Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) incidence and centralisation trends in the Netherlands over the past three decades, as well as the effect of centralisation of PSCC care on survival. PATIENTS AND METHODS In the Netherlands PSCC care is largely centralised in one national centre of expertise (Netherlands Cancer Institute [NCI], Amsterdam). For this study, the Netherlands Cancer Registry, an independent nationwide cancer registry, provided per-patient data on age, clinical and pathological tumour staging, follow-up, and vital status. Patients with treatment at the NCI were identified and compared to patients who were treated at all other centres. The age-standardised incidence rate was calculated with the European Standard Population. The probability of death due to PSCC was estimated using the relative survival. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate predictors of survival. RESULTS A total of 3160 patients were diagnosed with PSCC between 1990 and 2020, showing a rising incidence (P < 0.001). Annual caseload increased at the NCI (1% in 1990, 65% in 2020) and decreased at other (regional) centres (99% to 35%). Despite a relatively high percentage of patients with T2-4 (64%) and N+ (33%) at the NCI, the 5-year relative survival was higher (86%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 82-91%) compared to regional centres (76%, 95% CI 73-80%, P < 0.001). Patients with a pathological T2 tumour were treated with glans-sparing treatment more often at the reference centre than at the regional centres (16% vs 5.0%, P < 0.001). After adjusting for age, histological grading, T-stage, presence of lymph node involvement and year of diagnosis, treatment at regional centres remained a predictor for worse survival (hazard ratio 1.22, 95% CI 1.05-1.39; P = 0.006). CONCLUSION The incidence of PSCC in the Netherlands has been gradually increasing over the past three decades, with a noticeable trend towards centralisation of PSCC care and improved relative survival rate.

Abstract
Background and objective The possible negative impact of radical surgery on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) plays an important role in preoperative counseling. Here, we analyzed the HRQoL of patients treated for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in the context of a single-arm phase 2 multicenter study, in which the safety and efficacy of a single preoperative intravesical instillation with mitomycin C were investigated. Our objective was to investigate early changes in HRQoL in patients undergoing radical surgery for UTUC and identify factors associated with these outcomes. Methods Patients with pTanyN0-1M0 UTUC were prospectively included. HRQoL was assessed using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) questionnaire at baseline, and at 1 and 3 mo after surgery. A linear mixed model was used to evaluate the changes in HRQoL over time and identify the variables associated with these outcomes. The clinical effect size was used to assess the clinical impact and level of perceptibility of HRQoL changes for clinicians and/or patients based on given thresholds. Key findings and limitations Between 2017 and 2020, 186 patients were included. At baseline, 1 mo after surgery, and 3 mo after surgery, response rates were 91%, 84%, and 78%, respectively. One month after surgery, a statistically significant and clinically relevant deterioration was observed in physical, role, and social functioning, and for the included symptom scales: constipation, fatigue, and pain. An improvement in emotional functioning was observed. At 3 mo, HRQoL returned to baseline levels, except emotional functioning, which improved at 1 mo and persisted to be better than that before surgery. Age >70 yr was associated with worse physical functioning, but better social and emotional functioning. Male patients reported better emotional functioning than females. Postoperative complications were negatively associated with social functioning. Conclusions and clinical implications UTUC patients treated with radical surgery experienced a significant, albeit temporary, decline in HRQoL. Three months following surgery, HRQoL outcomes returned to baseline levels. This information can be used to counsel UTUC patients before undergoing radical surgery and contextualize recovery after surgery. Patient summary We investigated the changes in quality of life as reported by patients who underwent surgery for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). We found that patients experienced a decline in quality of life 1 mo after surgery, but this was temporary, with full recovery of quality of life 3 mo after surgery. These findings can help doctors and other medical staff in counseling UTUC patients before undergoing radical surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) is surging worldwide. Aim of the study was to perform a multicentric cost-analysis of RARC by comparing the gross cost of the intervention across hospitals in four different European countries. METHODS Patients who underwent RARC + ICUD were recruited from eleven European centers in four European countries (Belgium, France, Netherlands, and UK) between 2015 and 2020. Costs were divided into six parts: cost for hospital stay, cost for ICU stay, cost for surgical theater occupation, cost for transfusion, cost for robotic instruments, and cost for stapling instruments. These costs were individually assessed for each patient. RESULTS A total of 490 patients were included. Median operative time was 300(270-360) minutes and median hospital length-of-stay was 11(8-15) days. The average total cost of RARC was 14.794€ (95%CI 14.300-15.200€). A significant difference was found for the total cost, as well as the various subcosts abovementioned, between the four included countries. Different sets and types of robotic instruments were used by each center, leading to a difference in cost of robotic instrumentation. Nearly 84% of costs of RARC were due to hospital stay (42%), ICU stay (3%) and operative time (39%), while 16% of costs were due to robotic (8%) and stapling (8%) instruments. CONCLUSION Costs and subcosts of RARC + ICUD vary significantly across European countries and are mainly dependent of hospital length-of-stay and operative time rather than robotic instrumentation. Decreasing length-of-stay and reducing operative time could help to decrease the cost of RARC and make it more widely accessible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Age might influence the choice of surgical approach, type of urinary diversion (UD) and lymph node dissection (LND) in patients candidate to radical cystectomy (RC) for urothelial bladder cancer (UBC). Similarly, age may enhance surgical morbidity and worsen perioperative outcomes. We tested the impact of age (octogenarian vs. younger patients) on surgical decision making and peri- and postoperative outcomes of RC. METHODS Non-metastatic muscle-invasive UBC patients treated with RC at 18 high-volume European institutions between 2006 and 2021 were identified and stratified according to age (≥80 vs. <80 years). Intraoperative Complications Assessment and Reporting with Universal Standards and European Association of Urology guidelines recommendations were accomplished in collection and reporting of, respectively, intraoperative and postoperative complications. Multivariable logistic regression models (MVA) tested the impact of age on outcomes of interest. Sensitivity analyses after 1:3 propensity score matching were performed. RESULTS Of 1955 overall patients, 251 (13%) were ≥80-year-old. Minimally invasive RC was performed in 18% and 40% of octogenarian and younger patients, respectively (p < 0.001). UD without bowel manipulation (ureterocutaneostomy, UCS) was performed in 31% and 7% of octogenarian and younger patients (p < 0.001). LND was delivered to 81% and 93% of octogenarian and younger patients (p < 0.001). At MVA, age ≥80 years independently predicted open approach (odds ratio [OR]: 1.55), UCS (OR: 3.70), and omission of LND (OR: 0.41; all p ≤ 0.02). Compared to their younger counterparts, octogenarian patients experienced higher rates of intraoperative (8% vs. 4%, p = 0.04) but not of postoperative complications (64% vs. 61%, p = 0.07). At MVA, age ≥80 years was not an independent predictor of length of stay, intraoperative or postoperative transfusions and complications, and readmissions (all p values >0.1). These results were replicated in sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS Age ≥80 years does not independently portend worse surgical outcomes for RC. However, octogenarians are unreasonably more likely to receive open approach and UCS diversion, and less likely to undergo LND.

