PURPOSE: It is unclear if robotic radical cystectomy with extracorporeal urinary diversion (eRARC) provides additional benefit when performed along with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). We assessed the additional efficacy of eRARC in terms of perioperative outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively assessed 143 patients undergoing radical cystectomy with urinary diversion between June 2010 and December 2021 at a single center. The patients were assigned to three groups: open radical cystectomy (ORC) with conventional recovery after surgery (CRAS) [Group A], ORC with ERAS [Group B], and eRARC with ERAS [Group C]. A propensity score-matched analysis was performed to evaluate how ERAS and eRARC affected outcomes respectively. Meanwhile, multivariable analysis was used to detect the predictors of prolonged length of hospital stay (LOS). RESULTS: The median LOS was shorter after ERAS and eRARC. In the propensity score-matched analysis, ERAS was linked to a significantly shorter median LOS (28.0 vs. 20.0 days, P < .001), but eRARC was not associated with a shorter LOS (19.0 vs. 17.5 days, P = .21). Neither ERAS nor eRARC were connected with a reduce in complication rate. Following multivariable analysis, ERAS was found to be independently associated with shorter LOS (OR=0.23, P < .001), but eRARC demonstrated no such correlation (OR=0.29, P = .096). CONCLUSION: ERAS had strong association with shorter LOS, although eRARC did not contribute to additional efficacy. Neither ERAS nor eRARC decreased the complication rate.

Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate, a unique histopathologic entity that is often observed (especially in advanced prostate cancer), is characterized by the proliferation of malignant cells within normal acini or ducts surrounded by a basement membrane. Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate is almost invariably associated with an adjacent high-grade carcinoma and is occasionally observed as an isolated subtype. Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate has been demonstrated to be an independent poor prognostic factor for all stages of cancer, whether localized, de novo metastatic, or castration-resistant. It also has a characteristic genetic profile, including high genomic instability. Recognizing and differentiating it from other pathologies is therefore important in patient management, and morphological diagnostic criteria for intraductal carcinoma of the prostate have been established. This review summarizes and outlines the clinical and pathological features, differential diagnosis, molecular aspects, and management of intraductal carcinoma of the prostate, as described in previous studies. We also present a discussion and future perspectives regarding intraductal carcinoma of the prostate.

Objectives: Many studies have shown a good prognostic association with a large number of lymph node dissections. However, most of these studies did not include patients who have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to verify the relationship between survival outcomes and the number of lymph nodes removed during radical cystectomy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer in the era of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: This retrospective study considered patients who were diagnosed with clinical ≥T2N0M0 muscle-invasive bladder cancer and treated with radical cystectomy at the Nagoya University Hospital and affiliated hospitals from January 2004 to December 2019. We excluded patients who had a history of upper tract urothelial cancer or non-urothelial carcinoma. The association between prognosis and the number of lymph nodes removed was investigated. Results: We retrospectively enrolled a total of 477 patients. The mean number of lymph nodes dissected was 14. Two hundred and twenty-six patients (47.4%) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. More extensive lymphadenectomy (≥15 lymph nodes) correlated with better 5-year overall survival across all patients (68% vs. 57%, p = 0.01). In patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, there was no difference in overall survival according to the number of dissected lymph nodes (66% vs. 71%, p = 0.433). In patients who did not receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy, ≥15 lymph nodes dissected was associated with significantly better overall survival (70.3% vs. 46.9%, p < 0.01). Conclusions: No association between more aggressive lymph node dissection and prognosis was found in patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Conversely, extended lymph node dissection is desirable for patients who have not received neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Background: The efficacy of anti-programmed cell-death protein 1 treatment in patients with urothelial carcinoma (UC) with molecular subtypes of histological variants has not been investigated. This study aimed to examine the impact of histological variants classified according to molecular subtypes on clinical outcomes in patients with platinum-resistant metastatic UC treated with pembrolizumab. Patients and Methods: Data of 168 patients with metastatic UC who received intravenous pembrolizumab after platinum-based chemotherapy between December 2017 and November 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Relationships between histological variant type (basal or luminal molecular subtypes) and survival outcome and response to immunotherapy were examined. Clinicopathological factors were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards model. Results: UC with histological variants was identified in 19 (11.3%) cases (basal subtype in 12; luminal subtype in 7). The median age of the patients was 72.5 years (range=40-89 years). The performance status was 0-1 in 151 (89.9%) patients. Liver metastasis was detected in 44 (26.2%) patients. The median progression-free survival was 3.5 months (range=0.5-34.3 months). Treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors resulted in an overall mean survival (from the start of treatment) of 8.1 months (range=1.2-34.3 months). Patients with basal-type UC had significantly shorter progression-free survival and cancer-specific survival than those with pure UC (p=0.010 and p=0.035, respectively). A complete response was observed in eight patients (seven with pure UC, one with basal type). Conclusion: The basal histological variant might be a potential prognostic indicator in patients with platinum-resistant metastatic UC treated with pembrolizumab.
