Good quality white‐light transurethral resection of bladder tumours (GQ‐WLTURBT) with experienced surgeons performing complete resections and obtaining detrusor muscle reduces early recurrence in new non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer: validation across time and place and recommendation for benchmarking

Herpetiform cutaneous metastases from transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder: immunohistochemical analysis

The case of an 83-year-old woman with an uncommon presentation of cutaneous metastases from muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder is reported. The band-like eruption of the metastatic lesion can often be misdiagnosed and treated initially as herpes zoster. A detailed immunohistochemical analysis is also described to differentiate metastatic lesions from other sources.

Ensuring Consistent European-Wide Urological Care by the Use of Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines : Can We Do Better

The European Association of Urology (EAU) annually updates 21 clinical practice guidelines in which summaries of the evidence base and best practice recommendations are made. The methodology applied to achieve this and integrate stakeholder opinion is continuously improving. However, there is evidence to suggest wide variation in clinical practice indicating that many patients receive suboptimal and heterogeneous care. Studies from certain countries suggest that 2 out of 5 patients do not receive care according to the current scientific evidence, and in 1 out of 4 cases the care provided is potentially harmful. Clearly, the harmonisation of care in alignment with evidence-based best practice recommendations is something to strive for. Development of robust methods to disseminate and implement guideline recommendations and measure their impact is an objective the EAU is committed to improving. An important strategy for achieving harmonisation in urological care across Europe is to ensure the availability of high-quality clinical practice guidelines and to actively promote their implementation by clinicians and healthcare providers.

Surgical management for upper tract transitional cell carcinoma

This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: To determine the best surgical management of upper tract transitional cell carcinoma. The following comparisons are pre-stated: 1.Whether open radical nephroureterectomy is better than laparoscopic nephroureterectomy 2.Whether nephroureterectomy is better than conservative localised resection of ureter, where indicated 3. Whether open surgical resection (local or nephroureterectomy) is better than endoscopic resection and surveillance, where indicated 4.Whether open surgical method of handling lower end of ureter is better than endoscopic or laproscopic assisted methods 1 Surgical management for upper tract transitional cell carcinoma (Protocol) Copyright