Abstract
Background Head-to-head comparisons between ileal conduit (IC) and orthotopic neobladder (ONB) in terms of peri- and postoperative outcomes and complications, in the specific setting of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC), are not available. Objective To address the impact of the type of urinary diversion (UD, IC vs ONB) on RARC morbidity, as well as operative time (OT), length of stay (LOS), and readmissions. Design setting and participants Urothelial bladder cancer patients treated with RARC at nine high-volume European institutions between 2008 and 2020 were identified. Intervention RARC with either IC or ONB. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis Intra- and postoperative complications were collected and reported according to the Intraoperative Complications Assessment and Reporting with Universal Standards recommendations and European Association of Urology guidelines, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression models tested the impact of UD on outcomes, after adjustment for clustering at single hospital level. Results and limitations Overall, 555 nonmetastatic RARC patients were identified. In 280 (51%) and 275 (49%) patients, an IC and an ONB were performed, respectively. Eighteen intraoperative complications were recorded. The rates of intraoperative complications were 4% in IC patients and 3% in ONB patients (p = 0.4). The median LOS and readmission rates were 10 versus 12 d (p < 0.001) and 20% versus 21% (p = 0.8) in IC versus ONB patients, respectively. At a multivariable logistic regression analyses, the type of UD (IC vs ONB) reached the independent predictor status for prolonged OT (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, p = 0.03) and prolonged LOS (OR: 0.34, p < 0.001), but not for readmission (OR: 0.92, p = 0.7). Overall, 513 postoperative complications were experienced by 324 patients (58%). At least one postoperative complication was experienced by 160 (57%) IC patients versus 164 (60%) ONB patients (p = 0.6). The type of UD reached the status of an independent predictor of UD-related complications (OR: 0.64, p = 0.03). Conclusions Compared with RARC with ONB, RARC with IC is less prone to UD-related postoperative complications, prolonged OT, and prolonged LOS. Patient summary To date, the impact of the type of urinary diversion, namely, ileal conduit versus orthotopic neobladder, on peri- and postoperative outcomes of robot-assisted radical cystectomy is unknown. Based on a rigorous data accrual, which relied on established complication reporting systems (Intraoperative Complications Assessment and Reporting with Universal Standards and European Association of Urology recommended systems), we reported intra- and postoperative complications according to urinary diversion type. Moreover, we found that ileal conduit was associated with lower operative time and length of stay, and yielded a protective effect in terms of urinary diversion-related complications.

Abstract
Cohort 1 of the phase 1B NABUCCO trial showed high pathological complete response (pCR) rates with preoperative ipilimumab plus nivolumab in stage III urothelial cancer (UC). In cohort 2, the aim was dose adjustment to optimize responses. Additionally, we report secondary endpoints, including efficacy and tolerability, in cohort 2 and the association of presurgical absence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in urine and plasma with clinical outcome in both cohorts. Thirty patients received two cycles of either ipilimumab 3 mg kg-1 plus nivolumab 1 mg kg-1 (cohort 2A) or ipilimumab 1 mg kg-1 plus nivolumab 3 mg kg-1 (cohort 2B), both followed by nivolumab 3 mg kg-1. We observed a pCR in six (43%) patients in cohort 2A and a pCR in one (7%) patient in cohort 2B. Absence of urinary ctDNA correlated with pCR in the bladder (ypT0Nx) but not with progression-free survival (PFS). Absence of plasma ctDNA correlated with pCR (odds ratio: 45.0; 95% confidence interval (CI): 4.9-416.5) and PFS (hazard ratio: 10.4; 95% CI: 2.9-37.5). Our data suggest that high-dose ipilimumab plus nivolumab is required in stage III UC and that absence of ctDNA in plasma can predict PFS. ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT03387761 .

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood transfusions (BT) have been associated with adverse oncologic outcomes in multiple malignancies including open radical cystectomy (ORC) for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) delivers similar oncologic outcomes compared to ORC, yet with lower blood loss and reduced transfusions. However, the impact of BT after robotic cystectomy is still unknown. METHODS This is a multicenter study including patients treated for UCB with RARC and ICUD in 15 academic institutions, between January 2015 and January 2022. BT were administered during surgery (intraoperative blood transfusions, iBT) or during the first 30 days after surgery (post-operative blood transfusions, pBT). The association of iBT and pBT with recurrence-free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated by univariate and multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 635 patients were included in the study. Overall, 35/635 patients (5.51%) received iBT while 70/635 (11.0%) received pBT. After a mean follow-up of 23±18 months, 116 patients (18.3%) had died, including 96 (15.1%) from bladder cancer. Recurrence occurred in 146 patients (23%). iBT were associated with decreased RFS, CSS and OS (P<0.001) on univariate Cox analysis. After adjusting for clinicopathologic covariates, iBT were associated only with the risk of recurrence (HR: 1.7; 95% CI, 1.0-2.8, P=0.04). pBT were not significantly associated to RFS, CSS or OS on univariate and multivariate Cox regression models (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS In the present study, patients treated by RARC with ICUD for UCB have a higher risk of recurrence after iBT, yet no significant association with CSS and OS was found. pBT are not associated with worse oncological prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant/induction chemotherapy (NAIC) improves survival in patients with muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma (MIBC). On-treatment response assessment may aid in decisions to continue or cease NAIC. OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FDG-PET/CT) could predict response to NAIC and compared to contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT). METHODS: We prospectively included 83 patients treated for MIBC (i.e. high-risk cT2-4N0M0 or cT1-4N+M0-1a) between 2014 and 2018. Response to NAIC was assessed after 2-3 cycles with FDG-PET/CT (Peter-Mac and EORTC criteria) and CECT (RECIST1.1 criteria). We assessed prediction of complete pathological response (pCR; ypT0N0), complete pathological down-staging (pCD;≤ypT1N0), any down-staging from baseline (ypTN < cTN) and progression (inoperable tumor/ypN+/M+). The reference standard was histopathological assessment or clinical follow-up. Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were calculated. RESULTS: Pathological response rates were 21% for pCR, 29% for pCD, and 10% progressed. All patients underwent FDG-PET/CT and 61 patients also underwent CECT (73%). Accuracy of FDG-PET/CT for prediction of pCR, pCD, and progression were 73%, 48%, and 73%, respectively. Accuracy of CECT for prediction of pCR, pCD, and progression were 78%, 65%, and 67%, respectively. Specificity of CECT was significantly higher than FDG-PET/CT for prediction of pCD and any down-staging (p = 0.007 and p = 0.022). In all other analyses, no significant differences between FDG-PET/CT and CECT were found. CONCLUSIONS: Routine FDG-PET/CT has insufficient predictive power to aid in response assessment compared to CECT.

