Key Highlights

  • No bladder cancer cells or associated genes detected in surgical smoke during RARC.
  • Study involved 28 patients with a median age of 73 years.
  • Exosome levels in surgical smoke were significantly lower than in control samples, but no cancer cells or genes were found.

        Patient & Prescribing Data

        Patients undergoing RARC for MIBC.

        Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 46% of participants.

        Clinical Best Practices

        • Utilize digital PCR for mutation detection in surgical samples, as it was ineffective in this study.
        • Implement water trap systems for capturing surgical smoke, which were used in the study.
