Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder that results from a germline mutation in the fumarate hydratase gene (FH). Individuals with FH mutations are at risk of developing renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Radical prostatectomy is a well-established treatment option in the management of localized and locally advanced prostate cancer. An extended lymphadenectomy is performed in case of substantial risk for lymph node involvement.
Prostate cancer (PCa) is known as one of the most common cancers in men all over the world. Previous studies have identified that the pro-inflammatory mediator interleukin-17F (IL-17F) aggravates the progression of several diseases.
Genetic biomarkers are a promising and growing field in the management of bladder cancer in all stages. The aim of this paper is to understand the role of genetic urinary biomarkers in the follow up of patients with non muscle invasive bladder cancer where there is increasing evidence that they can play a role in […]
To assess the association between PD-L1 expression and disease-free survival (DFS) in High-Risk Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (HR-NMIBC) patients treated with intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) instillations (IBI).
Prostate cancer (PCa) is common in countries with affluent dietary patterns and represents a heterogeneous collection of subtypes with varying behavior. Reductionist strategies focusing on individual nutrients or foods have not clearly defined risk factors.
In order to optimize psycho-oncological care, studies that quantify the extent of distress and identify certain risk groups are needed. Among patients with prostate cancer (PCa), findings on depression and anxiety are limited.
This systematic review assessed compliance to guidelines for the management of nonmuscle-invasive bladder carcinoma (NMIBC). The PUBMED, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases were searched in November 2019 in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis statement.
The role of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) has been thoroughly investigated in tumour microenvironments but not in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA). The cell fraction of CAFs gradually increased with BLCA progression.
Using conditional survival (CS) analysis, we investigated whether the duration of survival without biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer after laparoscopic radical prostatectomies (LRP) affected the BCR rate.
