Deficiency of folliculin (FLCN) may lead to renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in patients with Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) disease. In this study, we investigated the cytotoxicity induced by PARP inhibitor olaparib in FLCN deficient RCC cells, and the interaction between FLCN and BRCA1 A complex-regulated DNA repair pathway.
MARC-2, a prospective, multicenter phase IV trial, aimed to investigate clinical outcomes in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treated with everolimus after failure of one initial vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (VEGFR-TKI) therapy and to identify subgroups benefiting most, based on clinical characteristics and biomarkers.
HIF1α has been termed a tumor-suppressor in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), primarily based on functional proliferation studies in cell lines (in vitro and in vivo) with genetic manipulation, and the adverse prognosis of 14q-deleted ccRCC patients.
This prospective randomized comparative trial study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic outcomes of radical nephroureterectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) used in combination in high risk upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients with cardiovascular comorbidity.
To evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of Japanese men on active surveillance (AS) in the Prostate cancer Research International Active Surveillance study in Japan (PRIAS-JAPAN). Participants were included in the PRIAS-JAPAN HRQoL study between January 2010 and March 2016.
The value of adding dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) imaging to T2-weighted (T2W) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to improve the detection and staging of prostate cancer (PCa) is unclear.
In the Rehabilitation of Prostate Cancer (RePCa) study, the intervention reduced early adverse effects in prostate cancer 6 months after radiotherapy. This 3-year follow-up study assesses late adverse effects, evaluates rehabilitative long-term effects and identifies patients who benefit the most.
The benefit of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) at radical prostatectomy (RP) remains unclear given the low prevalence of known nodal disease (pN1) and concerns about its therapeutic utility. To characterize the impact of PLND and secondary treatment on oncologic outcomes.
Positron emission tomography (PET) targeting the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has superior sensitivity over conventional imaging (CI) to stage prostate cancer (PCa) and therefore is increasingly used in staging to stratify patients before radical therapy.
Atezolizumab is a programmed death ligand-1 inhibitor for urothelial bladder cancer treatment. Atezolizumab has become the standard therapy for patients with urothelial bladder cancer who are not responding to cisplatin-based chemotherapy and is also used as a first-line treatment in cisplatin-ineligible patients.
