Objective To assess the clinical efficacy and treatment-induced side effects of intravesically administered bacillus calmette-guerin (BCG) plus chemotherapy following TURB-t in patients with superficial bladder cancer compared with BCG alone.Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified from PubMed (1950 to December 2006), Ovid (1966 to December 2006), EMbase (1984 to December 2006), The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2006), CBM (1978 to 2006) and VIP (1989 to 2006). We also handsearched relevant published and unpublished reports as well as their references.The quality of included trials was evaluated by two reviewers. We used The Cochrane Collaboration’ s RevMan 4.2.9 software for statistical analysis. Results Four studies involving 681 patients were included. Meta-analyses showed that, in patients with Ta and T1 bladder cancer, there was a significant difference in the recurrence rate between intravesically administered BCG plus chemotherapy and BCG alone (RR 0.69, 95%CI 0.53 to 0.90). In patients with Tis bladder cancer, no significant difference was found in the recurrence rate between the two groups (RR 1.22, 95%CI 0.97 to 1.54). In patients with Ta, T1 and Tis bladder cancer, no statistically significant difference was found in the incidence of side effects (RR 0.85, 95%CI 0.70 to 1.03). Conclusion Compared with BCG alone, intravesically administered BCG plus chemotherapy in patients with Ta and T1 superficial bladder cancer can reduce the incidence of tumor recurrence more effectively. For patients with Tis bladder cancer, the two therapeutic regimens do not differ in the incidence of tumor recurrence. The two regimens have similar side effects. There is a moderate possibil ity of selection bias, performance bias and publ ication bias in the small number of included studies, which weakens the strength of the evidence of our results. Better evidence from more high-quality double-blind randomized controlled trials is needed.
Objective To determine whether intravesically administered Adriamycin can prevent superficial bladder tumor to recur through assessing the efficacy of with intravesical Adriamycin and without intravesical Adriamycin after TURB-t. Method The search strategy was made according to the demand of Cochrane Collaboration. Medline, Embase，CBMdisc and the Cochrane Library were searched for RCTs. Data were extracted by two reviewers using the designed extraction form. RevMan were used for data management and analysis. Results Thirty three relevant trials were searched, of which eighteen trials were included and fifteen trials were excluded. Meta-analysis showed intravesically administered Pirarnbicin (THP), Epirubicin (EPI) and Adriamycin (ADM) can reduce the recurrence rate of superficial bladder cancer after operation during one or two years. Conclusions Intravesically administered THP, EPI and ADM can reduce the recurrence rate of superficial bladder cancer after TUPB-t’s operation during one or two years. In addition, the factors affecting the prognosis should be performed, such as the dosage of irrigation of bladder, reserving time and the course.
Objective To assess the efficacy and the treatment-induced side effects of intravesically administered Epirubicin (EPI) following TUR in patients with Ta and T1 superficial bladder cancer compared to TUR alone. Methods According to the Cochrane reviewer’s handbook, included studies were those on patients with histologically confirmed Ta and T1 bladder cancer. EPI and EPI derivatives, dose and schedule would be considerd appropriate for inclusion. The search strategy was developed according to the Collaborative Review Group search strategy. Medline, EMbase, CBMdisc and the Cochrane library, articles of conference proceedings, and academic collections were searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCT comparing intravesical EPI following TUR with TUR alone. Data were extracted from each identified paper independently by two reviewers. Trials were assessed for quality according to the method of Jadad scale. RevMan4.2 software developed by the Cochrane Collaboration was used for satistical analysis. Results Two hundred and thirteen related articles were identified, but only 10 were included in our systematic review. 3 articles were high quality and the rest were low. The pooled RR=1.51 (95%CI 1.32 to 1.72) and the pooled RR=1.49 (95%CI 1.35 to 1.66) in patients with Ta and T1 bladdercancer at 1 and 2 years respectively; The pooled RR=1.34 (95%CI 1.22 to 1.48) when comparing relative efficacy of intravesical EPI (drug doselt;50 mg) following TUR with TUR alone; The pooled RR=1.63 (95%CI 1.48 to 1.79) when comparing relative efficacy of intravesical EPI (drug dosegt;50 mg) following TUR with TUR alone. RR=1.49 (95%CI 1.33 to 1.66) and RR=1.56 (95%CI 1.36 to 1.84) when comparing relative efficacy of single intravesical EPI following TUR with TUR alone respectively. RR=0.79 (95%CI 0.53 to 1.17) when comparing the incidence of disease progression of intravesical doxorubicin following TUR with TUR alone. RR=4.34 (95%CI 2.62 to 7.19) when comparing side effect of intravesical EPI following TUR with TUR alone. Conclusions Intravesically administered EPI following TUR in patients with Ta and T1 superficial bladder cancer may reduce the incidence of tumour recurrence, but cannot reduce the incidence of disease progreesion. Intravesically administered EPI following TUR has some side effects but can be tolerated and has no influence on the life of patients.