Abstract
Sex-specific differences in outcomes of patients diagnosed with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) have been reported with controversial findings. This study aims to investigate sex-specific diversities in the treatment and oncologic outcomes of primary HR-NMIBC in a multicenter setting. A multicenter retrospective analysis of 519 patients (388 men and 131 women) treated with transurethral resection (TUR) for primary HR-NMIBC was performed. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression models were used to investigate the association of clinico-pathologic features and generate hazard ratios (HRs). Second-look TUR (reTUR) was performed in 406 (78%) patients. A total of 218 (42%) of patients were subjected to an induction course of intravesical BCG (Bacillus Calmette−Guérin) plus maintenance therapy. The median follow-up was 44 months. Among the entire cohort, 238 (46%) and 86 patients (17%) had recurred and progressed to muscle-invasive disease (MIBC), respectively. Female sex was associated with increased risk of disease recurrence in the entire cohort: HR = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.48−2.55, p < 0.001 and HR = 1.91, 95% CI = 1.39−2.60, p < 0.001 in univariate and multivariate analysis, respectively. In patients subjected to reTUR and treated additionally with BCG, female sex was associated with increased risk of disease recurrence in univariate analysis (HR 1.81, 95% CI 1.07−3.06, p = 0.03), but not in multivariate analysis (HR 1.99, 95% CI 0.98−4.02, p = 0.06). There was no difference between sexes with regard to disease progression. HR-NMIBC diagnosed in females is associated with higher risk of disease recurrence when compared to males.

Abstract
Introduction: Adjuvant therapy has no defined role for patients with positive surgical margins (PSMs) following radical cystectomy (RC) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The aim of our study was to describe loco-regional recurrence-free survival (LRFS), metastatic-free survival (MFS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) and identify predictors of each endpoint in patients with PSMs following RC for MIBC. Methods: A collaborative retrospective cohort study was conducted on 394 patients with PSMs who underwent RC for MIBC between January 2000 and December 2018 at 10 tertiary referral centers. Patients receiving perioperative radiotherapy were excluded from the study. Kaplan−Meier curves were used to estimate patient survival. Cox regression analysis was used to identify predictors of survival. Results: Median age at surgery was 70 years (IQR 62−76) with 129 (33%) and 204 (52%) patients had pT3 and pT4 tumors, respectively. Nodal metastasis (pN+) was identified in 148 (38%). Soft tissue PSMs were found in 283 (72%) patients, urethral PSMs in 65 (16.5%), and ureteral PSMs were found in 73 (18.5%). The median follow-up time was 44 months (95% CI 32−60). Median LRFS, MRFS, RFS, CSS, and OS were 14 (95% CI 11−17), 12 (95% CI 10−16), 10 (95% CI 8−12), 23 (95% CI 18−33), and 16 months (95% CI 12−19), respectively. On multivariable Cox regression analysis, the pT3−4 stage, pN+ stage, and multifocal PSMs were independent predictors of LRFS, MRFS, RFS, and OS. Adjuvant chemotherapy improved all oncological outcomes studied (p < 0.05). The number of lymph nodes removed was independently associated with better LRFS, MRFS, and RFS. Advanced age at diagnosis was independently associated with worse OS. Conclusion: Patients with PSMs following RC have poor outcomes since half of them will recur within a year and will die of their disease. Among all PSMs types, patients with multifocal PSMs harbor the worst prognosis. We observed a benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy, but clinical trials evaluating innovative adjuvant strategies for these patients remain an unmet need.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: High grade, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is treated with intravesical Bacillus Calmette–Guérin. Chemohyperthermia therapy (CHT) may be a novel alternative therapy for the treatment of NMIBC. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the recurrence-free survival (RFS) of patients treated with CHT using the Combat bladder recirculation system (BRS) for NMIBC. METHODS: This was a prospective multi-institutional study of 1,028 consecutive patients with NMIBC undergoing CHT between 2012 and 2020. A total of 835 patients were treated with CHT and Mitomycin C (MMC). Disease was confirmed on transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Patients with NMIBC underwent CHT with MMC. Follow-up included cystoscopy and subsequent TURBT if recurrence/progression was suspected. The primary endpoint was RFS. Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and adverse events from CHT. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Median follow up was 22.4 months (Interquartile range (IQR): 12.8 –35.8). Median age was 70.4 years (IQR: 62.1 –78.6). A total of 557 (66.7%), 172 (20.6) and 74 (8.9%) of patients were classified to BCG naïve, BCG unresponsive and BCG refractory/relapsing/intolerant, respectively. The RFS at 12 months and 24 months for BCG naïve was 87.6% (95% CI 85.0% - 90.4%) and 75.0% (95% CI 71.3% - 78.8%), respectively. The RFS at 12 months and 24 months for BCG unresponsive cohort was 78.1% (95% CI 72.0% - 84.7%) and 57.4% (95% CI 49.7% - 66.3%), respectively. The RFS at 24 months for the BCG unresponsive cohort for CIS positive and CIS negative patients were 43.6% (95% CI 31.4% –60.4%) and 64.5% (95% CI 55.4% - 75.1%), respectively. Minor events occurred in 216 (25.6%) of patients and severe events occurred in 17 (2.0%). CONCLUSIONS: CHT with MMC using the Combat BRS is effective in the medium term and has a favorable adverse event profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Literature lacks clear evidence regarding the optimal treatment for non-muscle-invasive micropapillary bladder cancer (MPBC) due to its rarity and the presence of only small sample size and single-centre studies. OBJECTIVE To assess cancer-specific mortality (CSM) and overall mortality (OM) between immediate radical cystectomy (RC) and conservative management among T1 high-grade (HG) MPBC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We retrospectively analysed a multicentre dataset including 119 T1 HG MPBC patients treated between 2005 and 2019 at 15 tertiary referral centres. The median follow-up time was 35 mo (interquartile range: 19-64). INTERVENTION Patients underwent immediate RC versus conservative management with bacillus Calmette-Guérin. OUTCOMES MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Cumulative incidence functions and Kaplan-Meier methods were applied to estimate survival outcomes. Multivariable Cox analyses were performed to assess independent predictors of disease recurrence and disease progression after conservative management; covariates consisted of pure MPBC, concomitant lymphovascular invasion (LVI), and carcinoma in situ at initial diagnosis. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Immediate RC and conservative management were performed in 27% and 73% of patients, respectively. CSM and OM did not differ significantly among patient treated with immediate RC versus conservative management (Pepe-Mori test p = 0.5 and log-rank test p = 0.9, respectively). Overall, 66.7% and 34.5% of patients experienced disease recurrence and disease progression after conservative management, respectively. At multivariable Cox analyses, concomitant LVI was an independent predictor of disease recurrence (p = 0.01) and progression (p = 0.03), while pure MPBC was independently associated with disease progression (p = 0.03). The absence of a centralised re-review and the retrospective design represent the main limitations of our study. CONCLUSIONS Conservative management could achieve satisfactory results among T1 HG MPBC patients with neither pure MPBC nor LVI at initial diagnosis. PATIENT SUMMARY Bacillus Calmette-Guérin seems to be an effective therapy for T1 micropapillary bladder cancer patients with neither pure micropapillary disease nor lymphovascular invasion at initial diagnosis.

