To compare the predictive efficacy of National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and European Association of Urology (EAU) risk stratification systems in radiotherapy of prostate cancer. One-thousand-nine-hundred-nine patients treated with definitive (1,074), adjuvant (381), and salvage radiotherapy (454) were analysed.
To investigate the impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on oncological outcomes in patients with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who underwent adjuvant induction bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).
Cancer-related changes in sexual function (SF) negatively impact quality of life and intimate partner relationships. There is a lack of data regarding SF among patients who underwent radical cystectomy (RC).
Prostate cancer is the most incident and one of the deadliest male cancers in Latin America. Treatment for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) includes androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSi) such as abiraterone and enzalutamide, for which AR-V7, an androgen receptor splice variant, has emerged as a biomarker for primary resistance.
Herein this study we present how urologic services have been affected since the outbreak of pandemic of COVID-19 in our hospital. Although this study has all the drawbacks of a retrospective study, to my point of view some interesting points can be concluded:
Upper tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUCs) are a heterogeneous group of malignancies arising from the urothelium at the level of the renal pelvis or ureter. They comprise 5% to 10% of all urothelial carcinomas and are diagnosed in approximately two per 100,000 persons in the United States annually, the majority of whom are adults older than […]
Testicular cancer is rare, but its incidence is expected to rise. [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) added role in testicular cancer management has been defined in a set of specific clinical settings.
The unique microenvironment of the prostate plays a crucial role in the development and progression of prostate cancer (PCa). We examined the effects of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) on PCa progression using patient-derived fibroblast primary cultures in a representative orthotopic xenograft model.
To identify different preintervention prognostic factors between renal pelvic cancer (RPc) and ureteral cancer (Uc) and to develop different preintervention risk stratifications for each cancer type.
The most common subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the clear cell RCC (ccRCC) that accounts for 70-80% of cases. The fate of ccRCC is linked to alterations of genes that regulate TP53. The dysfunction of p53 affects several processes including autophagy, which is increased in different advanced carcinomas and could be associated with […]
