Abstract
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the standard of care for patients with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). BCG in combination with programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors may yield greater anti-tumor activity compared with either agent alone. CREST is a phase III study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the subcutaneous PD-1 inhibitor sasanlimab in combination with BCG for patients with BCG-naive high-risk NMIBC. Eligible participants are randomized to receive sasanlimab plus BCG (induction ± maintenance) or BCG alone for up to 25 cycles within 12 weeks of TURBT. The primary outcome is event-free survival. Secondary outcomes include additional efficacy end points and safety. The target sample size is around 1000 participants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Examine the understanding of terminologies and management patterns of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) in six territories in Asia-Pacific. METHODS This study involved two phases: (1) a survey with 32 urologists and 7 medical oncologists (MOs) and (2) a factorial experiment and in-depth interviews with 23 urologists and 2 MOs. All clinicians had ≥8 years' experience managing NMIBC patients in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan. Data from Phase 1 were summarized using descriptive statistics; content and thematic analyses applied in Phase 2. RESULTS In phase 1, 35% of clinicians defined BCG-unresponsive as BCG-refractory, -relapse and -resistant, 6% defined it as BCG-refractory and -relapse; 22% classified BCG-failure as BCG-refractory, -relapse, -resistant, and when muscle-invasive bladder cancer is detected. If eligible and willing, 50% (interquartile range [IQR], 50%-80%) of BCG-unresponsive patients would undergo radical cystectomy (RC), and 50% (IQR 20%-50%) of RC-eligible patients would receive bladder-sparing treatment or surveillance. In phase 2, we found that 32%, 88%, and 48% of clinicians, respectively, used "BCG-unresponsive," "BCG-refractory," and "BCG-relapse" in clinical practice but with no consistent interpretation of the terms. Compared with EAU definitions, 8%-60% of clinicians appropriately classified 9 tumor types that are persistent or recurrent after adequate BCG. Fifty percent of clinicians mentioned a lack of bladder-preserving treatment that outperforms RC in quality of life as a reason to retreat BCG-unresponsive patients with BCG. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed varied understanding and application of BCG-unresponsive terminologies in practice. There is a need for a uniform and simple definition of BCG-unresponsive disease in Asia-Pacific.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Multiple clinical practice guidelines, conflicting evidence, and physician perceptions result in variations in risk stratification among patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). This study aims to describe the extent of this variation and its impact on management approaches in the Asia-Pacific region. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional survey involving 32 urologists and seven medical oncologists with ≥8 years of experience managing early-stage bladder cancer patients across Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan. The physicians completed an anonymous questionnaire that assessed their risk stratification and respective management approaches, based on 19 NMIBC characteristics. For each NMIBC characteristic, they were required to select one risk group, and their most preferred management approach. RESULTS Our results demonstrated a higher consensus on risk classification versus management approaches. More than 50% of the respondents agreed on the risk classification of all NMIBC characteristics, but 42% or fewer chose the same treatment option as their preferred choice for all but two characteristics-existence of variant histology (55%) and persistent high-grade T1 disease on repeat resection (52%). Across territories, there was the greatest variation in preferred treatment options (i.e., no treatment, intravesical chemotherapy, or Bacillus Calmette-Guérin [BCG] treatment) for intermediate-risk patients and the highest consensus on the treatment of very high-risk patients, namely radical cystectomy. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed considerable variation in risk stratification and management of NMIBC in the region. It is critical to develop practical algorithms to facilitate the recognition of NMIBC and standardize the treatment of NMIBC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate if increased tubular damage biomarker can predict pathologically upstaged renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which may possess sub-radiologic invasive behavior, leading to surrounding tubular damage. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined 1563 patients with surgically resected RCC between March 2016 and June 2021 from the prospective database SUPER-RCC-Nx. Exclusion criteria were cancer not originating from the kidneys, benign renal tumor, and end-stage renal disease. RESULTS Of 1297 patients, 131 had a clinically high T stage (T3-4), whereas 1166 had a low one. Patients with a clinically low T stage were subgrouped into identical-stage (n = 1041) and upstaged (n = 125) groups, who were confirmed as a pathologically high T stage. The upstaged group had older age (p = 0.003), larger tumor size (5.72 ± 3.24 vs. 3.12 ± 2.08, p < 0.001), higher Fuhrman grade (grades 3-4) (57.3% vs. 47.1%, p = 0.032), and higher urine N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase/creatinine (NAG/Cr) (5.13 ± 4.78 vs. 4.05 ± 2.84, p = 0.026). Tumor size (> 4 cm; odds ratio = 10.2, p < 0.001) and urine NAG/Cr (odds ratio = 1.16, p = 0.003) were independently associated with pathological upstaging in patients with normal renal function, while age and tumor size were significant risk factors in those with decreased renal function. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the model using tumor size and urine NAG/Cr strongly predicted pathological upstaging (area under the curve, 0.84). CONCLUSION Urine NAG/Cr may be a useful biomarker predicting pathologically upstaged RCC. Clinicians should be prudent in making management decisions when a large RCC is accompanied by an increased urine NAG/Cr.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Erdafitinib is a pan-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitor approved for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma in adults with susceptible FGFR3/2 alterations who have progression after platinum-containing chemotherapy. The effects of erdafitinib in patients with FGFR-altered metastatic urothelial carcinoma who have progression during or after treatment with checkpoint inhibitors (anti-programmed cell death protein 1 [PD-1] or anti-programmed death ligand 1 [PD-L1] agents) are unclear. METHODS We conducted a global phase 3 trial of erdafitinib as compared with chemotherapy in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma with susceptible FGFR3/2 alterations who had progression after one or two previous treatments that included an anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive erdafitinib or the investigator's choice of chemotherapy (docetaxel or vinflunine). The primary end point was overall survival. RESULTS A total of 266 patients underwent randomization: 136 to the erdafitinib group and 130 to the chemotherapy group. The median follow-up was 15.9 months. The median overall survival was significantly longer with erdafitinib than with chemotherapy (12.1 months vs. 7.8 months; hazard ratio for death, 0.64; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.47 to 0.88; P = 0.005). The median progression-free survival was also longer with erdafitinib than with chemotherapy (5.6 months vs. 2.7 months; hazard ratio for progression or death, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.78; P<0.001). The incidence of grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events was similar in the two groups (45.9% in the erdafitinib group and 46.4% in the chemotherapy group). Treatment-related adverse events that led to death were less common with erdafitinib than with chemotherapy (in 0.7% vs. 5.4% of patients). CONCLUSIONS Erdafitinib therapy resulted in significantly longer overall survival than chemotherapy among patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma and FGFR alterations after previous anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No new agent has improved overall survival in patients with unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma when added to first-line cisplatin-based chemotherapy. METHODS In this phase 3, multinational, open-label trial, we randomly assigned patients with previously untreated unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma either to receive intravenous nivolumab (at a dose of 360 mg) plus gemcitabine-cisplatin (nivolumab combination) every 3 weeks for up to six cycles, followed by nivolumab (at a dose of 480 mg) every 4 weeks for a maximum of 2 years, or to receive gemcitabine-cisplatin alone every 3 weeks for up to six cycles. The primary outcomes were overall and progression-free survival. The objective response and safety were exploratory outcomes. RESULTS A total of 608 patients underwent randomization (304 to each group). At a median follow-up of 33.6 months, overall survival was longer with nivolumab-combination therapy than with gemcitabine-cisplatin alone (hazard ratio for death, 0.78; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.63 to 0.96; P = 0.02); the median survival was 21.7 months (95% CI, 18.6 to 26.4) as compared with 18.9 months (95% CI, 14.7 to 22.4), respectively. Progression-free survival was also longer with nivolumab-combination therapy than with gemcitabine-cisplatin alone (hazard ratio for progression or death, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.59 to 0.88; P = 0.001). The median progression-free survival was 7.9 months and 7.6 months, respectively. At 12 months, progression-free survival was 34.2% and 21.8%, respectively. The overall objective response was 57.6% (complete response, 21.7%) with nivolumab-combination therapy and 43.1% (complete response, 11.8%) with gemcitabine-cisplatin alone. The median duration of complete response was 37.1 months with nivolumab-combination therapy and 13.2 months with gemcitabine-cisplatin alone. Grade 3 or higher adverse events occurred in 61.8% and 51.7% of the patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Combination therapy with nivolumab plus gemcitabine-cisplatin resulted in significantly better outcomes in patients with previously untreated advanced urothelial carcinoma than gemcitabine-cisplatin alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated the effects of intraoperative goal-directed hemodynamic therapy (GDHT) on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing open radical cystectomy. METHODS This prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial included 82 patients scheduled for open radical cystectomy between September 2018 and November 2021. The GDHT group (n = 39) received the stroke volume index- and cardiac index-based hemodynamic management using advanced hemodynamic monitoring, while the control group (n = 36) received the standard care under the discretion of attending anesthesiologists during surgery. The primary outcome was the incidence of a composite of in-hospital postoperative complications during hospital stays. RESULTS A total of 75 patients were included in the final analysis. There was no significant difference in the incidence of in-hospital postoperative complications (28/39 [71.8%] vs. 30/36 [83.3%], risk difference [95% CI], -0.12 [-0.30 to 0.07], P = 0.359) between the groups. The amounts of intraoperative fluid administered were similar between the groups (2700 [2175-3250] vs. 2900 [1950-3700] ml, median difference [95% CI] -200 [-875 to 825], P = 0.714). The secondary outcomes, including the incidence of seven major postoperative complications, duration of hospital stay, duration of intensive care unit stay, and grade of complications, were comparable between the two groups. Trends in postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate, serum creatinine, and C-reactive protein did not differ significantly between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative GDHT did not reduce the incidence of postoperative in-hospital complications during the hospital stay in patients who underwent open radical cystectomy.

