PURPOSE Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is an aggressive disease with a complex treatment. In Brazil, as in most developing countries, data are scarce, but mortality seems exceedingly high. We have created a centralization program involving a multidisciplinary clinic in a region comprising seven municipalities. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of […]
(UroToday.com) The Société Internationale D’Urologie (SIU) 2021 annual meeting included a plenary session with the AUA lecture provided by Dr. Sam Chang discussing the 2021 AUA Guideline for renal masses and localized cancer, specifically evaluation, management, and follow-up.1,2 Dr. Chang notes that the AUA guidelines focus on the evaluation and management of clinically localized sporadic renal […]
(UroToday.com) The Société Internationale D’Urologie (SIU) 2021 annual meeting included a master class on biomarkers in cancer and a presentation by Dr. Murat Bozlu discussing immune-related biomarkers of bladder cancer. Dr. Bozlu started his presentation by noting that bladder cancer makes up 7% of new cancer cases amongst males, accounting for 4% of cancer mortalities. However, […]
(UroToday.com) The Société Internationale D’Urologie (SIU) 2021 annual meeting included a master class on biomarkers in cancer and a presentation by Dr. Seth Lerner discussing molecular subtypes of bladder cancer. Dr. Lerner started by highlighting seminal work from his group that used the bladder cancer TCGA dataset to provide a comprehensive molecular characterization of muscle invasive […]
(UroToday.com) The Société Internationale D’Urologie (SIU) 2021 annual meeting included a master class on biomarkers in cancer and a presentation by Dr. Sia Daneshmand discussing serum biomarkers in invasive bladder cancer. Dr. Daneshmand started by emphasizing that unfortunately, up to 50% of patients after radical cystectomy experience disease recurrence within five years of surgery. Furthermore, there […]
Urolithiasis is a multi-etiological disease resulting from a combination of environmental and genetic factors. One of the most challenging aspects of this disease is its high recurrence rate. For most patients, an in-depth metabolic evaluation may reveal the presence of urinary stones.
Nephrolithiasis is a highly prevalent disease presenting itself mostly at a working age, which leads to a great economic burden on health system. Kidney Stone disease should be viewed as a systemic disorder,associated with or predictive of hypertension, insulin resistance, chronic kidney disease and cardiovasculardamage.
Characterization of Peyronie’s disease (PD) involves manual goniometry and penile length measurement. These techniques neglect volume loss or hourglass deformities. Inter-provider variability complicates accuracy.
Prostatitis seriously endangers the health of men. While they have been widely used in recent years, there remains a lack of systematic evaluation of the clinical efficacy of α-receptor blockers (α-RBs)/α-adrenergic receptor blockers (α-ARBs) in its treatment.
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) has diverse clinical phenotypes and its etiology is multifactorial. Studies to date of gene expression in humans have been limited to small numbers of target genes.
