Renal cancers are common, accounting for an estimated 65,340 new diagnoses and 14,970 attributable death in 2018 in the United States.1 The “Epidemiology and Etiology of Kidney Cancer” is discussed at length in the linked article in the UroToday Center of Excellence series. Despite a large number of histologic tumor types that may occur in the […]
Charles Ryan: Hello. I’m with Colin Pritchard from the University of Washington, where he is the Director of the Genetics and Solid Tumor Laboratory, and emerging as one of the really top voices in the area of genetics in prostate cancer. I want to take a moment, and I want to talk about some of […]
Alicia Morgans: Hi. I’m so excited to have here with me today Dr. Michael Morris, who is a Professor of Medicine and GU Medical Oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Thank you so much for joining me. Michael Morris: Thank you for having me, Alicia. Alicia Morgans: Wonderful. So I wanted to talk with […]
Young male cancer survivors have lower testosterone levels, higher fat mass, and worse quality of life (QoL) than age-matched healthy controls. Low testosterone in cancer survivors can be due to orchidectomy or effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
This study aimed to identify prognostic factors for outcomes after radical nephroureterectomy among patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). We retrospectively reviewed 184 nonmetastatic cases of UTUC after radical nephroureterectomy, bladder cuffing, and/or partial cystectomy (2004-2016).
To analyse contemporary perioperative chemotherapy (CHT) guideline adherence rates for pN2-3 M0 squamous cell carcinoma of the penis, as well as CHT association with cancer-specific (CSM) and other-cause mortality (OCM).
Objective: To assess the oncologic outcomes of radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) combined with adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) in patients with high risk upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Methods: From January 2014, all high-risk UTUC patients after RNU surgery were enrolled in this prospective comparative trial.
Objectives: Bladder carcinoma is a clinical heterogeneous disease, which is with significant variability of the prognosis and high risk of death. This revealed prominently the need to identify high-efficiency cancer characteristics to predict clinical prognosis.
Although various molecular subtypes of bladder cancer (BC) have been investigated, most of these studies have focused on muscle-invasive BC (MIBC). A few studies have investigated non-muscle-invasive BC (NMIBC) or NMIBC and MIBC together, but none has classified progressive NMIBC or immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based therapeutic responses in early-stage BC patients.
Bladder cancer (BC) is a common malignancy associated with high morbidity and mortality, however, accurate and convenient risk assessment tools applicable to BC patients are currently lacking. Previous studies using nomograms to evaluate bladder cancer (BC) survival have been based on small samples.