Abstract
Objective Lymphatic invasion in prostate cancer is associated with poor prognosis. However, there is no consensus regarding the clinical and prognostic value of lymphatic invasion. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of lymphatic invasion in biochemical recurrence (BCR) and compare the recurrence rates between patients with lymphatic invasion and lymph node metastasis. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 2,207 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) without pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) and 742 patients who underwent RP with PLND for clinically localized or locally advanced prostate cancer, between 1993 and 2020, at Seoul National University Hospital. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to estimate BCR-free survival (BCRFS) using the log-rank test. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify the significant factors for BCR. Propensity score matching was performed with a 1:2 ratio to match age, initial PSA level, pathological T stage, and Gleason score to exclude confounding effects. Results Of the 2,207 patients who underwent RP without PLND, lymphatic invasion (L1Nx) was observed in 79 (3.5%) individuals. Among the 742 patients who underwent RP with PLND, lymph node metastases were found in 105 patients (14.2%). In patients with lymph node metastasis, lymphatic invasion was observed in 50 patients (47.6%), whereas lymphatic invasion was observed in 53 patients (8.3%) among those without lymph node metastasis. In patients who underwent RP without PLND, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed significantly poorer BCR-free survival in the L1Nx group than in the L0Nx group (p < 0.001). In patients who underwent RP with PLND, the L1N0, L0N1, and L1N1 groups showed significantly worse prognoses than the L0N0 group (p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in BCRFS between the L1N0 and lymph node metastasis groups, including the L0N1 and L1N1 groups. After propensity score matching at a 1:2 ratio, the L1Nx group showed significantly poorer outcomes in terms of BCRFS than the L0Nx group (p = 0.05). In addition, the L1N0 group showed a significantly worse prognosis than the L0N0 group after propensity score matching. Conclusion Lymphatic invasion in radical prostatectomy specimens is an independent prognostic factor, which can complement lymph node status for predicting biochemical recurrence. Considering lymphatic invasion as an adverse pathological finding, similar to lymph node metastasis, adjuvant therapy could be considered in patients with lymphatic invasion.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare renal function change by urinary diversion (UD) type (ileal conduit [IC] vs. neobladder [NB]) in patients with a single kidney who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) due to bladder cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated the renal function change in 86 patients with a single kidney who underwent RC between January 1999 and August 2022. Renal function was assessed using serum creatinine, serum estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), eGFR difference value (preoperative and follow-up values), and eGFR difference proportion (eGFR difference value/preoperative eGFR) at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months. In addition, multiple definitions of eGFR decline were evaluated: 10 points, 10%, and 20% decline in eGFR. Cox regression models were used to identify risk factors of eGFR decline-free, recurrence-free, overall, and cancer-specific survival rates. RESULTS A total of 54 patients (62.8%) underwent IC, whereas 32 (37.2%) underwent NB. Baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups except for age and body mass index. Renal functions over time by various methods did not differ significantly between the IC and NB groups. Furthermore, eGFR decline-free survival rate using different definitions was similar between the IC and NB groups. Overall survival, recurrence-free survival, and cancer-specific-free survival rates were not different between the IC and NB groups. CONCLUSIONS UD type (IC vs. NB) did not impact the renal function change of patients with a single kidney who underwent RC. Therefore, patients with a single kidney might be considered to be an indication of NB.

Abstract
PURPOSE About one-third of patients who undergo radical nephroureterectomy (RNUx) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) experience intravesical recurrence (IVR). This study investigated whether pyuria is a feasible predictor of IVR after RNUx in patients with UTUC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seven hundred forty-three patients with UTUC who underwent RNUx at a single institute were analyzed in this study. The participants were divided into two groups: those without pyuria (non-pyuria) and those with pyuria. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed, and p-values were assessed using the log-rank test. Cox regression analyses were performed to identify the independent predictors of survival. RESULTS The pyuria group had a shorter IVR-free survival period (p=0.009). The five-year IVR-free survival rate was 60.0% in the non-pyuria group vs. 49.7% in the pyuria group according to the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. After the multivariate Cox regression analysis, pyuria (hazard ratio [HR]=1.368; p=0.041), a concurrent bladder tumor (HR=1.757; p=0.005), preoperative ureteroscopy (HR=1.476; p=0.013), laparoscopic surgery (HR=0.682; p=0.048), tumor multiplicity (HR=1.855; p=0.007), and a larger tumor (HR=1.041; p=0.050) were predictors of risk for IVR. There was no association between pyuria and recurrence-free survival (p=0.057) or cancer-specific survival (p=0.519) in the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. CONCLUSIONS This study concluded that pyuria was an independent predictor of IVR in patients with UTUC after RNUx.

