DaBlaCa-17: nationwide observational study in Denmark on survival before and after implementation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
CONCLUSIONS: This observational study found no improved survival in a national cohort of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy after implementation of NAC. However, reservations should be made regarding the study design and the true effect of NAC on survival outcomes.PMID:38406925 | DOI:10.2340/sju.v59.24024 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Urology)

The association between age and long-term quality of life after curative treatment for prostate cancer: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort of prostate cancer survivors, age at treatment had little impact on long-term QoL and function. Due to the cross-sectional design, short term impact or variation over time cannot be ruled out.PMID:38379397 | DOI:10.2340/sju.v59.18616 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Urology)

Multiple factors influence decision making for the surgical treatment in patients with renal cell carcinoma
CONCLUSION: Tumor size, CCI scores, T-stage, and WHO-PS, all had an impact on the surgical strategy for all RCC patients. In patients with T1a RCC, tumor size and WHO-PS associated independently with treatment decision. After adjusted analysis, renal function lost its independent association with the treatment strategy in RCC patients.PMID:38358280 | DOI:10.2340/sju.v59.25517 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Urology)

Prediction of clinically significant recurrence after partial nephrectomy. Data from the Cancer Registry of Norway with more than five years of follow-up
CONCLUSIONS: Both local and distant recurrences after PN were rare, and the pT stage was a common predictor. PSM or indeterminate surgical margin and tumour number were LR predictors, while age at surgery and the presence of tumour necrosis predicted metastasis.PMID:38226773 | DOI:10.2340/sju.v59.18674 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Urology)

Computed tomography for visible haematuria - a single nephrographic phase is sufficient for detecting renal cell carcinoma

Diagnostic pathways and treatment strategies in upper tract urothelial carcinoma in Sweden between 2015 and 2021: a population-based survey
CONCLUSIONS: The population-based SNRUBC with high coverage contributes to the knowledge about UTUC with granular and generalizable data. The present study reveals a high proportion of patients not subjected to curatively intended treatment and suggests unmet needs to shorten lead times to treatment and use of bladder cuff excision when performing radical surgery for UTUC in Sweden.PMID:38226846 | DOI:10.2340/sju.v59.16281 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Urology)

Do all prostate cancer patients want, and experience shared decision making prior to curative treatment?
Conclusion: Three of four curatively treated PCa wanted to participate in SDM, and this wish was met in four of five men. Younger PCa patients with higher education in a relationship, and opting for RP, wanted an active role in SDM, and experienced being involved. Effective SDM requires the responsible physicians' attention to the individual patients' characteristics and needs.PMID:38116675 | DOI:10.2340/sju.v58.14730 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Urology)
