Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE The significant impact of bladder cancer and treatment on patient health related quality of life (HRQoL) and emotional wellbeing has been documented. Increasing evidence from cancer research emphasizes the importance of examining patients supportive care needs and received social support as factors that could influence their emotional adjustment. The purpose of the study was to assess the demographic and clinical predictors of depression and anxiety among bladder cancer patients and its associations with patient reported supportive care needs and perceived availability of social support. METHODS A cross-sectional design was used to investigate the study questions. Bladder cancer patients were recruited from the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN) to complete a questionnaire that included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), bladder cancer patient need survey (BCNAS-32), and the social provisions scale (SPS). The inclusion criteria restricted our sample to include bladder cancer patients who were English speakers, aged 18-85 years, and were able and willing to provide informed consent. Patients who had metastatic disease, cancer recurrence, or other primary cancers at the time of assessment were excluded from the study. RESULTS Participants included 159 bladder cancer patients. The mean age was 62±9.4 years and 51% were male. Almost two-thirds (62%) of patients reported a diagnosis of muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), 25% patient reported clinically significant levels of anxiety, 17% reported clinically significant levels of depression, and 13% and 17% reported abnormal borderline abnormal levels for anxiety and depression, respectively. Univariate regression analyses revealed significant associations between HADS total score, HADS depression and anxiety subscales, patient age, physical functioning/daily living needs, sexuality needs, and perceived social support with higher total scores, anxiety, and depression scores associated with younger age, higher unmet needs, and lower levels of social support. Multivariate regression analyses, showed similar findings confirming the associations depicted by the univariate regression analyses. CONCLUSIONS Bladder cancer patients experience significant levels of depression and anxiety and these levels are associated with patient age, supportive care unmet needs and lack of social support. Patient focused interventions could be tailored to address these issues with the goal to improve patient HRQoL and emotional adjustment.

Abstract
Partial nephrectomy (PN) is an alternative to radical nephrectomy (RN) in the appropriate localized renal tumor. The scope of PN has expanded over time and, since the advent and proliferation of minimally invasive surgery, more surgeons have access to and have been trained in laparoscopic and robotic technology. Amid the changing surgical landscape, we sought to characterize the trends in management by cancer stage, institution type, and geographic location using the National Cancer Database (NCDB). We queried the NCDB for patients with kidney cancer from 2004 to 2019. Overall, 241,311 patients who underwent PN or RN were included in the study. The nephrectomy approach was categorized as robotic partial (RPN), robotic radical (RRN), laparoscopic partial (LPN), laparoscopic radical (LRN), open or unspecified partial (OPN), and open or unspecified radical (ORN). The categorical variables were presented as frequency and percentages. Overall, there was an increase in the utilization of robotic approaches from 2010 to 2019. For cT1 tumors, the use of RPN and RRN increased from 14.27 to 33.06% and 5.24% to 19.63%, respectively. The use of ORN for cT2 and cT3 tumors declined, with rates dropping from 54.71 to 10.76% and 64.71 to 46.64%, respectively. Conversely, the utilization of RRN rose during this period. However, ORN remained the most common approach for cT3 tumors. The use of RPN increased across different facility types, with the highest utilization observed in academic/research programs. The use of ORN for cT2 and cT3 tumors declined across facility types, although it remained most prevalent in community cancer programs. The use of robot-assisted surgery to treat localized renal cancer increased in the US between 2010 and 2019 across all stages of disease. RPN became the most used approach for cT1 disease, while LRN was preferred for cT2 disease. ORN remained the approach of choice for cT3 disease throughout the study period. Trends in facility type and geographic location largely mirrored the overall trends.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this secondary analysis of mobile health headache diary data, we evaluated the relationship between adherence to medication used for the acute treatment of migraine and lifetime history of an anxiety or depression disorder. BACKGROUND Medication non-adherence can produce poor clinical efficacy and may be associated with medication overuse. Medication overuse was defined by taking a migraine-specific medication (MSM) for ≥10 days/month, an opioid or barbiturate for ≥10 days/month, or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug for ≥15 days/month and having ≥15 headache days/month. Extant literature predominantly evaluates fixed-schedule medication adherence. Little is known about predictors of adherence to as-needed medication such as those used for the acute treatment of migraine. METHODS Adults with prior migraine diagnosis and at least 4 headache days/month completed baseline questionnaires assessing lifetime history of depression or anxiety disorder diagnoses and were asked to record 90 days of once-daily electronic headache diaries soliciting: Headache occurrence; symptoms; medication taken, if any, for the acute treatment of migraine; and their pain level (mild, moderate, severe) when the medication was taken. The 193 participants who completed ≥30 days of headache diary were included in this secondary analysis. RESULTS A MSM was used as the first medication taken on 45.7% (2825/6176) of headache days. Nearly a quarter of the sample (45/193, 23.3%) overused medications for acute treatment of migraine. Medication overuse was more common in patients with a history of an anxiety disorder, odds ratio (OR) 2.01 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-3.69), but this relationship was not significant when headache days were accounted for, OR 2.02 (95% CI 0.83-4.91). Neither a history of a depression disorder, OR 1.40 (95% CI 0.90-2.16), nor an anxiety disorder, OR 1.11 (95% CI 0.71-1.72), was associated with taking medications early; however, duration of self-monitoring was associated with taking MSM early, OR 1.006 (95% CI 1.004-1.009). CONCLUSION Lifetime history of depression and anxiety were not associated with taking a MSM early. Medication overuse may be more common in patients who have both migraine and anxiety. Taking a MSM early improved over time for all participants, even when adjusting for a history of an anxiety and or a depression disorder.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To profile the cell-free urine supernatant and plasma of a small cohort of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients by measuring the relative concentrations of 92 proteins related to inflammation. Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we then performed a targeted mRNA analysis of genes encoding the above proteins and defined their effects on overall survival (OS). SUBJECTS/PATIENTS AND METHODS Samples were collected prospectively from ccRCC patients. A multiplex proximity extension assay was used to measure the concentrations of 92 inflammation-related proteins in cell-free urine supernatants and plasma. Transcriptomic and clinical information from ccRCC patients was obtained from TCGA. Unsupervised clustering and differential protein expression analyses were performed on protein concentration data. Targeted mRNA analysis on genes encoding significant differentially expressed proteins was performed using TCGA. Backward stepwise regression analyses were used to build a nomogram. The performance of the nomogram and clinical benefit was assessed by discrimination and calibration, and a decision curve analysis, respectively. RESULTS Unsupervised clustering analysis revealed inflammatory signatures in the cell-free urine supernatant of ccRCC patients. Backward stepwise regressions using TCGA data identified transcriptomic risk factors and risk groups associated with OS. A nomogram to predict 2-year and 5-year OS was developed using these risk factors. The decision curve analysis showed that our model was associated with a net benefit improvement compared to the treat-all/none strategies. CONCLUSION We defined four novel biomarkers using proteomic and transcriptomic data that distinguish severity of prognosis in ccRCC. We showed that these biomarkers can be used in a model to predict 2-year and 5-year OS in ccRCC across different tumour stages. This type of analysis, if validated in the future, provides non-invasive prognostic information that could inform either management or surveillance strategies for patients.