Abstract
Background: Hematuria is a common condition caused by various factors, including infections, inflammations, stone diseases, and anatomical abnormalities. While hematuria can be mistaken for other conditions, its significance should not be overlooked, as studies have shown that some patients with hematuria are diagnosed with urological cancers.Current Concepts: Experts agree on the need for specific diagnostic tests such as cystoscopy, upper urinary tract imaging, and urine cytology for visible hematuria. However, opinions differ when it comes to microscopic hematuria. Delays in diagnosing bladder cancer can significantly impact mortality rates. Therefore, objective diagnostic criteria, as well as guidelines to reduce excessive evaluations, costs, and side effects, are required. As of 2020, the American Urological Association has released new guidelines for the diagnosis and management of microscopic hematuria, that focus on assessing the risk of urological malignancies in individual patients and recommend tailored evaluations based on risk levels. This article provides an overview of these guidelines, discussing diagnostic criteria, initial evaluations, risk stratification, and recommended evaluations of the urinary tract.Discussion and Conclusion: Guidelines on hematuria aim to reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, provide appropriate follow-up strategies to patients with persistent or recurrent microscopic hematuria, and improve patient outcomes while minimizing unnecessary tests and procedures.

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the prognostic impact of postoperative neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on survival outcomes in upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Materials and methods: Data from 397 patients with UTUC who underwent radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) without a history of neoadjuvant chemotherapy between 2002 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on a postoperative NLR cut-off of 3, patients were divided into low NLR (<3) or high NLR (≥ 3) groups. After 2:1 propensity score matching, a Kaplan-Meier with log-rank test was used to compare survival outcomes between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to investigate the impact of the postoperative NLR on survival outcomes. Results: The matched cohort (n=176) consisted of 116 low NLR and 60 high NLR patients. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed significant differences in the 3- and 5-year overall and cancer-specific survival rates between the two groups (each p = 0.03). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that a postoperative high NLR was an independent predictor of worse overall survival (hazard ratio [HR]:2.13; 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.18-3.85, p = 0.012) and cancer-specific survival (HR:2.16; 95% CI 1.11-4.21, p = 0.024). Conclusions: Propensity score matching analysis revealed postoperative high NLR can be considered a potential inflammatory biomarker for predicting survival outcomes of UTUC patients treated with RNU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clear cell papillary renal cell tumor (CCPRCT) was first reported in 2006 a patient with end stage renal disease. After that it was discovered in the kidney without end stage renal disease in the 2010s and started to be mentioned in pathology and urology. The incidence of CCPRCT is low and most of it is discovered incidentally, so there is a lack of reports on clinical characteristics and surgical outcome. METHODS This study used clinical data from the Seoul National University Prospectively Enrolled Registry for Renal Cell Carcinoma-Nephrectomy (SUPER-RCC-Nx). Between August 2016 and July 2022, patients who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy with clear cell papillary RCC with pathological finding were included in this study. All patients' pathologic reports were reviewed by 1 pathologist. Clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes were presented through descriptive statistics, and Kaplan-Meier curve used for survival analysis. RESULTS Of the 2057 patients, CCPRCT was reported in 36 patients (1.8%). The median follow up period was 26.8 months. The median age was 67 years, and there were 10 females and 26 males. The median tumor size was 1.2 cm. Twenty-nine patients underwent partial nephrectomy. Seven patients with end-stage renal disease underwent radical nephrectomy. The median operative time for patients who underwent partial nephrectomy was 97.5 min and the estimated blood loss was 100 cc. The median hospital days was 4 and 30-day complications were 2 cases with clavien-dindo classification III or higher. During the follow-up period, there was no recurrence and cancer specific mortality. CONCLUSIONS The size of CCPRCT was small and there was no advanced stage at that time of diagnosis. There was no recurrence or cancer specific mortality during the follow-up period. A multi-center study with a large scale is needed in the future.

Abstract
Open radical cystectomy (ORC) is associated with high rates of perioperative morbidity and mortality, owing to its extensive surgical nature and the high frequency of multiple co-morbidities among patients. As an alternative, robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has been increasingly adopted worldwide, being a reliable treatment option that utilizes minimally invasive surgery. Seventeen years have passed since the advent of the RARC, and comprehensive long-term follow-up data are now becoming available. The present review focuses on the current knowledge of RARC in 2023, and analyzes various aspects, including oncological outcomes, peri/post-operative complications, post-operative quality of life (QoL) change, and cost-effectiveness. Oncologically, RARC showed comparable oncological outcomes to ORC. With regard to complications, RARC was associated with lower estimated blood loss, lower intraoperative transfusion rates, shorter length of stay, lower risk of Clavien-Dindo grade III-V complications, and lower 90-day rehospitalization rates than ORC. In particular, RARC with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) performed by high-volume centers significantly reduced the risk of post-operative major complications. In terms of post-operative QoL, RARC with extracorporeal urinary diversion (ECUD) showed comparable results to ORC, while RARC with ICUD was superior in some respects. As the RARC implementation rate increases and the learning curve is overcome, more prospective studies and randomized controlled trials with large-scale patients are expected to be conducted in the future. Accordingly, sub-group analysis in various groups such as ECUD, ICUD, continent and non-continent urinary diversion, etc. is considered to be possible.

