We present 2 cases of penile cancer in which the inguinal lymph node was not palpable and inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) could be safely avoided by conducting dynamic sentinel lymph node biopsy (DSNB).
Spinal renal cell metastases are a common insidious pathological manifestation of the oncological process, but less common are intramedullary and intraneural spinal metastases. Differential diagnosis of such a pathology can be difficult in the presence of conflicting radiological evidence.
The influence of socioeconomic status on metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in the target therapy era is still unknown. This study aimed to assess the role of income disparities on prognosis of mRCC in the targeted therapy era.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic placed unprecedented pressure on various healthcare systems, including departments that use immunotherapies such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and immunosuppression therapy in organ transplantation units.
Enzalutamide (ENZ) has been approved for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer (PCa), but some patients develop ENZ resistance initially or after long-term administration. Although a few key genes have been discovered by previous efforts, the complete mechanisms of ENZ resistance remain unsolved.
As part of the AIRC IG-13218 (NCT01913717), we analyzed data from patients with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer treated with extreme hypofractionated radiotherapy (RT) and simultaneous boost to the intraprostatic lesion.
Medical decisions concerning active surveillance are complex, especially when evidence on superiority of one of the treatments is lacking. Decision aids have been developed to facilitate shared decision-making on whether to pursue an active surveillance strategy.
To better understand the interplay of socioeconomic and demographic traits on bladder cancer outcomes utilizing the Ohio state cancer registry, Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System (OCISS). We obtained demographic, clinical and outcome data on 47,182 bladder cancer cases diagnosed from 1996-2016 from OCISS.
In the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, cancer patients could be a high-risk group due to their immunosuppressed status; therefore, data on cancer patients must be available in order to consider the most adequate strategy of care.
Limited visibility of post-resection muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) on CT hinders radiotherapy dose escalation of the residual tumour. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) visualizes areas of high tumour burden and is increasingly used within diagnosis and as a biomarker for cancer.