Abstract
Despite treatment with cisplatin-based chemotherapy and surgical resection, clinical outcomes of patients with locally advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) remain poor. We compared neoadjuvant/induction platinum-based combination chemotherapy (NAIC) with combination immune checkpoint inhibition (cICI). We identified 602 patients who attended our outpatient bladder cancer clinic in 2018-2019. Patients were included if they received NAIC or cICI for cT3-4aN0M0 or cT1-4aN1-3M0 UC. NAIC consisted of cisplatin-based chemotherapy or gemcitabine-carboplatin in case of cisplatin-ineligibility. A subset of patients (cisplatin-ineligibility or refusal of NAIC) received ipilimumab plus nivolumab in the NABUCCO-trial (NCT03387761). Treatments were compared using the log-rank test and propensity score-weighted Cox regression models. We included 107 stage III UC patients treated with NAIC (n=83) or cICI (n=24). NAIC was discontinued in 11 patients due to progression (n=6;7%) or toxicity (n=5;6%), while cICI was discontinued in 6 patients (25%) after 2 cycles due to toxicity (p=0.205). After NAIC, patients had surgical resection (n=50;60%), chemoradiation (n=26;30%), or no consolidating treatment due to progression (n=5;6%) or toxicity (n=2;2%). After cICI, all patients underwent resection. After resection (n=74), complete pathological response (ypT0N0) was achieved in 11 (22%) NAIC-patients and 11 (46%) cICI-patients (p=0.056). Median (IQR) follow-up was 26 (20-32) months. cICI was associated with superior progression-free survival (p=0.003) and overall survival (p=0.003) compared to NAIC. Our study showed superior survival in stage III UC patients pretreated with cICI if compared to NAIC. Our findings provide a strong rationale for validation of cICI for locally advanced UC in a comparative phase-3 trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The preoperative lymph node (LN) staging of bladder cancer (BCa) addresses the subsequent therapeutic strategy and influences patient's prognosis. However, sparce evidence exists regarding the accuracy of conventional cross-sectional imaging, such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, in correctly detect LN status. We aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of conventional cross-sectional imaging in detecting preoperative LN involvement among BCa patients treated with radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data of 1,104 patients who underwent preoperative LN staging with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging and subsequent radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection for BCa between 1997 and 2017 at three tertiary referral centers. Patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy were excluded. We assessed the concordance between clinical (cN) and pathological LN (pN) status, defined as the accuracy of imaging in detecting LN involvement using pathological specimen as reference; concordance was expressed according to Cohen's kappa coefficient. Location-based sub-analyses were performed, distinguishing among external iliac, intern iliac, obturator, common iliac, presacral and paraaortic LNs. RESULTS Among 870 cN0 patients, 68.9% were confirmed pN0 at pathological report; while among 234 cN+ patients, 50.5% were found with LN metastases at pathological specimen. Overall, conventional imaging showed slight concordance (64.9%) between cN and pN stages (sensitivity: 30%; specificity: 84%). At sub-analysis, no agreement between cN and pN status was found in each LN location, with the only exception of common iliac LNs with slight concordance (37.5%). Common iliac LNs achieved the highest sensitivity and positive likelihood ratio (15% and 2.4, respectively) compared to other LN locations. CONCLUSIONS Overall, preoperative cross-sectional imaging exhibited a slight concordance between cN and pN status. Our location-based sub-analyses showed unsatisfactory results in each LN location- Thus, nomograms combining morphological patterns with serological and clinicopathological features are urgently required.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Localized urachal cancer (UrC) can be treated with an open partial cystectomy (OPC) with en bloc resection of the urachal remnant and umbilicus. Robot-assisted partial cystectomy (RAPC) is an alternative approach, of which its safety and efficacy for UrC remains to be determined. In the present study, we analyze these outcomes after RAPC, compared with OPC. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 55 cN0M0 UrC patients who underwent RAPC (n = 8) or OPC (n = 47) between 1994 and 2020. Overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were assessed using Kaplan-Meier methods. Positive surgical margins (PSM), port-site recurrences (PSR) versus wound recurrences were compared. Complications were recorded using the Clavien-Dindo classification. RESULTS Median follow-up was 40 months (IQR 21-95). Two-year OS and RFS for RAPC were 73% (95% confidence intervals (CI); 56-89 months) and 60% (95% CI; 42-78 months), respectively, versus 90% (95% CI; 85-95 months) and 66% (95% CI; 59-73 months) for OPC. PSM rate was 13% in both groups. PSR occurred in 2/8 (25%) patients after RAPC. No wound recurrences occurred after OPC. Postoperative complications occurred in 2/8 (25%) patients after RAPC, versus 5/47 (11%) after OPC (p = 0.27). CONCLUSION Both RAPC and OPC seem feasible surgical modalities to treat localized UrC with comparable survival. The PSR rate of 25% after RAPC should prompt us to be cautious to recommend RAPC as no such recurrences were seen using OPC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE The Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) only reports the post-operative complication of highest grade. It is thus of limited value for radical cystectomy after which patients usually experience multiple complications. The CCI is a novel scoring system which incorporates all post-operative events in one single value. To adopt the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) for the evaluation of complications in patients undergoing Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy (RARC) with Intra-Corporeal Urinary Diversion (ICUD) and explore its advantages in the analysis of the morbidity of RARC with ICUD. PATIENTS AND METHODS Multicentric cohort of 959 patients undergoing RARC+ICUD between 2015-2020, whose complications are encoded in local prospective registries. Post-operative complications at 30 days were assessed using both the CDC and CCI. The CCI was calculated using an online tool (assessurgery.com). Risk factors for overall, major complications (CDC≥III) and CCI were evaluated using uni- and multivariable logistic and linear regressions. To analyse the potential advantage of using the CCI in clinical trials, a sample size calculation of a hypothetic clinical trial was performed using as endpoint reduction of morbidity with either the CDC or CCI. RESULTS Overall, 885 post-operative complications were reported in 507 patients (53%). The CCI improved the definition of post-operative morbidity in 22.6% of patients. Male sex and neobladder were associated to major complications and to a significant increase in CCI on adjusted regressions. In a hypothetical clinical trial, 80 patients would be needed to demonstrate a ten point reduction in CCI, compared to 186 needed to demonstrate an absolute risk reduction of 20% in overall morbidity using the CDC. CONCLUSION CCI improves the evaluation of post-operative morbidity by considering the cumulative aspect of complications compared to the CDC. Implementing the CCI for radical cystectomy would help reducing sample sizes in clinical trials.

