760 a New Outcome Prediction Model in Invasive Bladder Cancer Based on Preoperative Serum C-Reactive Protein and Standard Pathologic Risk Factors: The TNR-C Score

Urethral recurrence in women with orthotopic bladder substitutes: A multi-institutional study

“…In multivariable analysis, tumor stage and nodal involvement were found to be independently associated with overall recurrence. Both parameters represent risk factors for recurrence that have been reported in numerous studies [11,[17][18][19][20][21].…”

A precystectomy decision model to predict pathological upstaging and oncological outcomes in clinical stage T2 bladder cancer

“…The success rate of predicting pathologically advanced disease based on modern cross‐sectional imaging techniques is only ≈50%, which effectively means that accurate prediction is equivalent to the tossing of a coin . Considering that the prognostic benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is most pronounced in patients with locally advanced stages , prediction models may represent effective tools for identifying which patients should receive neoadjuvant treatment or upfront cystectomy.…”

“…So what markers in carcinoma invading bladder muscle have the potential to be easily adopted into such basic models? Based on the accumulating evidence for a prognostic role of systemic disorders in carcinoma invading bladder muscle, recent studies have incorporated the presence of preoperatively elevated serum C‐reactive protein and thrombocytosis into basic prognostic models for survival after radical cystectomy and have reported a significant increase in their predictive accuracy .…”
