Vignesh Packiam: I am generally aggressive in promoting bladder sparing for NMIBC

Vignesh Packiam, Associate Professor at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, shared a post by Sia Daneshmand, Urologic Oncology Fellowship Director at University of Southern California, adding:
“LVI is tough. With our improved management and therapies I am generally aggressive in promoting bladder sparing for NMIBC – but this gives pause: T1 with LVI had higher node positivity rates than MIBC without LVI, at least in NCDB 2004-2014.”

Quoting Sia Daneshmand‘s post:
“Couldn’t agree more. Leilei Xia found similar results in updated cohort 2010-2018 cT1 + LVI compared to T2 w/o LVI associated with significantly worse OS HR 1.63.”
