Incidence and management of prostatic urethra recurrence in a cohort of 21 patients who received BCG induction for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
CONCLUSION: Patients with PU recurrences following intravesical BCG have a high-risk disease phenotype with a significant risk of recurrence. Conservative management may be appropriate for well-selected patients who do not desire a cystoprostatectomy.PMID:38688797 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.04.017 (Source: Urologic Oncology)

Cost of upper tract imaging obtained during hematuria evaluation: Analysis of a national claims database
CONCLUSIONS: In this nationally representative analysis, hematuria evaluation confers a significant cost burden, while the primary factor associated with higher costs of screening was imaging type. Based upon reduced cost of US-based strategies, further investigation should delineate its cost-effectiveness in the diagnosis of urological disease.PMID:38679529 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.03.008 (Source: Urologic Oncology)

Efficacy of conduction hyperthermia in the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer: A systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: Studies on conduction hyperthermia present great variability, which do not allow us to determine the superiority of 1 device over another in terms of recurrence, progression, and/or adverse effects. Further research with consistent administration protocols is crucial for definitive conclusions.PMID:38670818 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.03.013 (Source: Urologic Oncology)

Voided urine cytology is a useful tool predicting non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer risk before surgery
CONCLUSIONS: VUC appears to be a good, inexpensive and easily available method to determine risk stratification before surgery. This can be useful in daily practice to determine which patients should receive a single instillation of MMC and to prioritize patients more likely to have a high- risk tumor.PMID:38664179 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.03.014 (Source: Urologic Oncology)

Prognostic significance of lymph node count in surgically treated patients with T < sub > 2-4 < /sub > stage nonmetastatic adrenocortical carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: Lymphadenectomy provides a prognostic benefit in nmACC patients and identifies pN1 patients with dismal prognosis. Conversely, in pN0 patients, a LNC cut-off ≥4 identifies those with particularly favorable prognosis.PMID:38653591 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.04.003 (Source: Urologic Oncology)