Abstract
Objective: Renal fusion anomalies are rare and usually present as horseshoe kidneys or crossed fusion ectopia. The complex renal anatomy seen in patients with these anomalies can present a challenge. Pre-operative planning is therefore paramount in the surgical management of these cases. Herein we report the use of interactive virtual three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction to aid renal surgery in patients with fusion anomalies of the kidney. Materials and Methods: A total of seven cases were performed between May 2016 and October 2020. 3D reconstruction was rendered by Innersight Labs using pre-operative computed tomography (CT) scans. Results: Five patients had malignant disease and two patients had benign pathology. Robotic and open operations were performed in four and three patients, respectively. Conclusion: The use of 3D reconstruction in the cases reported in this series allowed for the identification of variations in renal vasculature, and this informed the choice of operative approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether continuing the antiplatelet drug acetylsalicylic acid≤100mg (ASA) during Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) increases the risk of peri-and postoperative hemorrhagic complications and overall morbidity. Indeed, guidelines recommend interrupting antiplatelet therapy before radical cystectomy; however, RARC with ICUD is associated to reduced estimated blood loss and blood transfusions compared to its open counterpart. METHODS Data from a multicentric European database were analyzed. All participating centers maintained a prospective database of patients undergoing RARC with ICUD. We identified patients receiving antiplatelet therapy by acetylsalicylic acid ≤100mg. Patients were divided into three groups: those not taking acetylsalicylic acid (no-ASA), those where ASA was continued perioperatively (c-ASA) and those where ASA was interrupted perioperatively (i-ASA). Estimated blood loss and peri-and post-operative transfusions were recorded. Hemorrhagic complications, ischemic, thrombotic and cardiac morbidity was recorded and classified using the Clavien-Dindo score by a senior urologist. RESULTS 640 patients were analyzed. Patients on acetylsalicylic acid were significantly older and had more comorbidities. No significant difference was found for estimated blood loss between no-ASA, c-ASA and i-ASA (280 vs. 300 vs. 200ml respectively; P = 0.09). Similarly, no significant difference was found for intraoperative (5% vs. 9% vs. 11%; P = 0.07) and postoperative transfusion rate (11% vs. 13% vs. 18%; P = 0.17). Higher ischemic complications were noted in the i-ASA group compared to no-ASA and c-ASA (4% vs. 0.6% vs. 1.4%; P = 0.03). On uni and multivariate logistic regression, continuing acetylsalicylic acid was not significantly associated to either major complications or post-operative transfusions. CONCLUSIONS Peri-operative acetylsalicylic acid continuation in RARC with ICUD does not increase hemorrhagic complications. Interrupting acetylsalicylic acid peri-operatively may expose patients to a higher risk of ischemic events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The recommended treatment for patients with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is radical cystectomy (RC). However, many patients refuse, or are unfit for RC. Therefore, alternative bladder-sparing treatment modalities are needed for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC. In this study we sought to assess the long-term efficacy of hyperthermic intravesical chemotherapy (HIVEC) as alternative to radical cystectomy in BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS Retrospectively collected data from 56 patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC who received ≥5 HIVEC instillations between October 2014 and March 2020 was analyzed. All patients met the BCG-unresponsive criteria according to the current EAU guideline on NMIBC 2020. Patients were followed-up with cystoscopy and/or bladder biopsies, urine cytology and annually CT-urography. The Primary outcome was the high grade (HG) recurrence-free survival (RFS), defined as the time from the first HIVEC instillation until histologically confirmed intravesical recurrence or last follow-up. The Kaplan Meier method was used to estimate survival outcomes. Secondary outcomes were: complete response rate (CR), adverse events (AE), assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0 (CTCAE) and tumor progression to muscle invasive disease or distant metastases. RESULTS The median follow-up was 32.2 months (IQR 13.7-44.8). The 1- and 2-year HG-RFS was 53% (SE:6.8) and 35% (SE:6.9), respectively. The CR for patients with CIS was 70% (21/30) at 6 months. Overall, 80% of the population developed an AE, only 1 was classified as CTCAE ≥3. Limitation of this study was the small sample size. CONCLUSION HIVEC resulted in a 2-year HG-RFS of 35% for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC patients without severe side-effects and therefore HIVEC seems to be an alternative treatment option for patients who refuse or are unfit for RC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several groups have proposed features to identify low-risk patients who may benefit from endoscopic kidney-sparing surgery in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). OBJECTIVE To evaluate standard risk stratification features, develop an optimal model to identify ≥pT2/N+ stage at radical nephroureterectomy (RNU), and compare it with the existing unvalidated models. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This was a collaborative retrospective study that included 1214 patients who underwent ureterorenoscopy with biopsy followed by RNU for nonmetastatic UTUC between 2000 and 2017. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS We performed multiple imputation of chained equations for missing data and multivariable logistic regression analysis with a stepwise selection algorithm to create the optimal predictive model. The area under the curve and a decision curve analysis were used to compare the models. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Overall, 659 (54.3%) and 555 (45.7%) patients had ≤pT1N0/Nx and ≥pT2/N+ disease, respectively. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis of our model, age (odds ratio [OR] 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.0-1.03, p = 0.013), high-grade biopsy (OR 1.81, 95% CI 1.37-2.40, p < 0.001), biopsy cT1+ staging (OR 3.23, 95% CI 1.93-5.41, p < 0.001), preoperative hydronephrosis (OR 1.37 95% CI 1.04-1.80, p = 0.024), tumor size (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.01-1.17, p = 0.029), invasion on imaging (OR 5.10, 95% CI 3.32-7.81, p < 0.001), and sessile architecture (OR 2.31, 95% CI 1.58-3.36, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with ≥pT2/pN+ disease. Compared with the existing models, our model had the highest performance accuracy (75% vs 66-71%) and an additional clinical net reduction (four per 100 patients). CONCLUSIONS Our proposed risk-stratification model predicts the risk of harboring ≥pT2/N+ UTUC with reliable accuracy and a clinical net benefit outperforming the current risk-stratification models. PATIENT SUMMARY We developed a risk stratification model to better identify patients for endoscopic kidney-sparing surgery in upper tract urothelial carcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The European Association of Urology risk stratification dichotomizes patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) into two risk categories. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the predictive value of a new classification to better risk stratify patients eligible for kidney-sparing surgery (KSS). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This was a retrospective study including 1214 patients from 21 centers who underwent ureterorenoscopy (URS) with biopsy followed by radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for nonmetastatic UTUC between 2000 and 2017. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS A multivariate logistic regression analysis identified predictors of muscle invasion (≥pT2) at RNU. The Youden index was used to identify cutoff points. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS A total of 811 patients (67%) were male and the median age was 71 yr (interquartile range 63-77). The presence of non-organ-confined disease on preoperative imaging (p < 0.0001), sessile tumor (p < 0.0001), hydronephrosis (p = 0.0003), high-grade cytology (p = 0.0043), or biopsy (p = 0.0174) and higher age at diagnosis (p = 0.029) were independently associated with ≥pT2 at RNU. Tumor size was significantly associated with ≥pT2 disease only in univariate analysis with a cutoff of 2 cm. Tumor size and all significant categorical variables defined the high-risk category. Tumor multifocality and a history of radical cystectomy help to dichotomize between low-risk and intermediate-risk categories. The odds ratio for muscle invasion were 5.5 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.3-24.0; p = 0.023) for intermediate risk versus low risk, and 12.7 (95% CI 3.0-54.5; p = 0.0006) for high risk versus low risk. Limitations include the retrospective design and selection bias (all patients underwent RNU). CONCLUSIONS Patients with low-risk UTUC represent ideal candidates for KSS, while some patients with intermediate-risk UTUC may also be considered. This classification needs further prospective validation and may help stratification in clinical trial design. PATIENT SUMMARY We investigated factors predicting stage 2 or greater cancer of the upper urinary tract at the time of surgery for ureter and kidney removal and designed a new risk stratification. Patients with low or intermediate risk may be eligible for kidney-sparing surgery with close follow-up. Our classification scheme needs further validation based on cancer outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is sparse evidence on outcomes of resected occult LN metastases at the time of nephrectomy (synchronous disease). We sought to analyse a large international cohort of patients and to identify clinico-pathological predictors of long-term survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS We collected data of consecutive patients who underwent nephrectomy and LND for Tany cN0-1pN1 and cM0-1 RCC at 7 referral centres between 1988 and 2019. Patients were stratified into four clinico-pathological groups: (1) cN0cM0-pN1, (2) cN1cM0-pN1(limited, 1-3 positive nodes), (3) cN1cM0-pN1(extensive, > 3 positive nodes), and (4) cM1-pN1. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and associations with all-cause mortality (ACM) were evaluated using Cox models with multiple imputations. RESULTS Of the 4370 patients with LND, 292 patients with pN1 disease were analysed. Median follow-up was 62 months, during which 171 patients died. Median OS was 21 months (95% CI 17-30 months) and the 5-year OS rate was 24% (95% CI 18-31%). Patients with cN0cM0-pN1 disease had a median OS of 57 months and a 5-year OS rate of 43%. 5-year OS (median OS) decreased to 29% (33 months) in cN1cM0-pN1(limited) and to 23% (23 months) in cN1cM0-pN1(extensive) patients. Those with cM1-pN1 disease had the worst prognosis, with a 5-year OS rate of 13% (9 months). On multivariable analysis, age (p = 0.034), tumour size (p = 0.02), grade (p = 0.02) and clinico-pathological group (p < 0.05) were significant predictors of ACM. CONCLUSION Depending on clinico-pathological group, grade and tumour size, 5-year survival of patients with LN metastases varies from 13 to 43%. Patients with resected occult lymph node involvement (cN0/pN1 cM0) have the best prognosis with a considerable chance of long-term survival.

