. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) was utilized in 48 (59%) patients. The mean Charlson Comorbidity Index was 3.8 (SD 2.3). 100% of patients were screened for malnutrition, with 82% consuming nutritional supplements. Fifty-two percent of patients attended physical therapy pre-op. The 30-day and 30- to 90-day rates of complications were 56% and 40%, respectively. Resource length of stay (RLOS) declined after implementation of prehabilitation. CONCLUSIONS Implementation of a comprehensive prehabilitation program at a high-volume bladder cancer referral center is feasible and has a modest effect on resource consumption and complications in our early experience.

Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of red blood cell transfusion and/or inotropic/vasopressor agent infusion during intraoperative and postoperative first 24-hour period on 30-day and one-year survival.
Materials and Methods: In the final analysis, 133 patients who underwent radical cystectomy and urinary diversion surgery between November 2011 and January 2019 were included in this study. Perioperative anesthesia management early postoperative intensive care patient follow-ups were based on.
Results: A statistically significant relationship was found between intraoperative red blood cell transfusion and one-year mortality rates. A statistically significant relationship was found between red blood cell transfusion in the intensive care unit and postoperative 30-day mortality rates. The relationship between vasopressor/inotrope agent infusion in intensive care unit and postoperative 30-day mortality was statistically significant.
Conclusion: In radical cystectomy and urinary diversion, intraoperative red blood cell and/or inotrope/vasopressor drug administration, and red blood cell transfusion within first 24 postoperative hours in intensive care unit are associated with lower survival rates in both early and late periods. Future studies should focus on developing and implementing different strategies for perioperative blood management and maintenance of patient hemodynamics that may affect early and late outcomes.

Abstract
We aimed at characterization of the patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) using the prognostic model (a modified pentafecta). In the multicenter retrospective study, we enrolled 304 patients with bladder cancer (pTis-4N0-2M0) who underwent RC between 2015 and 2020 in experienced centers. The definition of the pentafecta was as follows: no Clavien–Dindo grade III–V complications at 90 days and no long-term complications related to urinary diversion <12 months, negative surgical margins, ≥10 lymph nodes (LNs) resected, and no recurrence ≤12 months. RC-pentafecta achievement rate was 22% (n = 67), varying from 47% to 88% attainment rate for different pentafecta components, and was the lowest for sufficient LN yield. Both 12-month recurrence-free survival (RFS) and cancer-specific mortality were compromised in pentafecta failers compared with achievers (57.8% vs. 100% and 33.8% vs. 1.5%, respectively). The following were identified as crucial predictors of RC pentafecta achievement: modality of the surgery, type of urinary diversion, histological type of bladder cancer, advanced staging, and elevated preoperative serum creatinine. In conclusion, we found that the pentafecta achievement rate was low even in high-volume centers in patients undergoing cystectomy. The complexity of the procedure directly influenced the attainment rate, which in turn led to an increase in cancer-specific mortality rate among the pentafecta failers.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Population-based increases in ageing and medical co-morbidities are expected to substantially increase the incidence of expensive postoperative complications. This threatens the sustainability of essential surgical care, with negative impacts on patients' health and wellbeing. Recent Findings Identification of key high-risk areas, and implementation of proven cost-effective strategies to manage both outcome and cost across the end-to-end journey of the surgical episode of care, is clearly feasible. However, good programme design and formal cost-effectiveness analysis is critical to identify, and implement, true high value change. Summary Both outcome and cost need to be a high priority for both fundholders and clinicians in perioperative care, with the focus for both groups on delivering high-quality care, which in itself, is the key to good cost management.
