Observational study on relapse occurrence and on the quality of life in patients who underwent nephroureterectomy surgery
A database has been created and will be used in which data will be collected in electronic format relating to adult patients who underwent one of the following endoscopic resection surgeries: TURBK, MAPPING, TURBK SECOND LOOK, BLADDER BIOPSIES.
The goal of this study is to better understand how to best treat participants with advanced bladder cancer who may not be able to tolerate all of the chemotherapy drugs that have been shown to be effective. In this study, investigators are assessing the role of the survey, the Geriatric-8, and its ability to predict outcomes in older participants undergoing cancer treatments. Additionally, investigators are evaluating the differential impact of treatments on quality of life in an older and at risk population.
A new drug, erdafitinib, became available for some patients with bladder cancer that has spread to other organs. To qualify, patients must have specific genetic changes in their tumors. Currently, doctors use tumor tissue samples to check for these genetic changes, but these samples might not accurately reflect the current state of the patient's cancer. In this study, Investigators will test the patient's blood for these genetic changes in addition to the tumor tissue samples. It is thought that the blood test will give a more accurate result. Investigators hope this study will help to find out if more patients can benefit from erdafitinib than the ones identified by tissue testing only.
The goal of this prospective clinical trial is to investigate the safety and efficacy of ST-02 (mucoadhesive gemcitabine suspension for pyelocaliceal instillation) to treat Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma (UTUC) in participants who have a low-grade tumor. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Can ST-02 effectively eradicate UTUC by 3 months? 2. Is ST-02 safe for patients with UTUC? Participants in this study will receive ST-02, a new formulation with gemcitabine once weekly for six weeks. Gemcitabine is known to be an effective drug in treating urothelial carcinoma. This new formulation will be instilled directly into the upper urinary tract (renal pelvis) and will allow the chemotherapeutic to work locally for an extended period of time. The administration process will be retrograde (via a small catheter inserted up into the kidney, under anesthesia) or antegrade (via a nephrostomy, in the clinic) once weekly for six weeks. Safety and efficacy will be monitored for up to a year after the initial response assessment.
The clinical feasibility of 18F-LN1 PET/CT will be evaluated in 30 patients with urothelial carcinoma, and the results will be compared with those of 18F-FDG.
In this study, we propose to conduct an ambispective study to analyze the safety of preserved renal unit surgery combined with postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy in patients with limited stage ureteral cancer with high risk factors, and the efficacy analysis compared with traditional radical surgery. It is hoped that a treatment method that preserves patients' renal function to improve the tolerance of subsequent drug therapy without decreasing the effect of tumor treatment can be achieved in patients with high-risk factors.
This study is an ambispective cohort observational study to analyze the efficacy of surgery alone versus postoperative adjuvant therapy (postoperative radiotherapy/postoperative chemotherapy(immunotherapy)/ combined strategy) in patients with the upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma with high-risk factors (postoperative pathology suggestive of pT2 and above, N+, G3/high-grade and multiple tumors, positive cut margins). A subgroup analysis was performed to obtain the population of patients who might benefit from different treatment approaches. Patients with high risk factors for postoperative recurrence or metastasis will be treated with relevant adjuvant therapy, which in turn will benefit patients.
The project aims to characterize the prognostic role of CTCs in Bladder cancer patients, with the specific aims to better stratify patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer at the first transurethral resection of tumor and to identify urothelial biomarker expressed by CTCs.