Abstract
Given the high risk of systemic relapse following initial therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), improved pretreatment staging is needed. We evaluated the incremental value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) after standard conventional staging, in the largest cohort of MIBC patients to date. This is a retrospective analysis of 711 consecutive patients with invasive urothelial bladder cancer who underwent staging contrast-enhanced CT (chest and abdomen) and FDG-PET/CT in a tertiary referral center between 2011 and 2020. We recorded the clinical stage before and after FDG-PET/CT and treatment recommendation based on the stage before and after FDG-PET/CT. Clinical stage changed after FDG-PET/CT in 184/711 (26%) patients. Consequently, the recommended treatment strategy based on imaging changed in 127/711 (18%) patients. In 65/711 (9.1%) patients, potential curative treatment changed to palliative treatment because of the detection of distant metastases by FDG-PET/CT. Fifty (7.0%) patients were selected for neoadjuvant/induction chemotherapy based on FDG-PET/CT. Moreover, FDG-PET/CT detected lesions suspicious for second primary tumors in 15%; a second primary malignancy was confirmed in 28/711 (3.9%), leading to treatment change in ten (1.4%) patients. Contrarily 57/711 (8.1%) had false positive secondary findings. In conclusion, FDG-PET/CT provides important incremental staging information, which potentially influences clinical management in 18% of MIBC patients, but leads to false positive results as well. PATIENT SUMMARY: In this report, we investigated the impact of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) scanning on treatment of bladder cancer patients. We found that FDG-PET/CT potentially influences the treatment of almost one-fifth of patients. We therefore suggest performing FDG-PET/CT as part of bladder cancer staging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preservation of erectile function is an important postoperative quality of life concern for patients after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. Although erectile function may recover, many men continue to suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED). AIM This study aims to determine whether satisfaction with sexual life improves in patients with ED after RARP and which factors are associated with satisfaction during follow-up. METHODS A review was carried out of a prospectively maintained database of patients with prostate cancer who underwent a RARP between 2006 and 2019. The "International Index of Erectile Function" questionnaire was used to describe ED (range 5-25), overall satisfaction with sexual life and sexual desire (range for both: 2-10). Patients with ED due to RARP were compared with those without ED after RARP. Mixed effect model was used to test differences in satisfaction over time. Mann-Whitney U tests and multiple logistic regression were used to assess factors associated with being satisfied at 24 and 36 months. OUTCOMES The main outcomes of this study are the overall satisfaction with sexual life score over time and factors which influence sexual satisfaction. RESULTS Data of 2808 patients were reviewed. Patients whose erectile function was not known (n = 643) or who had ED at the baseline (n = 1281) were excluded. About 884 patients were included for analysis. They had an overall satisfaction score of 8.4. Patients with ED due to RARP had mean overall satisfaction scores of 4.8, 4.8, 4.9, and 4.6 at 6 mo, 12 mo, 24 mo, and 36 mo. These scores were significantly lower than those of patients without ED at every time point. In multiple regression analysis, higher overall satisfaction score at the baseline and higher sexual desire at 24 and 36 months' follow-up were associated with satisfaction with sexual life at 24 and 36 months' follow-up. No association was found for erectile function. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Interventions focusing on adjustment to the changes in sexual functioning might improve sexual satisfaction; especially for those men who continue to suffer from ED. STRENGTHS & LIMITATIONS Strengths of this study are the large number of patients, time of follow-up, and use of multiple validated questionnaires. Our results must be interpreted within the limits of retrospectively collected, observational data. CONCLUSION Satisfaction with sexual life in men with ED due to RARP may take a long time to improve. One could counsel patients that sexual satisfaction is based on individual baseline sexual satisfaction and the return of sexual desire after RARP. Albers LF, Tillier CN, van Muilekom HAM, et al.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was carried out to assess whether a prolonged time between primary transurethral resection of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (TURB) and implementation of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy (time to BCG; TTBCG) is associated with adverse oncological survival in patients with T1 high-grade (HG) non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Data on 429 patients from 13 tertiary care centers with primary T1HG NMIBC treated with reTURB and maintenance BCG between 2001 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Change-point regression was applied following Muggeo's approach. The population was divided into subgroups according to TTBCG, whereas the recurrence-free survival (RFS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated with log-rank tests. Additionally, Cox regression analyses were performed. Due to differences in baseline patient characteristics, propensity-score-matched analysis (PSM) and inverse-probability weighting (IPW) were implemented. RESULTS The median TTBCG was 95 days (interquartile range (IQR): 71-127). The change-point regression analysis revealed a gradually increasing risk of recurrence with growing TTBCG. The risk of tumor progression gradually increased until a TTBCG of approximately 18 weeks. When the study population was divided into two subgroups (time intervals: ≤ 101 and > 101 days), statistically significant differences were found for both RFS (p = 0.029) and PFS (p = 0.005). Furthermore, in patients with a viable tumor at reTURB, there were no differences in RFS and PFS. After both PSM and IPW, statistically significant differences were found for both RFS and PFS, with worse results for longer TTBCG. CONCLUSION This study shows that delaying BCG immunotherapy after TURB of T1HG NMIBC is associated with an increased risk of tumor recurrence and progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The European Association of Urology guidelines recommend restaging transurethral resection of bladder tumours (reTURB) 2-6 weeks after primary TURB. However, in clinical practice some patients undergo a second TURB procedure after Bacillus Calmette-Guérin immunotherapy (BCG)induction. To date, there are no studies comparing post-BCG reTURB with the classic pre-BCG approach. The aim of this study was to assess whether the performance of reTURB after BCG induction in T1HG bladder cancer is related to potential oncological benefits. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from 645 patients with primary T1HG bladder cancer treated between 2001 and 2019 in 12 tertiary care centres were retrospectively reviewed. The study included patients who underwent reTURB before BCG induction (Pre-BCG group: 397 patients; 61.6%) and those who had reTURB performed after BCG induction (Post-BCG group: 248 patients, 38.4%). The decision to perform reTURB before or after BCG induction was according to the surgeon's discretion, as well as a consideration of local proceedings and protocols. Due to variation in patients' characteristics, both propensity-score-matched analysis (PSM) and inverse-probability weighting (IPW) were implemented. RESULTS The five-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 64.7% and 69.1% for the Pre- and Post-BCG groups, respectively, and progression-free survival (PFS) was 82.7% and 83.3% for the Pre- and Post-BCG groups, respectively (both: p > 0.05). Similarly, neither RFS nor PFS differed significantly for a five-year period or in the whole time of observation after the PSM and IPW matching methods were used. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that there might be no difference in recurrence-free survival and progression-free survival rates, regardless of whether patients have reTURB performed before or after BCG induction.