Abstract
Background Previous studies using the Vesical Imaging Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) to predict muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) had some limitations. Most studies were performed with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT) specimens with few samples. This study was conducted to address these shortcomings and confirm the accuracy of VI-RADS for bladder cancer. Methods This study used data from the Seoul National University Prospectively Enrolled Registry for Urothelial Cancer-Radical Cystectomy (SUPER-UC-Cx). Patients who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) before radical cystectomy (RC) were included in this study between March 2020 and March 2022. All images were reported by radiologists and reviewed by two urologists. The patient characteristics and clinical information were blinded during the review. The performance of qualitative and quantitative variables in predicting muscle layer invasion or perivesical fat infiltration was verified by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results Of 208 patients, 182 (87.5%) underwent mp-MRI before RC. Twenty-three patients with non-urothelial carcinoma, inappropriate MRI scans, and bladder filling were excluded. Cut-off for muscle invasion, VI-RADS score of 4 had the highest area under the curve (AUC) (sensitivity 0.84; specificity 0.93; accuracy 0.90; positive predictive value (PPV) 0.84; negative predictive value (NPV) 0.93, and AUC 0.88). Cut-off for perivesical fat invasion and VI-RADS score of 5 had the highest AUC (sensitivity, 0.78; specificity, 0.99; accuracy, 0.95; PPV, 0.96; NPV, 0.95; and AUC, 0.89). Conclusions VI-RADS is a good predictor of bladder cancer staging before RC and is especially helpful in predicting muscle invasion and perivesical fat infiltration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There is no consensus on the management plan for incidental prostate cancer (IPCa) after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). This study aims to investigate the natural course of this disease and suggest appropriate treatment in real clinical practice. METHODS The medical records of a prospective cohort of patients with LUTS/BPH who underwent HoLEP between July 2008 and December 2020 at Seoul National University Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who underwent HoLEP for palliative purpose of prostate cancer control were excluded. The natural history of IPCa was assessed by the clinician in a descriptive manner for each treatment option. RESULTS Among 2630 patients, 141 (5.4%) were diagnosed with IPCa after HoLEP. Pathologic T stage and magnetic resonance imaging results were highly associated with the physician's primary treatment decision-making for IPCa. Active surveillance (AS) was performed in 80% of patients, of whom 90% underwent follow-up without intervention, while the remaining 10% underwent deferred active treatment with a median follow-up of 46.3 months due to International Society of Urological Pathology grade group upgrading or increasing core involvement percentage. Meanwhile, 20% of patients underwent immediate active treatment. With a median follow-up period of 88.3 months after treatment, only one of 25 patients had biochemical recurrence. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of IPCa after HoLEP was 5.4%, and among these, approximately 20% proceeded with immediate definitive therapy and an additional 6% ultimately received definitive therapy within a median of 4 years of AS but showed excellent oncological outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
To assess prognostic value of pre-operative ipsilateral split renal function (SRF) on disease-free survival (DFS) and its association with aggressive pathological features in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients.
Methods
We examined patients registered in SNUG-RCC-Nx who underwent partial or radical nephrectomy at Seoul National University Hospital between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2020. Patients with the following criteria were excluded from the study. 1) non-kidney origin cancer or benign renal tumor, 2) no pre-operative Tc 99 m-DTPA renal scan, 3) single kidney status or previous partial or radical nephrectomy, and 4) bilateral renal mass. Finally, 1,078 patients were included.
Results
Among 1,078 patients, 899 (83.4%) showed maintained ipsilateral SRF on DTPA renal scan; 179 patients (16.6%) showed decreased SRF. The decreased SRF group showed significantly large tumor size (maintained vs. decreased SRF; 3.31 ± 2.15 vs. 6.85 ± 3.25, p < 0.001), high Fuhrman grade (grade 3–4) (41.7% vs. 55.6%, p < 0.001), and high T stage (T stage 3–4) (9.0% vs. 20.1%, p < 0.001). Pathological invasive features, including invasion of the renal capsule, perirenal fat, renal sinus fat, vein, and collecting duct system, were associated with low SRF of the ipsilateral kidney. Univariate Cox regression analysis identified higher SSIGN (The stage, size, grade, and necrosis) score and decreased ipsilateral SRF as significant risk factors, while multivariate analysis showed SSIGN (5–7) (hazard ratio [HR] 11.9, p < 0.001) and SSIGN (8–10) (HR 69.2, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with shortened DFS, while decreased ipsilateral SRF (HR 1.75, p = 0.065) showed borderline significance. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that decreased ipsilateral SRF (< 45%) group had shorter DFS than the other group (median DFS: 90.3 months vs. not reached, p < 0.001).
Conclusions
Among unilateral RCC patients, those with low ipsilateral SRF showed poor prognosis with pathologically invasive features. Our novel approach may facilitate risk stratification in RCC patients, helping formulate a treatment strategy.

Abstract
Background Kidney tubular damage markers are biomarkers of acute or chronic kidney injury. Hypothetically, upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC), which induces obstructive uropathy or direct invasion of the renal parenchyma, may also induce increased excretion of urinary tubular damage proteins. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the use of tubular damage biomarker as prognostic markers for UTUC. Methods The records of 417 surgically resected patients with UTUC were obtained from the Seoul National University Prospectively Enrolled Registry for urothelial cancer-upper tract urothelial cancer (SUPER-UC-UTUC) between January 2016 and December 2020. Patients with non-urothelial cancer or without urinary tubular injury marker measurement were excluded, and finally, 296 patients were finally included. B2-microglobulin (B2-MG) was an injury marker, and a value higher than 0.3 was considered abnormally elevated, according to previous studies. Results The mean age was 70.9 years, and the male sex was predominant (n = 211, 71.3%). The incidences of renal pelvis and ureter cancer were similar (50.7% vs. 49.3%). Most patients had high-grade diseases (n = 254, 88.8%). The high urine B2-MG group was older, had decreased renal function, and had a higher pathologic T stage than did the low group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis of disease-free survival (DFS), open surgical method (Hazard ratio (HR) 1.52, p = 0.027), large tumor size (HR 1.06, p = 0.017), tumor multifocality (HR 1.90, p = 0.038), lymphovascular invasion (HR 2.19, p < 0.001), and high urine B2-MG (HR 1.57, p = 0.021) were significantly associated with shortened metastasis-free survival (MFS). Kaplan–Meier curve analysis revealed short DFS (median survival 15.5 months vs. unattained, log-rank p = 0.001) and MFS (unattained median survival in both groups, log-rank p = 0.003) for the high urine B2-MG group compared to the low urine B2-MG group. Conclusion Patients with UTUC presenting with increased pre-operative urine B2-MG levels were associated with disease recurrence and metastasis. This biomarker may aid in performing pre-operative risk stratification and in assessing the individual prognosis of patients with UTUC.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the prognostic value of acidic urine (low urine pH) in patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy. Materials and methods We reviewed patients enrolled in the Seoul National University Prospectively Enrolled Registry for Urothelial Cancer-Cystectomy (SUPER-UC-Cx) who underwent radical cystectomy for bladder cancer between March 2016 and December 2020 at the Seoul National University Hospital. During this period, 368 patients were registered in our database. To eliminate confounding factors, we excluded patients diagnosed with non-urothelial cancer and end-stage renal disease. Results A total of 351 patients with a mean age of 69.8 ± 10.5 years and median follow-up of 16.0 months were eligible for the analysis. The mean preoperative urine pH was 6.0. The patients were divided into low (pH ≤ 5.5) and high (pH≥6.0) urine pH groups for comparison. All clinicopathological features, including the tumor size, grade, and stage were comparable between the low and high urine pH groups. A Cox regression analysis was performed to assess the independent effect of acidic urine on patient survival. A multivariate analysis showed that high T stage (T3-4) (hazard ratio (HR) 5.18, P<0.001), decreased renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2) (HR 2.29, P=0.003), and low urine pH (≤5.5) (HR 1.69, P=0.05) were associated with shortened recurrence-free survival (RFS). Regarding the overall survival (OS), high T stage (T3-4) (HR 7.15, P<0.001) and low urine pH (≤5.5) (HR 2.66, P=0.029) were significantly associated with shortened survival. A Kaplan–Meier analysis demonstrated that the acidic urine group showed shorter RFS (P=0.04) and OS (P=0.028) than the other groups. Conclusions Acidic urine was independently associated with reduced RFS and OS in patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy. Acidic urine contributing to an acidic tumor environment may promote aggressive behavior in bladder cancer.

Abstract
Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) occurs in urothelial cells from the kidney and the ureters. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a tumor marker for pancreatic and gastrointestinal cancers, and its high levels are associated with poor prognosis in bladder cancer. In this study, prospective patients enrolled in the registry of Seoul National University were retrospectively examined to determine the clinical significance of CA 19-9 in UTUC. In 227 patients, high serum CA 19-9 levels reflected a high tumor burden represented by high T and N stages, leading to adverse prognosis in metastasis-free or overall survival. Subsequently, propensity score matching analysis showed that the CA 19-9 level is an independent prognostic factor of UTUC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer can be controlled by transurethral resection of bladder (TURB), but suffers from frequent recurrences in 60-70% of cases. Although, recurrence interval after TURB influences treatment course and prognosis, its implication and risk factors have not been fully elucidated. We evaluated the risk factors of early (within 1 yr) and late (after 1 yr) recurrence of pTa bladder cancer and clinical significance of recurrence interval on disease progression and overall survival. METHODS In this study, pTa bladder cancer patients enrolled in prospective patient registry system of Seoul National University, SUPER-UC, were retrospectively examined to determine the clinical risk factors for recurrence and its significance regarding to recurrence interval. A total of 1067 bladder cancer patients who underwent TURB between March 20 and June 2021 were included and classified into three groups of no recurrence, early, or late recurrence to be comparatively analyzed. RESULTS Early recurrence was associated with poorer cystectomy-free survival and overall survival than late recurrence. Risk factors for early recurrence included a high number of previous TURB, tumor multiplicity, tumor location, tumor shape, incompleteness of TURB, and high tumor grade. Otherwise, late recurrence was associated with low-grade tumors with insufficient TURB depth. CONCLUSION Patients with risk factors for early recurrence should be closely followed up with special cautions.

