Investigators report finding no significant difference in positive surgical margin rates among open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted approaches to partial cystectomy. Partial cystectomy for bladder ...

Radical cystectomy is the treatment of choice for nonmetastatic, muscle-infiltrating bladder cancer. Several researchers have proposed the use of a bladder-sparing approach in carefully selected ...

Partial cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer offers metastasis- and cancer-free survival comparable to that of radical cystectomy, but with less perioperative morbidity. Partial and radical ...

Bladder Cancer Survival Similar for Partial, Radical Cystectomy For select patients with bladder cancer, there is no difference in metastasis-free or cancer-specific survival with partial cystectomy ...

May 15, 2012 (Barcelona, Spain) — Survival rates with brachytherapy for the treatment of early-stage muscle-invasive cancer are comparable to the gold standard, cystectomy, and spare bladder function, ...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) of the bladder are rare, with a limited number of cases reported in the literature. Complete resection with negative margins is essential to reduce the risk ...

We developed a new three-dimensional (3D) head-mounted display (HMD) system (RoboSurgeon system) that combines a high-definition 3D organic electroluminescent HMD with a high-definition 3D endoscope ...

After the bladder is surgically removed and the urinary system diverted, most can return to their usual activities. “Life has its challenges, and this has certainly been one of them, but it has not ...

Bladder cancer is a disease of older patients, with increasing incidence with age, and rarely seen before age 40. The majority of patients present with noninvasive tumors that have a high recurrence ...
