En bloc resection of the bladder tumour (ERBT) has been proposed as an alternative technique in treating non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The objective of this study is to investigate whether ERBT could improve the 1-yr recurrence rate of NMIBC, as compared with SR.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>A multicentre, randomised, phase 3 trial was conducted in Hong Kong. Adults with bladder tumour(s) of ≤ 3cm were enrolled from April 2017 to December 2020, and followed up until 1 yr after surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either ERBT or SR in a 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome was 1-yr recurrence rate. A modified intention-to-treat analysis on patients with histologically confirmed NMIBC was performed. The main secondary outcomes included detrusor muscle sampling rate, operative time, hospital stay, 30-d complications, any residual or upstaging of disease upon second-look transurethral resection, and 1-yr progression rate.</p></div><div><h3>Key Findings and Limitations</h3><p>A total of 350 patients underwent randomisation, and 276 patients were histologically confirmed to have NMIBC. At 1 yr, 31 patients in the ERBT group and 46 in the SR group developed recurrence; the Kaplan-Meier estimate of 1- yr recurrence rates were 29% (95% confidence interval, 18–37) in the ERBT group and 38% (95% confidence interval, 28–46) in the SR group (<em>p</em> = 0.007). Upon a subgroup analysis, patients with 1–3 cm tumour, single tumour, Ta disease, or intermediate-risk NMIBC had a significant benefit from ERBT. None of the patients in the ERBT group and three patients in the SR group developed progression to muscle-invasive bladder cancer; the Kaplan-Meier estimates of 1-yr progression rates were 0% in the ERBT group and 2.6% (95% confidence interval, 0–5.5) in the SR group (<em>p</em> = 0.065). The median operative time was 28 min (interquartile range, 20–45) in the ERBT group and 22 min (interquartile range, 15–30) in the SR group (<em>p</em> < 0.001). All other secondary outcomes were similar in the two groups.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions and Clinical Implications</h3><p>In patients with NMIBC of ≤ 3cm, ERBT resulted in a significant reduction in the 1-yr recurrence rate when compared with SR. The study results support ERBT as the first-line surgical treatment for patients with bladder tumours of≤ 3cm.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12223,"journal":{"name":"European urology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":25.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0302283824023212/pdfft?md5=1f91f32c5ea400283f59db91ca36e377&pid=1-s2.0-S0302283824023212-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140862055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TP53LOF and HPV status were determined by targeted next-generation sequencing and sequencing HPV-DNA reads. Six HPV+ TP53 wild type (WT), six HPV– TP53WT, and four TP53LOF PSCC samples and six controls were included.

TP53LOF tumors exhibit a partial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, immune-excluded, angiogenic, and morphologically invasive environment, underlying their aggressive phenotype. HPV– TP53WT tumors show stemness and immune exhaustion. HPV+ TP53WT tumors mirror normal epithelial maturation with upregulation of antibody-drug-conjugate targets and activation of innate immunity. Inherent to the scRNA-seq analysis, low sample size is a limitation and validation of signatures in large PSCC cohorts is needed.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions and clinical implications</h3><p>This first scRNA-seq atlas offers unprecedented in-depth insights into PSCC biology underlying prognostic differences based on <em>TP53</em> and HPV status.
