Role of ERBT Plus Intravesical BCG in Intermediate-Risk or High-Risk NMBC

Официальное название

A Randomised Trial Investigating the Role of Transurethral En Bloc Resection of Bladder Tumour Plus Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin Therapy, in Patients With Intermediate-Risk or High-Risk Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

Обзор

This is a prospective, multi-centre randomised trial comparing between cTURBT plus 1-year BCG therapy, and ERBT plus 1-year BCG therapy, in patients with intermediate-risk or high-risk NMIBC.

Подробное описание

All patients who are diagnosed to have bladder tumour(s) upon flexible cystoscopy will be screened for study eligibility. Imaging will be arranged to rule out any upper urinary tract malignancy. Patients are randomised to receive either transurethral ERBT or cTURBT with an allocation ratio of 1:1. A single dose of intravesical mitomycin C will be instilled according to the EAU guidelines, i.e. in all patients except those with a prior recurrence rate of more than one recurrence per year, or those with an EORTC recurrence score of ≥5. All patients will be followed up at our outpatient clinic and the pathology results will be reviewed. Routine second-look TURBT will be arranged within 2-6 weeks after the first operation should there be any indications as stated in the EAU guidelines. For patients in the intermediate or high-risk groups, 1-year of intravesical BCG therapy will be offered. Surveillance flexible cystoscopy will be performed at a 3-month interval until 2 years after the index surgery, and then every 6 months for another 3 years. Biopsy will be taken and TURBT will be offered if there is any suspicious tumour recurrence noted during surveillance cystoscopy.Primary outcome is recurrence-free survival at 2 years.

Вмешательства

• Процедура Conventional Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumour
  Conventional TURBT is performed by resecting the bladder tumour in a piecemeal manner with a top-down approach. The bladder tumour specimen is fragmented during the procedure and whether a complete resection has been achieved is determined by the operating surgeon's judgment intra-operatively.
• Процедура Transurethral En Bloc Resection of Bladder Tumour
  This surgical technique resects the bladder tumour underneath the submucosal plane, and the bladder tumour can be removed in one piece.
