To identify predictors of metastases, estimate the proportion of metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) cases according to these predictors, and subsequently create a risk table showing the absolute difference in metastasis proportion for each 10 mm increase in tumour size.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether ankle braces or shoulder support used for fixation during robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), where patients are commonly positioned in the head‐down Trendelenburg position, differ in their potential to cause peripheral nerve injury.Patients and MethodsA prospective, double‐blind, randomised controlled trial was conducted on patients undergoing RARP for prostate cancer between May 2020 and September 2021 using the da Vinci® Si system (Intuitive Surgical Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA). Patients were randomly assigned to either the shoulder or ankle brace fixation group and were positioned in a modified lithotomy position. Neurological examinations were performed pre‐ and postoperatively. The primary endpoint was the prevalence of any peripheral neuropathy on the first postoperative day.ResultsA total of 98 patients were treated using the da Vinci Si system: 46 in the lithotomy lower fixation group and 52 in the lithotomy upper fixation group. Both groups mainly recorded neuropathies in the lower extremity, with a total incidence of 6.9% for lower neuropathies and 3.9% for upper neuropathies. All neuropathies were sensory, with one exception in the upper fixation group presenting a motor deficit. Over a median follow‐up of 12 months, no neuropathies persisted. Neuropathy on the first postoperative day was observed in 15% of patients in the upper fixation group and 6.5% in the lower fixation group (P = 0.2).ConclusionWe observed neuropathies in a clinically relevant proportion of men undergoing RARP. We were not able to demonstrate a significant difference regarding postoperative neuropathies between ankle braces or shoulder support during RARP.

ObjectivesIt is not known whether cancer‐specific mortality (CSM) differences distinguish radical cystectomy (RC) from trimodal therapy (TMT) in octogenarians harbouring organ‐confined (T2N0M0) urothelial cancer of the urinary bladder (UCUB).MethodsWithin the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004–2021), CSM and other‐cause mortality (OCM) rates were computed in octogenarian patients with organ‐confined UCUB undergoing either TMT or RC. Smoothed cumulative incidence plots depicted 5‐year CSM and OCM rates according to RC vs TMT. Competing risks regression (CRR) models were fitted, adjusting for age, gender, and race/ethnicity. Nearest‐neighbour 1:1 propensity‐score matching (PSM) for age and gender was also applied. Sensitivity analyses were additionally performed, focusing on White patients.ResultsOf 2335 octogenarian patients with T2N0M0 UCUB, 1562 (66.3%) received TMT and 793 (33.7%) received RC. Of those, 2082 (88.4%) were White. TMT rates increased from 53.5% in 2004 to 82.2% in 2021 (P < 0.001). The 5‐year CSM rate was 50.1% for TMT vs 31.1% for RC. After multivariable CRR, TMT independently predicted 1.7‐fold higher CSM (P < 0.001). After additional PSM, TMT also independently predicted 1.7‐fold higher CSM (P < 0.001). In sensitivity analyses exclusively focusing on White patients, almost identical results were recorded.ConclusionRates of TMT have nearly doubled in octogenarian patients with organ‐confined UCUB in recent years; however, CSM rates after TMT are also nearly twice as high as those observed after RC. It is crucial to communicate these observations.
