The dreadful prognosis of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer mainly results from the delay in recognition of individuals with a high risk of progression. Thus, the emphasis of this work lies in developing valuable biomarkers that is conducive to accurately predicting the progression of NMIBC. Microarray data from GSE32894 including 209 NMIBC samples were performed by […]

To investigate prevalence and variables associated with early oncologic mortality (EOM; within ≥30 to ≤90 days) of open radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer. The unexpected rapidity of tumour recurrence and the huge metastatic burden of these patients drew us to analyse this cohort. We reviewed our RC database. All 1,487 patients were treated with […]

In 2011, France and Germany banned pioglitazone due to a concomitant risk for bladder cancer. There has been continued debate about this topic. Therefore, we present a detailed analysis of data from individual case safety reports of pioglitazone use (PG-ICSRs) associated with bladder cancer reported worldwide and in India. Data from PG-ICSRs reported by the […]

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type of renal cell carcinoma with high metastatic rate and high mortality rate, needing to find potential therapeutic targets and develop new therapy methods. The bioinformatics analysis was used in this study to find the targets. Firstly, the expression profile of ccRCC obtained from The […]

Castleman’s disease is a rare non-clonal lymphoproliferative disorder and known to be associated with a number of disorders such as polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein and skin changes syndrome, Kaposi sarcoma, paraneoplastic pemphigus and plasma cell dyscrasias. The association of Castleman’s disease with epithelial malignancy is not clear and limited to few case reports. We […]

Objective: Growing evidence has proved obesity one of the confirmed important etiologic indicators for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). CD36 is underpinned to be involved in adipose absorption, but its role in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the mRNA expression of CD36 in anthropometric measures of adipose tissue […]

Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most common type of cancer in men worldwide and the fifth most common cancer among Korean men. Although most PCs grow slowly, it is unclear whether a longer time interval from diagnosis to treatment causes worse outcomes. This study aimed to investigate whether the time interval from diagnosis to […]

Most prostate cancers are androgen-sensitive malignancies whose growths depend on the transcriptional activity of the androgen receptor (AR). In the 1940s, Charles Huggins demonstrated that the surgical removal of testes in men can result in a dramatic improvement in symptoms and can induce prostate cancer regression. Since then, androgen deprivation therapies have been the standard […]