目的:探讨ΔNp63和Ki67在膀胱移行上皮癌(transitional cell carcinoma of bladder,TCCB)中的免疫组化表达及与膀胱癌病理分级、临床病理分期和预后的相关性。方法:随机选择2006～2007年间56例TCCB和12例正常膀胱黏膜病理切片用SP免疫组化行ΔNp63和Ki67检测,将结果与病理分级、分期和预后进行分析。结果:ΔNp63和Ki67在膀胱移行细胞癌中的阳性表达率明显高于正常膀胱黏膜(Plt;005)。ΔNp63和Ki67在低分化、浸润性癌组织中的阳性表达率明显高于高分化、浅表性癌组织,在膀胱癌的病理分级和临床分期之间表达差异有统计学意义(Plt;005)。ΔNp63和Ki67在复发病例中的阳性表达率显著高于初发病例(Plt;005)。采用Spearman等级相关性分析对ΔNp63和Ki67在TCCB中的表达进行比较,ΔNp63与Ki67呈正相关,rs′为0316,且Plt;005。结论:ΔNp63和Ki67与膀胱癌的临床病理分级和分期及预后密切相关,随膀胱癌分化程度的降低和浸润程度的增加而增强。ΔNp63和Ki67在TCCB的进展中可能有相互协同作用,ΔNp63可能通过促进细胞增殖发挥促癌作用,联合检测ΔNp63和Ki67可以作为判断TCCB的预后的肿瘤标记物。
ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of simultaneous transurethral resection of bladder cancer and prostate (TURBT+TURP) in the treatment of bladder cancer with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). MethodsWe searched PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP from inception to January 2015, to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies investigating the efficacy and safety of TURBT with TURP in the treatment of bladder cancer with BPH. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk bias of included studies, and then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. Results3 A total of 3 RCTs (n=137) and 10 retrospective cohort studies (n=998) were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that there were no significant differences between the simultaneous resection group and the control group in the overall recurrence rate (RCT:OR=0.55, 95% CI:0.24 to 1.24, P=0.15; retrospective cohort study:OR=0.78, 95% CI:0.60 to 1.01, P=0.06), postoperative recurrence rate in the prostatic fossa/urethra (RCT:OR=1.40, 95% CI:0.28 to 7.60, P=0.68; retrospective cohort study:OR=1.36, 95% CI:0.49 to 3.74, P=0.55), progression rate (OR=0.93, 95% CI:0.53 to 1.61, P=0.79) and overall perioperative complication rate (RCT:OR=0.35, 95% CI:0.08 to 1.55, P=0.17; retrospective cohort study:OR=0.1.75, 95% CI:0.44 to 6.98, P=0.43). ConclusionCompared with only TURBT or sequential TURBT and TURP, simultaneous TURBT and TURP do not increase the overall recurrence rate, postoperative recurrence rate in the prostatic fossa/urethra, progression rate and overall postoperative complication rate. However, due to the limited quality and quantity of included studies, larger sample size and higher quality RCTs are needed to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo establish human bladder cancer cell line with silenced Fibulin-5 gene and observe the effects and mechanism of Fibulin-5 gene silencing on the proliferation activity and migration of the bladder cancer cells.MethodsThe human bladder cancer cells 5637 were divided into group F5 and group NC, and the cells in group F5 were infected with Fibulin-5 RNA interference (RNAi) lentivirus while the cells in group NC were infected with negative-control virus. Then the expression of Fibulin-5 mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, the cell proliferation activity was detected by MTT, the migration rate was detected by wound healing method, and the expression levels of proteins in receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) pathway were detected by PathScan RTK Signaling Antibody Array Kit.ResultsThe Fibulin-5 mRNA expression decreased significantly by Fibulin-5 RNAi lentivirus (0.067±0.013 in group F5 vs. 1.001±0.000 in group NC), and the gene silencing efficiency reached 93.3%, so the Fibulin-5 silencing cell line was established successfully. Comparing with group NC, the relative absorbance value and migration rate of cell 5637 in group F5 decreased significantly (P<0.01); in addition, the expression levels of anaplastic lymphoma kinase, Axl, p44/42 mitogen activated protein kinase, and Src protein were up-regulated in group F5 (P<0.05).ConclusionFibulin-5 may play a role in the proliferation and migration of bladder cancer cells, and may have an inhibitory effect on extracellular signal-regulated kinase and its signaling pathway proteins.
