Anti-programmed cell death protein 1 and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) agents are broadly used in first-line and second-line treatment across different tumor types. While immunohistochemistry-based assays are routinely used to assess PD-L1 expression, their clinical utility remains controversial due to the partial predictive value and lack of standardized cut-offs across antibody clones.

Prostatic multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has markedly improved the assessment of men with suspected prostate cancer (PCa). Nevertheless, as mpMRI exhibits a high negative predictive value, a negative MRI may represent a diagnostic dilemma.

To investigate whether radiotherapy as metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) on oligo-progressive sites in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients during treatment with androgen receptor-targeted therapy (ARTT) may lead to control resistant lesions, prolonging ARTT.

To report the one-year results of ESWT on CPPS patients and the possible clinical characteristics that may affect its efficacy. A prospective randomized clinical study between January 2017 and January 2021 on 155 adult patients with chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

Understanding personal factors that influence diverse responses to health care information, such as preferences for more or less health care, might be beneficial to more effective communication and better involvement in health care choices.

There are long-standing debates about the benefits of prostate cancer screening. Conflicting trial results and inconsistent recommendations regarding prostate cancer screening in clinical guidelines highlight the importance of patient factors that influence decision making in prostate cancer screening.

The Wnt signaling pathway is core to the growth of bladder tumors. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is significant for bladder tumor metastasis. Nevertheless, the relationship between the Wnt signaling pathway, outcomes of bladder cancer (BLCA), and the specific mechanisms driving immune infiltration have not been studied.

To investigate to the incidence and mortality of BCG infections in Finnish population of patients with bladder cancer treated with BCG instillations. We conducted a nationwide register study and identified patients with BCG infections in Finland during 1996-2016 using the Finnish cancer registry and the Finnish National Infectious Diseases Register.

To analyze patient reported outcomes, safety, and efficacy of the Supris® mid-urethral sling in a diverse population. A retrospective chart review of 101 women who underwent a mid-urethral Supris® sling procedure was conducted.

To describe and assess the outcomes of dorsal onlay oral mucosa graft urethroplasty for female urethral stricture. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all female patients who underwent dorsal onlay oral (buccal or lingual) mucosa urethroplasty for urethral stricture between 2011 and 2020 at two academic institutions.
