To investigate the prognostic value of preoperative serum albumin to globulin ratio (AGR) in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) treated with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURB) with or without intravesical therapy (IVT).
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant changes in the healthcare system. Although it is expected that the diagnosis of cancer care may be delayed, the exact impact on the referral pattern of patients with urologic malignancies is unknown.
The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence among female university varsity rugby players. Secondary objectives were to understand when the incontinence occurred and to assess the degree of bother experienced.
To evaluate temporal trends in neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) utilization and outcomes in patients with locally advanced upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). We included 289 patients from seven hospitals who underwent radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for locally advanced UTUC (≥cT3 or cN+) between 2000 and 2020.
We analyzed the clinical and pathological features of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients treated with cabozantinib stratified by body mass index (BMI). We retrospectively collected data from 16 worldwide centers involved in the treatment of RCC.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) could interact with each other to play a vital role in the pathogenesis of cancers. We aimed to examine the expression profile, clinical significance and regulatory relationship of miR-130a-3p and its predicted interactive lncRNA in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications represent one of the most common methylation modifications, and they are mediated by m6A RNA methylation regulators. However, their functions in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are not completely understood.
Advanced germ cell tumors are aggressive and associated with poor prognosis. Pembrolizumab was overall well-tolerated in 12 heavily pretreated patients. Three patients had radiographic stable disease that lasted for 10.
Transperineal prostate biopsy offers improved sampling of the anterior prostate compared to the transrectal approach. The objective of this study was to determine if transperineal prostate biopsy is associated with an increased incidence of cancer upgrading among men on active surveillance for very low or low risk prostate cancer.
Cancer, which historically was diagnosed at late and incurable stages, has expanded to a heterogeneous group of conditions that vary from clinically insignificant to rapidly aggressive and lethal. This evolution is due to the widespread use of screening tests for early detection of cancer, both directed (i.
