Two-year study on the application of The Paris System for urinary cytology in a Cancer Center.

The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology (TPS) was published in order to provide clear cytomorphologic criteria for urine cytology specimens, focusing on high-grade urothelial lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of implementing TPS and to correlate with available concomitant histological samples, accessing overall sensitivity and specificity. A retrospective analysis […]

BCG instillation versus radical cystectomy for high-risk NMIBC with squamous/glandular histologic variants.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) instillation and radical cystectomy on high-risk NMIBC with squamous or glandular variants. We retrospectively reviewed the data of high-risk (T1 or CIS or HG or TaG1/G2 with multiple, recurrent, large tumor) NMIBC patients from January 2000 to December 2017. Comparative analysis of radical cystectomy, […]

A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Phase 2 Study: Efficacy and Safety of I-131-1095 Radiotherapy in Combination With Enzalutamide in Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) Patients Who Are 18F-DCFPyL Prostate-specific Membrane Antigen

A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Phase 2 Study: Efficacy and Safety of I-131-1095 Radiotherapy in Combination With Enzalutamide in Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) Patients Who Are 18F-DCFPyL Prostate-specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA)-Avid, Chemotherapy-naive, and Progressed on Abiraterone Condition: Metastatic Prostate Cancer, Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer, Prostatic Neoplasm, Cancer of the Prostate, Progressive mCRPC Intervention: Drug: I-131-1095 Drug: […]

Development and validation of a prognostic nomogram for patients with intravesical recurrence after radical nephroureterectomy for non-metastatic upper tract urothelial carcinoma.

To develop and validate a prognostic nomogram for patients with intravesical recurrence (IVR) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for non-metastatic upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). The clinical data of 468 patients registered in the surveillance, epidemiology and end results database between 2010 and 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Multivariate analysis using the Cox proportional hazard model was […]

Primary clear-cell urothelial carcinoma of urinary bladder: a not-so-clear entity with review of literature.

Primary clear-cell urothelial carcinoma (CCUC) is an uncommon type of urothelial cancer with only 16 cases reported in published literature. Due to the rarity of the tumour, its clinical and prognostic values have not been clearly understood. We present one such rare clinical diagnosis in a 60-year- old man who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) with […]

The value of transperineal apical prostate biopsy in predicting urethral/apical margin status after radical prostatectomy.

To investigate potential preoperative predictors of urethral or apical positive surgical margin (PSM) and the value of apical prostate biopsy in predicting urethral/apical margin status after radical prostatectomy (RP). A total of 531 patients who underwent RP during 2010 to 2017 at West China Hospital were enrolled in this retrospective study. Preoperative and postoperative factors […]