ObjectivesTo evaluate the effects of Q-syte separating film needleless closed transfusion connector in flushing chamber of three-cavity urethral catheter.MethodsTo retrospectively analyze the patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor for non muscle-invasive bladder cancer from January 2015 to July 2016 in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University. After terminating the continuous bladder irrigation, the observed group used Q-syte separating film needleless closed transfusion connector to seal the flushing chamber of three-cavity urethral catheter, and control group used conditional approach to connect drainage bag. The degree of comfort and satisfaction of patients, urinary tract infection, time of stopping bladder irrigation and bladder perfusion time between two groups were assessed.ResultsA total of 88 patients were included involving 63 (72%) males and 25 (28%) females with a mean age of 60.2±4.7 years. There were no significant differences between two groups in age, gender, BMI, and complications (P>0.05). Compared to control group, case group had higher level of comfort degree (mild discomfort: 86.4% vs. 25.0%, P<0.001; moderate discomfort: 13.6% vs. 52.3%, P<0.001; severe discomfort: 0.0% vs. 22.7%, P=0.001), satisfaction degree (97.9±2.1 vs. 84.5±3.9, P<0.001), and lower rates of urinary tract infection (11.4% vs. 29.5%, P=0.034). In addition, the case group spent shorter time in terminating bladder irrigation (50.48±1.78 vs. 207.74±5.41, P<0.001) and bladder perfusion (141.47±3.25 vs. 205.35±5.17, P<0.001). All differences were statistical significance.ConclusionsApplication of Q-syte separating film needleless closed transfusion connector for sealing flushing chamber of three-cavity urethral catheter after continuous bladder irrigation could promote the degree of comfort and satisfaction of patients, and decrease the rate of urinary tract infection, as well as the working efficiency of health care professionals.
Bladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the urinary system. The standard treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is the radical cystectomy combined with pelvic lymphadenectomy. In recent years, radiotherapy has played an important role in the MIBC bladder-preserving treatment model. This article will review the advances in the application of radiotherapy for bladder preservation in MIBC, and introduce the application progress of radiotherapy in trimodality therapy of adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy after transurethral resection of bladder tumors, radical radiotherapy, preoperative radiotherapy, radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy, the development and challenges of radiotherapy technology, and radiotherapy-related adverse reactions. The aim of this article is to provide a reference for further exploration of a more scientific and effective comprehensive treatment mode for bladder preservation.
