20 to 80 years old

Volunteers

No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥40 years for male subjects or postmenopausal female subjects
  • ECOG performance status 0-2
  • Patients with suspected or newly diagnosed UBUC
  • ASA I or II
  • Patients with any other adequately treated Stage I or II cancer except UC, from which the subject has been disease free for 5 years
  • Adequate renal function, defined as a serum creatinine (Cre) concentration ≤ the institutional ULN
  • Adequate hepatic function, defined as total bilirubin ≤ the institutional ULN and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with prior or concurrent UC involving the renal pelvis, ureter or urethra
  • Patients with clinical evidence of MIBC or mUC
  • Immunocompromised or immunosuppressed patients
  • Patients with chronic use of anti-inflammatory agents or beta-blockers
  • Patients with difficult airways or other significant cardiovascular comorbidities (severe aortic stenosis, significant pulmonary disease, CHF) who are intolerant to GA
  • Patients with elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), primarily due to intracranial mass and trauma or infection at the site of SA
  • Patients with a serious uncontrolled medical disorder (e.g., trauma, fracture) or active infection that would impair their ability to receive spinal or GA
  • Patients with known allergies to propofol, fentanyl, sevoflurane, or bupivacaine
  • Subjects with a known history or family history of malignant hyperthermia
  • Subjects with bleeding diathesis
