Abstract
Purpose of review: To provide expert recommendations for side effect management in patients with bladder cancer receiving intravesical-drug releasing system (iDRS) treatment and for optimizing iDRS insertion procedure success.
Recent findings: Indwelling iDRS are designed to provide sustained local exposure to therapy. In clinical trials, frequent side effects of iDRS treatment were lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) (e.g., dysuria, pollakiuria, micturition urgency), urinary tract infections (UTIs), and hematuria. These side effects are generally low grade, but if not properly managed, may lead to treatment interruptions or discontinuations. As data are limited, practical recommendations based on expert opinion for the management of common side effects and best practices for iDRS insertion procedures may improve treatment adherence and optimize outcomes in patients with bladder cancer receiving iDRS.
Summary: Two separate expert panels were convened to develop recommendations for side effect management with iDRS and optimizing iDRS insertion procedure success. Stepwise treatment-specific management strategies for LUTS, UTIs, and hematuria in patients receiving iDRS treatment that are familiar to practicing urologists are presented, including considerations for continuation or discontinuation of iDRS treatment. Several advanced techniques can be considered to improve iDRS insertions based on variations in patient anatomy.
