Obesity increases the risk of several diseases, including kidney stone disease (KSD). Our study utilizes eight indexes to demonstrate that the development of kidney stones is not only related to high body mass index (BMI) but also related to central obesity, fat distribution, and insulin resistance. Using these indexes can help researchers further study the […]

Non-schistosomiasis related-squamous cell carcinoma of urinary bladder (NSR-SCCUB) is a rare tumor subtype distinct from urothelial carcinoma (UC). Studies assessing molecular biomarkers in bladder cancer have generally focused on UC, and genomic data of NSR-SCCUB is limited.

Follow-up protocols for patients with testicular cancer (TC) have significantly reduced the number of cross-sectional imaging studies to reduce radiation exposure. At present, it is unclear whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could replace conventional computerized tomography (CT) imaging.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been successfully developed in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors to treat advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), further advancing treatment. While safety profiles are generally manageable with combination regimens, overlapping adverse events (AEs) and immune-related AEs can make treatment more complex.

To assess accuracy of University of California Los Angeles Integrated Staging System (UISS), Stage, Size, Grade and Necrosis (SSIGN) score, Leibovich score and GRade, Age, Nodes and Tumor (GRANT) score, the ASSURE (Adjuvant Sunitinib or Sorafenib vs.

The benefits of neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (nADT) in the management of intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer patients have been well-established. The aim of this study was to identify radiomic prognostic features derived from routine anatomic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences that can predict the response of the prostate cancer to nADT.

Cabozantinib inhibits multiple receptor tyrosine kinases, including the TAM kinase family, and may enhance response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. One cohort of the ongoing Phase Ib COSMIC-021 study (NCT03170960) evaluating cabozantinib plus the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) that has progressed in soft tissue on/after enzalutamide and/or abiraterone treatment […]

Many software for US/MRI guided fusion prostate biopsy (FPB), have been developed in the last years. However, there are few data comparing diagnostic accuracy of different fusion systems. We assessed diagnostic performance of elastic (EF) versus rigid fusion (RF) PB in a propensity score matched (PSM) analysis.

Currently, multi-parametric prostate MRI (mpMRI) consists of a qualitative T2 , diffusion weighted, and dynamic contrast enhanced imaging. Quantification of T2 imaging might further standardize PCa detection and support artificial intelligence solutions.

To determine whether military men report different prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening rates than civilian men and if shared decision-making (SDM) is associated with PSA screening. We used data from the 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and included 101,901 men (26,363 military and 75,538 civilian men) in the analysis conducted in 2021.