Abstract
The current standard of care for patients with end-stage renal disease (ERSD) is a kidney transplant or dialysis when a donor organ isnot available. The growing gap between patients who require a kidney transplant and the availability of donor organs as well as thenegative effects of long-term dialysis, such as infection, limited mobility, and risk of cancer development, drive the impetus to developalternative renal replacement technology. The goal of this review is to assess the potential of two of the most recent innovations inkidney transplant technology-the implantable bioartificial kidney (BAK) and kidney regeneration technology-in addressing the aforementionedproblems related to kidney replacement for patients with ERSD. Both innovations are fully implantable, autologous, personalizedwith patient cells, and can replace all aspects of kidney function. Not only do these new innovations have the potential toimprove the possibility of transplantation for more patients, they also have potential to improve the outcome of transplantation or dialysis-related renal cancer diagnosis. A major limitation of the current technology is that both implantable BAK and kidney regenerationtechnology are still in preclinical stages, and thus their potential effects cannot be comprehensively generalized to human patients.

Abstract
Purpose: Single-port (SP) robotic surgery is a new technology and early in its adoption curve. The goal of this study is to compare the perioperative outcomes of SP to multi-port (MP) robotic technology for partial nephrectomy. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of patients who have undergone robot-assisted partial nephrectomy using SP and MP technology. Baseline demographic, clinical, and tumor-specific characteristics and perioperative outcomes were compared using χ2, t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test in the overall cohort and in a 1:1 propensity score-matched cohort, adjusting for baseline characteristics. Results: After propensity matching, 146 SP patients were matched with 146 MP patients. SP and MP groups had similar mean age (58 ± 12 years vs 59 ± 12 years; p = 0.606) and proportion of men (54.11% vs 52.05%; p = 0.725). The SP had a longer mean ischemia (18.29 ± 10.49 minutes vs 13.79 ± 6.29 minutes; p < 0.001). Estimated blood loss (EBL) and length of hospital stay (LOS), operative time, positive margin rate, and any complication rate were similar between the two groups. Conclusions: SP partial nephrectomy had a longer ischemia time, and a comparable LOS, EBL, operative time, positive margin rates, and complication rates to MP. These early data are encouraging. However, the role of SP requires further study and should evaluate safety and long-term data when compared with the standard MP technique.

Abstract
Recent innovations in systemic therapy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) have occurred at a break-neck pace. In the 1980s, nontargeted cytokine-mediated immunotherapy was the systemic therapy of choice. Based on improvements in tolerability and patient outcomes, targeted antiangiogenic agents supplanted cytokines in the early 2000s. During the last decade, the most recent innovation has come in the form of immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), a form of immunotherapy that enhances immune-mediated tumor cell destruction. ICIs improve on all prior iterations of systemic therapies and have become the first-line therapy for many mRCC indications. ICIs have been shown to increase overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and complete response rate (CRR) in mRCC patients. We reviewed the recent trends associated with ICI management of mRCC, their immune-related adverse events, and cost implications.
