To evaluate the dynamic nature of self-reported health-related quality of life (HRQL) and morbidity burden in men diagnosed with prostate cancer, we performed a follow-up study of the Life After Prostate Cancer Diagnosis (LAPCD) study cohort 12 months after initial survey.
Smaller prostates have been linked to unfavorable clinical characteristics and poor short-term outcomes following radical prostatectomy (RP). We examined the relation between prostate weight at RP and prostate cancer (PC) outcomes post-RP.
Penile cancer (PeCa) is a rare disease, with a global incidence of 36068 new cases reported in the 2020 GLOBOCAN database. Narrower excision margins are now acceptable without compromising survival.
To investigate the accuracy of Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) in detection of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature.
To investigate whether Robotic assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) is associated with increased postoperative pulmonary complications compared to open radical cystectomy (ORC). RARC poses challenges for ventilation with positioning and abdominal insufflation.
The decision regarding discontinuation or maintenance of pharmacologic molecules acting on the coagulation pathway, in preparation of radical prostatectomy (RP), involves a trade-off between the risks of venous thromboembolism and major bleeding. This topic, although investigated in open RP series, has been poorly addressed in contemporary robot-assisted RP (RARP) cases.

Stress-related diseases (SRDs) are adjustment disorders triggered by stressful life changes. There is a growing body of evidence showing that stress plays an important role in the pathophysiology of IC/BPS.
This study aimed to combine plasma netrin-1 and clinical parameters to construct a diagnostic model for bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC). We analyzed the independent diagnostic value of netrin-1 and the correlation with clinical symptom scores of BPS/IC.
Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) represents the third most frequent malignancy in Lynch syndrome (LS). To systematically review the available literature focused on incidence, diagnosis, clinicopathological features, oncological outcomes, and screening protocols for UTUC among LS patients.
