This study aims to evaluate whether preoperative serum albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR) could predict the prognosis of patients with urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) after radical cystectomy (RC). A total of 176 patients with UBC who underwent RC in a tertiary hospital between 2008 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.

Testicular cancer survivors may experience mental illness as a consequence of their cancer diagnosis and treatment. All incident cases of testicular cancer treated with orchiectomy in Ontario, Canada (2000-2010), were identified using the Ontario Cancer Registry.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most predominant type of kidney cancer in adults and is responsible for approximately 85% of clinical cases. The tumor-specific microenvironment includes both cellular and physical factors, and it regulates the homeostasis and function of cancer cells.
Transcription factor E3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (TFE3-RCC) has heterogenous morphologic and immunohistochemical (IHC) features.131 pathologists with genitourinary expertise were invited in an online survey containing 23 questions assessing their experience on TFE3-RCC diagnostic work-up.