Abstract
Hematuria is a typical symptom of bladder cancer which enables early detection of bladder cancer. However, reliable diagnostic tools for bladder cancer using urine samples or other non-invasive methods are lacking. Tremendous attempts have been tried and revealed fancy works to convey definitive diagnostic power using urine samples. In this paper, we reviewed urinary markers for bladder cancer and compared their efficacies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To demonstrate the safety and feasibility of synchronous unilateral nephrectomy and contralateral heminephrectomy in extremely severe autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), which corresponds to the Mayo imaging classification classes 1D and 1E. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent unilateral nephrectomy and contralateral heminephrectomy at the Seoul National University Hospital (Seoul, Korea) between May 1, 2016 and August 1, 2021. The preoperative kidney volume was calculated using the ellipsoid equation (length×width×thickness×π/6). The Mayo imaging classification was determined by height-adjusted total kidney volume and age. Using a midline vertical incision, heminephrectomy was performed first by horizontal transection, followed by contralateral nephrectomy. Hilar vessel clamping or resection-bed suturing was not required. RESULTS In all, nine patients with ADPKD of the highest severity (Mayo class 1D/1E) underwent unilateral heminephrectomy and contralateral nephrectomy for the most common cause of severe abdominal discomfort and malnutrition. All nine patients had end-stage renal disease with hypertension and anemia. The median preoperative total kidney volume was 10,905.8 mL (interquartile range [IQR], 8,170.4-16,227.6 mL). The median operation time was 140 minutes (IQR, 125-185 min) and the median estimated blood loss was 250 mL (IQR, 200-425 mL). Eight of the nine patients were discharged without ICU care or any complications. Delayed pseudoaneurysm occurred in one case and was successfully managed by embolization. All patients were symptom-free for a median follow-up period of 2 years. CONCLUSIONS Synchronous unilateral nephrectomy and contralateral heminephrectomy are safe and feasible treatment options for severe bilateral ADPKD.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo show the effective and successful technical approach of percutaneous embolization for persistent urine leakage that occurred after orthotopic neobladder formation.Materials and MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent percutaneous embolization of N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) and lipiodol mixture after orthotopic neobladder formation at the Seoul National University Hospital (Seoul, Korea) from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2020.ResultsAmong total of 182 patients of neobladder formation, five patients (four males and one female) were enrolled in this study, and their median age was 61.0 years (interquartile range (IQR): 42.5–69.5 years). All the patients showed persistent urine leakage at the neobladder-urethral anastomosis site and percutaneous drainage was primarily performed. The median time to perform percutaneous embolization was 40 days (IQR: 31.5–71.5 days) postoperatively. Elective two-staged embolization was performed in three cases for large diameter with a large fluid-filled cavity, while re-embolization was needed for delayed recurrence of urine leakage in two cases. Complete resolution of urine leakage was seen in all the cases and the median time to leakage closure was 55 days (IQR: 27.5–82.5 days). The median follow-up period after leakage closure was 26 months (IQR: 15.5–36.4 months), and embolization material-related bladder stone was a noticeable complication (two cases) during follow-up, which was removed endoscopically within 1 year after embolization. All patients' quality of life (EQ-5D-5L score) was well-maintained during the entire period.ConclusionsPersistent urine leakage after neobladder formation can be effectively managed with percutaneous embolization of “dumbbell technique” by reinforcing the closure of leakage tract from inner opening to the outer opening even for large diameter (>1 cm).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate postoperative complications following robot-assisted radical cystectomy in patients diagnosed with bladder cancer and reveal if there are predictors for postoperative complications. METHODS Prospectively collected medical records of 730 robot-assisted radical cystectomy patients between 2007/04 and 2019/05 in 13 tertiary referral centers were reviewed. Perioperative outcomes were compared between two groups by postoperative complications (complication vs non-complication). We assessed recurrence-free survival, cancer-specific survival, and overall survival between groups. Regression analyses were implemented to identify factors associated with postoperative complications. RESULTS Any total and high-grade complication (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥3) rates were 57.8% and 21.1%, respectively. Patients in complication group had significantly higher proportion of diabetes mellitus (P = 0.048), chronic kidney disease (P = 0.011), dyslipidemia (P < 0.001), longer operation time (P = 0.001), more estimated blood loss (P = 0.001), and larger intraoperative fluid volume (P < 0.001). There was a significant difference in cancer-specific survival (log-rank P = 0.038, median cancer-specific survival: both groups not reached). Dyslipidemia (odds ratio 2.59, P = 0.002) and intraoperative fluid volume (odds ratio 1.0002, P = 0.040) were significantly associated with high-grade postoperative complications. Diabetes mellitus (odds ratio 1.97, P = 0.028), chronic kidney disease (odds ratio 1.89, P = 0.046), dyslipidemia (odds ratio 5.94, P = 0.007), and intraoperative fluid volume (odds ratio 1.0002, P = 0.009) were significantly associated with any postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS Patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, dyslipidemia, or a relatively large intraoperatively infused fluid volume are more likely to develop postoperative complications. Patients with postoperative complications might have a possibility of lower cancer-specific survival rate.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the prognostic role of acidic urine (low urine pH) in upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC). Materials and Methods We reviewed patients enrolled in Seoul National University Prospectively Enrolled Registry for Urothelial Cancer-Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer (SUPER-UC-UTUC) who underwent surgical resection from March 2016 to December 2020 in Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH). Patients with non-urothelial cancer or those who are in condition at end-stage renal disease were excluded. Acidic urine was defined as urine pH ≤ 5.5. Results A total of 293 patients with a mean age of 70.7 ± 9.5 years were enrolled in this study. Pre-operative laboratory results showed a mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 64.1 ± 19.2 mL/min/1.73m2 and a mean urine pH of 5.86 ± 0.66. Patients were subdivided into low (pH ≤ 5.5) and high (pH > 5.5) urine pH for comparison. As a result, all variables were comparable except for the T stage, which was significantly higher in the low urine pH group (p = 0.017). Cox regression analysis was performed to assess the clinical impact of acidic urine on patient survival. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that tumor multifocality (HR 2.07, p = 0.015), higher T stage (HR 1.54, p = 0.036), lymphovascular invasion (HR 1.69, p = 0.033), eGFR < 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 (HR 1.56, p = 0.017), and acidic urine (HR 1.63, p < 0.01) independently decreased disease-free survival (DFS), while multifocality (HR 9.50, p < 0.01), higher T stage (HR 9.51, p = 0.001) and acidic urine (HR 10.36, p = 0.004) independently reduced the overall survival (OS). Conclusions Acidic urine is independently associated with reduced DFS and OS in UTUC. Acidic urine contributing to acidic environment may promote acquisition of agressive behavior of UTUC.