Abstract
The risk of developing urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) in patients treated by radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for an upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is 22% to 47% in the 2 years after surgery. Subject of debate remains whether UTUC and the subsequent UCB are clonally related or represent separate origins. To investigate the clonal relationship between both entities, we performed targeted DNA sequencing of a panel of 41 genes on matched normal and tumor tissue of 15 primary UTUC patients treated by RNU who later developed 19 UCBs. Based on the detected tumor‐specific DNA aberrations, the paired UTUC and UCB(s) of 11 patients (73.3%) showed a clonal relation, whereas in four patients the molecular results did not indicate a clear clonal relationship. Our results support the hypothesis that UCBs following a primary surgically resected UTUC are predominantly clonally derived recurrences and not separate entities. What's new? Patients treated by radical nephroureterectomy for upper urinary tract cancer have an increased risk of developing bladder carcinoma following surgery. It remains unclear, however, whether the upper urinary tract cancer and subsequent bladder carcinoma are clonally related or have separate origins. This targeted DNA sequencing study shows that almost 75% of patients have tumors that are clonally related, suggesting that seeding of tumor cells is the main mechanism of bladder carcinoma development following radical nephroureterectomy. This result underscores the need to minimalize the risk of seeding during surgery and/or diagnostic ureterorenoscopy plus biopsy, and to apply peri‐operative intravesical instillations with chemotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) is recommended for non-organ-confined bladder cancer (BCa) after radical cystectomy (RC) and pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND), but there are sparse data regarding its specific efficacy in patients with histological variants. The aim of our study was to evaluate the role of ACT on survival outcomes in patients with variant histology in a large multicenter cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated data of 3963 patients with BCa treated with RC and bilateral PLND with curative intent at several institutions between 1999 and 2018. The histological type was classified into six groups: pure urothelial carcinoma (PUC) or squamous, sarcomatoid, micropapillary, glandular and neuroendocrine differentiation. Multivariable competing risk analysis was applied to assess the role of ACT on recurrence and cancer-specific mortality (CSM) in each histological subtype. RESULTS Of the 3963 patients included in the study, 23% had variant histology at RC specimen and 723 (18%) patients received ACT. ACT was found to be significantly associated with reduced risk of recurrence (sub-hazard ratio [SHR]: 0.55, confidence interval [CI] 0.42-0.71, p < 0.001) and CSM (SHR: 0.58, CI 0.44-0.78, p < 0.001) in the PUC only, while no histological subtype received a significant benefit on survival outcomes (all p > 0.05) from administration of ACT. The limitation of the study includes the retrospective design, the lack of a central pathology review and the number of ACT cycles. CONCLUSION In our study, the administration of ACT was associated with improved survival outcomes in PUC only. No histological subtype found a benefit in overall recurrence and CSM from ACT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To prospectively study the impact of smoking on pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). MATERIALS & METHODS We collected standard clinicopathological variables, including smoking status (never, former, current) in patients undergoing NAC and RC for UCB at 12 European tertiary care centers between 12/2013-12/2015. Clinicopathological variables were compared according to smoking status. Multivariable logistic regression models were built to assess the association of smoking status and a) complete (no residual disease), b) partial (residual, non-muscle invasive disease), c) no pathological response (residual muscle invasive or lymph node positive disease). Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were employed to study the impact of response to NAC on survival. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Our final cohort consisted of 167 NAC patients with a median follow-up of 15 months (interquartile range (IQR) 9-26 months) of whom 48 (29%), 69 (41%), and 50 (30%) where never, former, and current smokers, respectively. Smoking was significantly associated with advanced age (p = 0.013), worse ECOG performance status (p = 0.049), and decreased pathological response to NAC (p = 0.045). On multivariable logistic regression analyses, former and current smoking status was significantly associated with lower odds of complete pathological response (odds ratio (OR) 0.37, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.16-0.87, p = 0.023, and OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.13-0.85, p = 0.021), while current smoking status was significantly associated with a greater likelihood of no pathological response (OR 2.49, 95% CI 1.02-6.06, p = 0.045). Response to NAC was confirmed as powerful predictor of survival. CONCLUSIONS Smoking status is adversely associated with pathological response to NAC. Smokers should be informed about these adverse effects, counseled regarding smoking cessation, and possibly be considered for immunotherpeutics as they may be more effective in smokers.

Abstract
5020 Background: Encouraging pathological complete response (pCR) rates were observed in trials testing neoadjuvant pembrolizumab or atezolizumab in urothelial cancer (UC). In cT3-4N0 tumors, pCR to atezolizumab was only 17% and restricted to tumors showing characteristics of preexisting T cell immunity. In NABUCCO, we aimed to increase response to pre-operative checkpoint blockade, particularly in high risk patients (pts), by combining ipi plus nivo in stage III UC. We previously reported pCR in 46% and downstaging to no remaining invasive disease in 58% (ESMO2019). Here, we present biomarker analyses and updated clinical follow-up (FU) data. Methods: Twenty four stage III (cT3-4aN0 or cT2-4aN1-3) UC pts who were unfit to receive cisplatin-based chemotherapy or refused, were treated with ipi 3 mg/kg (day 1), ipi 3 mg/kg + nivo 1 mg/kg (day 22), and nivo 3 mg/kg (day 43), followed by resection. The primary endpoint was feasibility (resection < 12 weeks). Efficacy (pCR), safety and biomarker analysis were secondary endpoints. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was done on baseline tumor samples and local lymph node (LN) metastases showing no response. RNA-seq and multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) for immune cell markers were done pre- and post-therapy. Results: After a median FU of 15.6 months, 2 pts relapsed (both non-pCR); 1 of these 2 pts died of metastatic disease. Tumors showing complete response (CR, for biomarker analysis defined as pCR, CIS or pTa) had a significantly higher tumor mutational burden than non-CR tumors. CR to ipi+nivo was independent of baseline CD8 T-cell presence. There was no difference between CR and non-CR tumors in baseline immune gene signatures, such as interferon gamma and T-effector signatures. Surprisingly, exploratory gene expression analysis revealed that non-CR was associated with a baseline B cell immune signature, particularly immunoglobulins and genes involved in B cell receptor signaling. CD20 positive cells (by mIF) and presence of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) at baseline were also associated with non-CR. Upon treatment with ipi+nivo, early and mature TLS increased significantly in responding tumors. A subset of pts showed CR in the bladder, but non-CR in a local LN tumor focus. WES revealed that these LN metastases were genetically different from the primary tumor bulk. Conclusions: At 15.6 months follow-up, recurrence after pre-operative ipi+nivo was low. Pathological complete response was not restricted to tumors exhibiting preexisting T cell immunity. Clinical trial information: NCT03387761 .

