View clinical trials related to Bladder Tumor.
Filter by:To evaluate the possibility to properly discriminate between healthy bladder tissue and BCa with a multimodal fiber optic spectroscopy (MFOS) technique, in order to possibly introduce a more objective way to detect BCa, thus reducing inter-observer variability and maybe to determine urothelial carcinoma stage and grade with a comparable accuracy, specificity and sensibility of the current gold standard histopathological analysis
The purpose of the study is to see if treatment with nivolumab plus bempegaldesleukin or nivolumab alone, before and after surgery to remove the bladder, is more effective than surgery alone in participants with high-risk urothelial cancer, including muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are not able to receive cisplatin chemotherapy.
To confirm the benefit of endoscopic resection under fluorescence and blue light of high grade non-muscle invasive bladder tumor, and verifying if the second endoscopic resection recommended nowadays can be deleted.
Recently many studies reported that intraoperative dexmedetomidine administration undergoing spinal anesthesia give a satisfactory sedation in elderly patients and cause less respiratory depressions compared other sedatives(e.g. benzodiazepine) But the optimal dose of dexmedetomidine for sedative effect in elderly patients undergoing spinal anesthesia was not got general consensus. The investigators hypothesized that the dose requirements would be lower than in elderly patients than young patients. Furthermore, intrathecal small dose opioids enhance the analgesia provided by bupivacaine due to synergistic effects and it would reduce the dose of dexmedetomidine. The purpose of this study was to determine the dose of dexmedetomidine to provide satisfactory sedation undergoing spinal anesthesia with or without additive small dose intrathecal opioids. Elderly patients(65~85 years old) undergoing TURP or TURB were enrolled in this single-blinded study. Forty patients were randomly assigned to receive intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine 6mg coadministered with 20mcg fentanyl or placebo normal saline 0.4cc. After the induction (bilateral T10 sensory level to pinprick within 5 mins of intrathecal drug administration), continuous intravenous dexmedetomidine was started in dose of 0.8, 0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, or 0.2mcg. Successful sedation was defined as OASS score 3 or 4 within 20 minutes of dexmedetomidine infusion. The dose of dexmedetomidine was selected for each patient according to an up and down method. Intraoperative arterial pressure, heart rate, and bispectral index was compared. Postoperative pain score, the time for the regression of sensory and motor was recorded for further analysis.