Abstract
PURPOSE The need for secondary transurethral resection of the bladder (re-TURB) in patients with high-grade Ta tumors has not been assessed. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of patients with high-grade Ta tumors who did and did not undergo re-TURB. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study used data from the Seoul National University Prospectively Enrolled Registry for Urothelial Cancer-Transurethral Bladder Tumor Resection (SUPER-UC-TURB). Patients with high-grade Ta tumors who underwent TURB between March 2016 and December 2019 were included. Following the initial TURB, if the pathology results showed a tumor grade higher than high-grade Ta, re-TURB was performed according to the surgeon's recommendation. The recurrence-free survival rate was assessed by Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis between patients who did and did not undergo re-TURB. RESULTS In total, 187 patients with high-grade Ta who underwent initial TURB were included, of whom 115 underwent re-TURB and 72 did not. Patients in the re-TURB group had a significantly higher 2-year recurrence-free survival rate than did those in the no re-TURB group (81.3% vs. 60.1%; p=0.005). Whether patients underwent re-TURB was a significant predictor of the risk of bladder cancer recurrence in both the univariate (HR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.27-0.98; p=0.044) and multivariate (HR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.19-0.97; p=0.041) analysis. CONCLUSIONS The risk for bladder cancer recurrence was increased, and the 2-year recurrence-free survival was significantly decreased, in patients with high-grade Ta tumors who did not undergo re-TURB. Thus, re-TURB is beneficial in patients with high-grade Ta bladder cancer.

Abstract
Purpose Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) optimizes patient recovery and has outcomes comparable with those of open surgery. This study aimed to compare the perioperative and oncologic outcomes of RARC in female and male patients. Materials and Methods A retrospective cohort study of the Korean Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy Study Group database from 2007 to 2019 identified 749 patients (111 females and 638 males). Female were matched 1:1 to male by propensity score matching using a logistic regression. We compared perioperative outcomes, oncologic outcomes, and complications between the two groups. Results The female group had comparable perioperative outcomes to the male group in terms of operation time, lymph node yield, positive surgical margin, blood transfusion rate, and hospitalization days. Complication rate and grade were not significantly different between the two groups. The most common complication was infection in female and gastrointestinal complications in male. We compared the 5-year overall, disease-specific, and recurrence-free survival of female and male: 58.2% vs. 68.0% (p=0.495), 75.7% vs. 79.3% (p=0.645), and 40.8% vs. 53.5% (p=0.913), respectively. On multivariable analysis, T stage (>T2), postoperative complications, and positive surgical margin were prognostic factors of poor outcome. Sex was not an independent predictor of the three survivals. Conclusions The current study suggests that RARC in female has comparable perioperative and oncologic outcomes to those in male. The complication rate of RARC in female was comparable to that in male, but the type of complications differed by sex.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to compare the functional and oncological outcomes of females who underwent uterus-sparing radical cystectomy (USRC) and standard radical cystectomy (SRC). Materials and Methods Between February 2009 and December 2020, 90 female patients who underwent radical cystectomy with urinary diversion were included in this study, comprising the USRC and SRC groups. Functional outcomes were assessed in 63 patients who only underwent radical cystectomy with neobladder formation. Questionnaire scores, clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) rate, and urinary continence rate were analyzed. Oncological outcomes were assessed in 86 patients, regardless of the urinary diversion type. Overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were compared. Results CIC rate was significantly lower in the USRC group than in the SRC group (14.7% vs. 48.0%; p=0.005). The continence rate was significantly higher in the USRC group than in the SRC group (85.3% vs. 40.0%; p=0.001). There were no significant differences in OS (p=0.890), CSS (p=0.700), or RFS (p=0.270) between the two groups. In multivariate analysis, uterine preservation did not significantly increase the hazard ratio (HR) of OS (HR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.18–2.11; p=0.450), CSS (HR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.22–4.40; p=0.990), or RFS (HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.19–1.11; p=0.840). Conclusions USRC resulted in higher continence rates and lower CIC rates than SRC without negatively affecting oncological outcomes. Hence, with thorough deliberation, USRC should be considered for females undergoing radical cystectomy.

Abstract
Background Upper urinary tract urothelial carcinomas are relatively rare and have a cancer-specific survival rate of 20%–30%. The current gold standard treatment for nonmetastatic high-grade urinary tract urothelial carcinoma is radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection. Objective This study aimed to compare conditional cancer-specific survival between open radical nephroureterectomy and laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy in patients with nonmetastatic stage pT3-4 or TxN(+) locally advanced urinary tract urothelial carcinoma from five tertiary centers. Methods The medical records of 723 patients were retrospectively reviewed. The patients had locally advanced and nodal staged tumors and had undergone open radical nephroureterectomy (n = 388) or laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (n = 260) at five tertiary Korean institutions from January 2000 and December 2012. To control for heterogenic baseline differences between the two modalities, propensity score matching and subgroup analysis were conducted. Conditional survival analysis was also conducted to determine survival outcome and to overcome differences in follow-up duration between the groups. Results During the median 50.8-month follow up, 255 deaths occurred. In univariate analysis, significant factors affecting cancer-specific survival (e.g., age, history of bladder cancer, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, pathological N stage, and presence of lymphovascular invasion and carcinoma in situ) differed in each subsequent year. The cancer-specific survival between patients treated with open radical nephroureterectomy and laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy was not different between patients with and without a history of bladder cancer. After adjusting baseline differences between the two groups by using propensity score matching, both groups still had no significant differences in cancer-specific survival. Conclusion The two surgical modalities showed no significant differences in the 5-year cancer-specific survival in patients with locally advanced urinary tract urothelial carcinoma.

Abstract
Purpose We aimed to identify, verify, and validate a multiplex urinary biomarker-based prediction model for diagnosis and surveillance of urothelial carcinoma of bladder, using high-throughput proteomics methods. Materials and Methods Label-free quantification of data-dependent and data-independent acquisition of 12 and 24 individuals was performed in each of the discovery and verification phases using mass spectrometry, simultaneously using urinary exosome and proteins. Based on five scoring system based on proteomics data and statistical methods, we selected eight proteins. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on urine from 120 patients with bladder mass lesions used for validation. Using multivariable logistic regression, we selected final candidate models for predicting bladder cancer. Results Comparing the discovery and verification cohorts, 38% (50/132 exosomal differentially expressed proteins [DEPs]) and 44% (109/248 urinary DEPs) are consistent at statistically significance, respectively. The 20 out of 50 exosome proteins and 27 out of 109 urinary proteins were upregulated in cancer patients. From eight selected proteins, we developed two diagnostic models for bladder cancer. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of two models were 0.845 and 0.842, which outperformed AUROC of urine cytology. Conclusion The results showed that the two diagnostic models developed here were more accurate than urine cytology. We successfully developed and validated a multiplex urinary protein-based prediction, which will have wide applications for the rapid diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. External validation for this biomarker panel in large population is required.