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the impact of perioperative chemotherapy on survival in cN+ BCa patients and analyze it according to the pN status. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 639 BCa patients with cTanyN1-3M0 BCa treated with radical cystectomy (RC) and bilateral lymph node dissection (LND) with or without perioperative chemotherapy in ten tertiary referral centers from 1990 to 2017. Selected cN+ patients received induction chemotherapy (IC), whereas adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) was delivered to selected pN+ patients. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to predict overall mortality (OM) after surgery, adjusting for clinicopathological confounders. Kaplan-Meier analyses assessed OM according to the treatment modality. RESULTS Overall, 356 (56%) patients were treated with surgery alone, 155 (24%) with IC followed by surgery, and 128 (20%) with ACT following surgery. Over a median follow-up of 25 months, 316 deaths were recorded. At univariable analysis, patients treated with IC and surgery had lower OM both considering cN+ [hazard ratio (HR) 0.65, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.49-0.87, p = 0.004] and cN+pN- patients (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.37-0.99, p = 0.05) compared to those treated with surgery alone. cN+pN+ patients treated with ACT experienced lower OM compared to those treated with IC or surgery alone at multivariable analysis (HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.22-0.74, p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Patients with cTany cN+ cM0 BCa benefit more in terms of OS when treated with IC followed by RC + LND compared to RC + LND alone, regardless of LNMs at final histopathology examination. More data are needed to assess the role of ACT in the management of cN+ patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Adjuvant studies with checkpoint inhibitors have attracted new interest in accurate pathological lymph node (LN) staging in renal cell carcinoma. Sentinel lymph node (SN) studies in cN0 patients revealed the pattern of lymphatic radiotracer drainage from renal tumors. The aim of this study was to describe the location of single- or oligometastatic LN and analyze if the topography of these first landing sites matches the drainage pattern observed in SN studies of renal tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS We collected data from 8 referral centers from 1990 to 2018 of all patients with pT1-4 cN0 or cN1 M0 renal cell carcinoma with pathologically confirmed single- or oligometastases in locoregional LN. The location of LN metastases, number, size of metastatic LN, and survival were analyzed using descriptive statistics with SPSS version 22 (IBM, Chicago, IL). RESULTS From 3,794 patients with histologically confirmed pN1, a total of 76 patients (2%) with single- or oligometastatic pN1 were identified, of whom 24 (31.6%) and 52 (68.4%) were cN0 and cN1, respectively. On the left side, LN metastases were predominantly located in the para-aortal (48.0%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 29.22-63.12%) and hilar (31.42%; 95% CI 17.4-49.4%) area. On the right side, metastases located in retrocaval (26.82%; 95% CI 14.7-43.2%), hilar (26.82%; 95% CI 14.7-43.2%), interaortocaval (26.82%; 95% CI 14.7-43.2%), and paracaval (17.07%; 95% CI 7.6-32.6%) LNs. These landing sites exactly matched the lymphatic drainage pattern of intratumorally injected radiotracer reported in SN studies for both sides. CONCLUSIONS Single- or oligometastatic LNs in renal cancer are mainly located in the hilar, retro-, para, and interaortocaval region on the right side and para-aortal region on the left side. These first landing sites match the drainage pattern reported in SN trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Urachal adenocarcinoma (UrAC) is a rare malignancy that can cause peritoneal metastases (PM). Analogous to other enteric malignancies, selected patients with limited PM of UrAC can be treated by cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to address the value of diagnostic laparoscopy (DLS) and abdominal cytology (ACyt) for the detection and evaluation of the extent of PM in patients with UrAC. METHODS A consecutive series of cN0M0 patients with UrAC who underwent DLS with or without ACyt at a tertiary referral center between 2000 and 2018 was assessed. Patients were staged with computed tomography (CT) and/or positron emission tomography (PET)/CT or bone scan. DLS was performed to rule out PM and to evaluate the extent and resectability of PM if seen on imaging. Sensitivity and specificity values were calculated for imaging, DLS, ACyt, and the combination of DLS and ACyt. RESULTS Thirty-two patients with UrAC underwent DLS. ACyt was obtained in 19 patients. Four patients had suspicion of PM on imaging. In the 28 patients who were PM-negative on imaging, DLS and ACyt revealed PM in 6 (21%) patients, of whom 5 had macroscopically visible PM; 1 patient had positive ACyt without visible PM. Sensitivity of combined DLS/ACyt for the detection of PM was 91%, with a specificity of 100%, whereas sensitivity of imaging was 36%. DLS correctly predicted resectability in all patients. CONCLUSION Combined DLS/ACyt proved an effective tool to detect occult PM and to evaluate the extent of PM to select UrAC patients for possible treatment with CRS/HIPEC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Radical cystectomy (RC) is considered standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (BC) and high-risk non-muscle invasive BC. In selected cases, bladder-sparing treatment using brachytherapy can be offered. We examined the outcome after brachytherapy in comparison to RC in terms of survival, complications and bladder preservation in patients with cT1G3-T2N0M0 BC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 1988 and 2016, 301 patients underwent brachytherapy in two centres. Overall survival (OS) and disease specific survival (DSS) after brachytherapy and RC were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves. Cox proportional hazards modelling was used to determine variables associated with OS and DSS. Local recurrences, bladder preservation and salvage cystectomy (SC) after brachytherapy were reported. Complications after brachytherapy, RC and SC were compared using CTCAE criteria. RESULTS Median follow-up was 9.6 years (95% confidence interval (CI): 8.8-10.4) after brachytherapy and 10.6 years (95% CI: 10.0-11.2) after RC. Five/10-year OS was 66%/49% after brachytherapy and 68%/53% after RC (p = 0.4). Five/10-year DSS was 73%/67% after brachytherapy and 75%/65% after RC (p = 0.8). Intravesical recurrence occurred in 58/259 brachytherapy patients after which salvage cystectomy was performed in 32 patients. In total, 84% of brachytherapy-treated patients preserved their bladder. The brachytherapy cohort experienced less high grade complications than the RC cohort (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION In selected patients with solitary, ≤5 cm cT1G3-T2N0M0 bladder tumours brachytherapy is a bladder-sparing therapy with good survival outcome and with a favourable complication rate compared to RC.
