Patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) have high recurrence and progression rates in spite of tumor resection and adjuvant instillation therapy. To detect recurrences and progression, these patients remain under frequent follow-up.
Mast cells play a critical role in cancer-associated immunity. We aimed to determine the predictive value of urinary mast cell mediators in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) treated with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy.
We aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics and oncological outcomes of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients who developed muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU).
To summarise the currently available literature and analyse available results of the outcome of intraoperative frozen-section analysis (FSA) on upper urinary tract recurrence (UUTR) after radical cystectomy (RC).
The ever-increasing morbidity and mortality of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) urgently demands updated biomarkers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in diverse biological processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis by regulating their target genes’ expression.
Although targeted therapy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has achieved good therapeutic effects in clinic, a considerable number of patients develop drug resistance over time. So, there is still an urgent need to develop new drugs for RCC treatment.
Cabozantinib inhibits tyrosine kinase activity at the MET, AXL, and VEGF receptors and is approved for front-line therapy in metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Little off-protocol data exist on tolerability and response.
Men with prostate cancer (PCa) have high cause-specific survival, and most deaths are of other causes. This study aimed to investigate other- and all-cause mortality in a large cancer screening cohort.
We aimed to assess the attitudes and perceptions towards multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) of the prostate among Italian urologists. A national, web-based survey was performed.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical impact of perineural invasion (PNI) in prostate biopsy in patients submitted to radical prostatectomy and on active surveillance (AS). We performed a single center, retrospective, cohort study on patients diagnosed with clinically localized prostate cancer and submitted to radical prostatectomy between January 2010 and December […]