Abstract
Purpose We evaluated clinical outcomes of high-risk prostate cancer patients receiving external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) or radical prostatectomy (RP). Materials and Methods Patients were classified as high-risk prostate cancer and received definitive treatment between 2005 and 2015. Patients with previous pelvic radiotherapy, positive lymph node or distant metastasis were excluded. The primary outcomes were prostate cancer-specific survival (PCSS) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS). Results Of 583 patients met the inclusion criteria (77 EBRT and 506 RP), the estimated 10-year PCSS was 97.0% in the RP and 95.9% in the EBRT (p = 0.770). No significant difference was seen in the DMFS (p = 0.540), whereas there was a trend in favor of RP over EBRT in overall survival (OS) (p = 0.068). Propensity score matching analysis with confounding variables was done, with 183 patients (66 EBRT and 117 RP) were included. No significant difference in DMFS, PCSS or OS was found. Conclusion Our data demonstrated similar oncologic PCSS, OS, and DMFS outcomes between EBRT and RP patients.

Abstract
Preoperative renal function is associated with worse outcomes in patients undergoing radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). The purpose of this systemic review and meta-analysis was to determine the association of preoperative renal function with oncological outcome in patients who underwent RNU. We searched articles published up to March 2021 in PubMed, Scopus, and Embase by combining "urothelial carcinoma", "radical nephroureterectomy", and "estimated glomerular filtration rate". We also manually screened the reference list for publications following general guidelines recommended by the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. The relationship between preoperative renal function and survival was expressed as overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS). This review and meta-analysis included 13 studies involving a total of 4668 patients who received RNU. Pooled analysis showed significant negative association of preoperative renal function with PFS (HR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.23-1.80, p < 0.00001), CSS (HR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.38-1.92, p < 0.00001), and OS (HR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.10-1.35, p < 0.00001). Patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) who received RNU showed a significant negative association of preoperative renal function with survival.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the clinical role of preoperative pyuria for predicting bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) unresponsiveness in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). We performed a logistic regression analysis on 453 patients with NMIBC who were treated with BCG immunotherapy after a transurethral resection of bladder tumours, to evaluate predictive factors of BCG unresponsiveness. We also analysed univariate and multivariable survival data to estimate the prognostic impact of pyuria. Of the total study population, 37.6% (170/453) of patients had BCG unresponsiveness. A multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that a history of upper urinary tract cancer (odds ratio (OR): 1.86, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04-3.32, p-value = 0.035) and the presence of pyuria (OR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.01-2.27, p = 0.047) and tumour multiplicity (OR: 1.80, 95% CI: 1.18-2.75, p-value < 0.001) were significant predictors of BCG unresponsiveness. A Cox proportional hazards analysis model showed that pyuria was a significant prognostic factor for progression-free survival (hazard ratio: 4.51, 95% CI: 1.22-16.66, p = 0.024). A history of upper urinary tract cancer and the presence of pyuria and tumour multiplicity are predictive markers of BCG unresponsiveness. For patients with NMIBC who have preoperative pyuria, treatment using BCG should be considered cautiously.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We investigated the efficacy of a urethral catheter alone for intraperitoneal perforation during transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the medical records of 4,543 patients who underwent TURBT from January 2000 to December 2017 using the Clinical Data Warehouse system. The clinicopathologic characteristics, recurrence-free survival, and progression-free survival were compared between the patient groups with intraperitoneal perforation treated with the Foley catheter alone, extraperitoneal perforation, and matched control TURBT. RESULTS Intraperitoneal perforation and extraperitoneal perforation were observed in 16 (35.6%) and 29 (64.4%) patients, respectively. In the intraperitoneal perforation group, 11 (68.8%), 2 (12.5%), and 3 (18.8%) patients were treated with the Foley catheter alone, additional percutaneous drainage, and delayed open surgery, respectively. The use of the Foley catheter alone in patients with intraperitoneal perforation of smaller size than the cystoscope or no pelvic radiotherapy history showed improved efficacy without sequelae or therapeutic delay. One of the 2 patients with the size of the intraperitoneal perforation larger than the cystoscope was successfully treated with the Foley catheter alone, whereas the other patient underwent delayed surgical repair. There was no difference in recurrence-free survival and progression-free survival of the intraperitoneal perforation treated with the Foley catheter alone compared to those of the matched control TURBT (p = 0.909, p = 0.518) and the extraperitoneal perforation (p = 0.458, p = 0.699). CONCLUSIONS Intraperitoneal perforation rarely occurred during TURBT. In the case of intraperitoneal perforation of size smaller than cystoscopy or without pelvic radiotherapy history, treatment with the Foley alone showed successful improvement and safe oncological results. Therefore, treatment with the urethral catheter alone can be carefully considered when an intraperitoneal perforation smaller than the cystoscope size or without pelvic radiotherapy history occurs.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of intraoperative fluid volume on the postoperative ileus (POI) recovery period. A retrospective review of the Korean robot-assisted radical cystectomy database identified 718 patients who underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). Regression analyses were performed to identify the associations between the amount of intraoperative fluid administration (crystalloid/colloid/total), POI period (time to flatus/bowel movements), and length of hospital stay (LOS) after adjusting for covariates. In addition, we analyzed the risk factors for gastrointestinal complications and prolonged POI using a logistic regression model. An increasing volume of the administered crystalloid/total fluid was associated with prolonged POI (crystalloid R2 = 0.0725 and P < 0.0001; total amount R2 = 0.0812 and P < 0.0001), and the total fluid volume was positively associated with the LOS (R2 = 0.099 and P < 0.0001). The crystalloid amount was a risk factor for prolonged POI (P < 0.001; odds ratio, 1.361; 95% confidence interval, 1.133–1.641; P < 0.001). In the context of RARC, increased intravenous fluids are associated with prolonged POI and longer LOS.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to develop a model for predicting pathologic extracapsular extension (ECE) and seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) while integrating magnetic resonance imaging-based T-staging (cTMRI, cT1c-cT3b). Materials and Methods A total of 1,915 who underwent radical prostatectomy between 2006-2016 met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. We performed a multivariate logistic regression analysis as well as Bayesian network (BN) modeling based on possible confounding factors. The BN model was internally validated using 5-fold validation. Results According to the multivariate logistic regression analysis, initial prostate-specific antigen (iPSA) (β=0.050, p<0.001), percentage of positive biopsy cores (PPC) (β=0.033, p<0.001), both lobe involvement on biopsy (β=0.359, p=0.009), Gleason score (β=0.358, p<0.001), and cTMRI (β=0.259, p<0.001) were significant factors for ECE. For SVI, iPSA (β=0.037, p<0.001), PPC (β=0.024, p<0.001), GS (β=0.753, p<0.001), and cTMRI (β=0.507, p<0.001) showed statistical significance. BN models to predict ECE and SVI were also successfully established. The overall AUC/accuracy of the BN models were 0.76/73.0% and 0.88/89.6% for ECE and SVI, respectively. According to internal comparison between the BN model and Roach formula, BN model had improved AUC values for predicting ECE (0.76 vs. 0.74; p=0.060) and SVI (0.88 vs. 0.84, p<0.001). Conclusion wo models to predict pathologic ECE and SVI integrating cTMRI were established and installed on a separate website for public access to guide radiation oncologists.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the clinical impact of strict selection criteria for active surveillance (AS) of prostate cancer in a Korean population. Materials and Methods A single-center, prospectively collected AS cohort from December 2016 to February 2019 was used. Following pre-determined criteria, patients were categorized into “strict AS” and “non-strict AS” groups. Clinicopathological progression-free survival (PFS) and treatment-free survival (TFS) of the two groups were compared using the Kaplan–Meier curve and log-rank test. Age-adjusted hazard ratios for clinicopathological progression was calculated using Cox proportional regression analysis. Results Of 54 eligible patients, 25 and 29 were assigned to “strict AS” and “non-strict AS,” respectively. Clinicopathological progression and definitive treatment rates were 24.0% (6 of 25 patients) vs. 51.7% (15 of 29 patients) and 32.0% (8 of 25 patients) vs. 62.1% (18 of 29 patients) in “strict AS” and “non-strict AS” groups. Progress to high-risk cancer (pathologic T3 or surgical Gleason Grade 2 over) in radical prostatectomy was higher in “non-strict AS” than “strict AS”. PFS (mean 34.6±2.9 mo vs. 22.6±2.7 mo; p=0.025) and TFS (mean 31.8±3.2 mo vs. 19.6±2.4 mo; p=0.018) favor the “strict AS” group than “non-strict AS” group. Age-adjusted hazard ratio for clinicopathological progression of strict criteria was 0.36 (95% confidence interval, 0.14–0.94; p=0.04). Conclusions PFS and TFS were better in the “strict AS” group than in the “non-strict AS” group. This finding should be informed to relevant patients during decision making and considered in Korean guidelines.

