Neurogenic bladder in patients with cervical cancer after treatment

A trend to minimize the radicality of surgery

“…NS radical surgery is a relatively hot issue that is appealing to more and more attention in modern clinical practice, since with better understandings of the patho-physiologic mechanisms of the diseases, it is possible to use "not-so-radicality" in place of the original use "radicality" in the management of various kinds of cancer patients who are suitable for surgical treatment. 16,17 The feasibility and oncological safety of NS radical surgery have been widely discussed, although some concerns are always present and some issues are still being debated. 16 The "not-so-radicality" strategy, NS surgery as an example, may not be fitting for all patients, contributing to the importance of identifying who is suitable for NS RARP.…”

Is ultrasound valuable for the diagnosis of women with abnormal detrusor activity?

“…J Chin Med Assoc catheterization or long-term deposit catherization. 13,15 Although the TAS is recommended as a standard work-up to measure PVR which is mediated by calculating three diameters (length, height, and width), there are more than 20 different formulae to finish this measurement of PVR. 13 Unfortunately, ultrasound estimations of PVR is relatively rough and imprecise.…”

“…Additionally, ultrasound may be helpful in detection of certain conditions of underlying problems, such as urinary incontinence, POP before and after the treatment and PFD of patients with cervical cancer after radical hysterectomy (RH), because the aforementioned surgeries or managements are associated with very high prevalence of urine retention and frequent need for intermittent catheterization or long-term deposit catherization. 13,15 Although the TAS is recommended as a standard work-up to measure PVR which is mediated by calculating three diameters (length, height, and width), there are more than 20 different formulae to finish this measurement of PVR. 13 Unfortunately, ultrasound estimations of PVR is relatively rough and imprecise.…”

Pretreatment Radiologically Enlarged Lymph Nodes as a Significant Prognostic Factor in Clinical Stage IIB Cervical Cancer: Evidence from a Taiwanese Tertiary Care Center in Reaching Consensus

“…Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide, with an estimated global incidence of 570,000 and 311,000 corresponding tumor-related deaths reported in 2018 [1,2]. Despite recent advances in various treatments for locally advanced CC, recurrence and mortality rates remain high [3][4][5][6]. Stage IIB CC is defined as cervical carcinoma that invades the parametrium and does not extend to the lower third of the vagina or pelvic wall [7].…”
