Are referral centers for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer compliant to EAU guidelines? A report from the vesical antiblastic therapy Italian study

2011

<i>Introduction:</i> Adherence to international guidelines is viewed as a prerequisite for optimal medical care delivery. Previously reported surveys for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) employed mailed questionnaires to urologists or patients resulting in conflicting degrees of agreement with existing guidelines. In the current study, contemporary information on the management of NMIBC was generated from a sample of Italian centers. <i>Patients and Methods:</i> Eight Italian referral centers for the treatment of NMIBC were asked to collect information relative to all consecutive patients with a histology-proven NMIBC undergoing a transurethral resection fr…

PATIENT’S COMPLIANCE TO BCG. DO WE ADEQUATELY CONSIDER IT?

2014

Introduction: Several studies and meta-analysis demonstrated that BCG is the best treatment for conservative management of high-risk NMI-BC with a net benefit in terms of both recurrence-free and progression-free survival (1, 2). Maintenance lasting minimum one year is recommended. In spite of the effectiveness, the amount of patients who complete the manteinance schedule does not exceed 50% (3). The reasons of BCG maintenance interruption remain still unclear. The aim of our study was to investigate the causes of low adherence to 1-year full dose maintenance BCG in a large series. Patients and Methods: The clinical files of consecutive patients affected by T1 HG NMI-BC and undergoing adjuv…

S9-Fibronectin, EGF-R, HB-EGF:biomarkers of urothelial damage during intravesical adjuvant therapy?

2013

Intravesical chemotherapy and immunotherapy with BCG represent the standard therapy to prevent recurrence after transurethral resection (TUR) of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMI-BC). Maintenance for at least one year is considered the best regimen. Noteworthy, a relevant number of patients do not complete the planned treatment due to local toxicity of the drug given intravesically1, 2. A major challenge for the urologists is to identify an early urothelial damage biomarker to prevent severe local toxicity requiring treatment interruption and to improve patient's compliance. The preliminary purpose of our research was to verify the possible correlation between urothelial damage induce…