Abstract
Renal function declines after partial nephrectomy due to ischemic reperfusion injury induced by surgical insult or renal artery clamping. The effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on reducing renal injury after partial nephrectomy has not been studied regarding urinary biomarkers. Eighty-one patients undergoing partial nephrectomy were randomly assigned to either RIPC or the control group. RIPC protocol consisted of four cycles of five-min inflation and deflation of a blood pressure cuff to 250 mmHg. Serum creatinine levels were compared at the following time points: preoperative baseline, immediate postoperative, on the first and third days after surgery, and two weeks after surgery. The incidence of acute kidney injury, other surgical complication rates, and urinary biomarkers, including urine creatinine, β-2 microglobulin, microalbumin, and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase were compared. Split renal functions measured by renal scan were compared up to 18 months after surgery. There was no significant difference in the serum creatinine level on the first postoperative day (median (interquartile range) 0.87 mg/dL (0.72–1.03) in the RIPC group vs. 0.92 mg/dL (0.71–1.12) in the control group, p = 0.728), nor at any other time point. There was no significant difference in the incidence of acute kidney injury. Secondary outcomes, including urinary biomarkers, were not significantly different between the groups. RIPC showed no significant effect on the postoperative serum creatinine level of the first postoperative day. We could not reveal any significant difference in the urinary biomarkers and clinical outcomes. However, further larger randomized trials are required, because our study was not sufficiently powered for the secondary outcomes.

Abstract
For patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, the pneumoperitoneum with a steep Trendelenburg position could worsen intraoperative respiratory mechanics and result in postoperative atelectasis. We investigated the effects of individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on postoperative atelectasis, evaluated using lung ultrasonography. Sixty patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy were randomly allocated into two groups. Individualized groups (n = 30) received individualized PEEP determined by a decremental PEEP trial using 20 to 7 cm H2O, aiming at maximizing respiratory compliance, whereas standardized groups (n = 30) received a standardized PEEP of 7 cm H2O during the pneumoperitoneum. Ultrasound examination was performed on 12 sections of thorax, and the lung ultrasound score was measured as 0–3 by considering the number of B lines and the degree of subpleural consolidation. The primary outcome was the difference between the lung ultrasound scores measured before anesthesia induction and just after extubation in the operating room. An increase in the difference means the development of atelectasis. The optimal PEEP in the individualized group was determined as the median (interquartile range) 14 (12–18) cm H2O. Compared with the standardized group, the difference in the lung ultrasound scores was significantly smaller in the individualized group (−0.5 ± 2.7 vs. 6.0 ± 2.9, mean difference −6.53, 95% confidence interval (−8.00 to −5.07), p < 0.001), which means that individualized PEEP was effective to reduce atelectasis. The lung ultrasound score measured after surgery was significantly lower in the individualized group than the standardized group (8.1 ± 5.7 vs. 12.2 ± 4.2, mean difference −4.13, 95% confidence interval (−6.74 to −1.53), p = 0.002). However, the arterial partial pressure of the oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen levels during the surgery showed no significant time-group interaction between the two groups in repeated-measures analysis of variance (p = 0.145). The incidence of a composite of postoperative respiratory complications was comparable between the two groups. Individualized PEEP determined by maximal respiratory compliance during the pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg position significantly reduced postoperative atelectasis, as evaluated using lung ultrasonography. However, the clinical significance of this finding should be evaluated by a larger clinical trial.

Abstract
Purpose The current stratification of risk groups regarding recurrence and progression of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is problematic. We aimed to assess the long-term outcome and risk of multiple, recurrent, and large (≥3 cm) Ta, G1/G2 tumors after transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT). Materials and Methods We categorized 1,621 patients with NMIBC who underwent TURBT into four risk groups according to the European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines as follows: low-risk, intermediate-risk, high-risk, and study group. The overall, cancer-specific, disease recurrence-free, and disease progression-free survival rates were estimated by using the Kaplan–Meier method. Then, the impact of risk group was assessed by using a multivariable Cox regression model. Results The study group comprised 52 patients (3.2%) within a mean follow-up of 64.8 months. The disease recurred and progressed in 41 (78.8%) and 7 (13.5%) patients, respectively. Among the four groups, the study group showed the highest risk for 10-year recurrence after TURBT. The disease progression risk in the study group was between that of the intermediate- and high-risk groups. Cancer-specific and all-cause deaths occurred in one and four patients in the study group, respectively. The study group had a higher risk for disease recurrence than did the high-risk group; however, it did not have a higher risk for disease progression than in the high-risk group. Conclusions Multiple, recurrent, and large (≥3 cm) Ta, G1/G2 tumors carry a higher risk for disease recurrence, but not progression, than in the EAU high-risk group of NMIBC.

Abstract
In prostate cancer, the androgen receptor (AR) transcription factor is a major regulator of cell proliferation and metastasis. To identify new AR regulators, we focused on Mixed lineage leukemia 5 (MLL5), a histone-regulating enzyme, because significantly higher MLL5 expression was detected in prostate cancer tissues than in matching normal tissues. When we expressed shRNAs targeting MLL5 gene in prostate cancer cell line, the growth rate and AR activity were reduced compared to those in control cells, and migration ability of the knockdown cells was reduced significantly. To determine the molecular mechanisms of MLL5 on AR activity, we proved that AR physically interacted with MLL5 and other co-factors, including SET-1 and HCF-1, using an immunoprecipitation method. The chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis showed reduced binding of MLL5, co-factors, and AR enzymes to AR target gene promoters in MLL5 shRNA-expressing cells. Histone H3K4 methylation on the AR target gene promoters was reduced, and H3K9 methylation at the same site was increased in MLL5 knockdown cells. Finally, xenograft tumor formation revealed that reduction of MLL5 in prostate cancer cells retarded tumor growth. Our results thus demonstrate the important role of MLL5 as a new epigenetic regulator of AR in prostate cancer.
