This letter summarizes recommendations from the interdisciplinary working group of renal tumors (IAGN) of the German Cancer Society for the systemic treatment of advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma in the context of the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
Though there are several prognostic models, there is no protein-related prognostic model. The aim of this study is to identify possible prognostic-related proteins in bladder urothelial carcinoma and to try to predict the prognosis of bladder urothelial carcinoma based on these proteins.
Family history of prostate cancer (PCa) is a well-known risk factor, and both common and rare genetic variants are associated with the disease. To detect new genetic variants associated with PCa, capitalizing on the role of family history and more aggressive PCa.
Identification of pro-metastatic genomic alterations is urgently needed to help understand and prevent the fatal course of prostate cancer. Here, we found that the transcription factor EGR3, located at chromosome 8p21.
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common male-specific cancers worldwide, with high morbidity and mortality rates associated with advanced disease stages. The current treatment options of PCa are prostatectomy, hormonal therapy, chemotherapy or radiotherapy, the selection of which is usually dependent upon the stage of the disease.
Radical prostatectomy (RP) remains the gold standard treatment for organ-confined prostate cancer. Nonetheless, it may impact on the quality of life (QoL),1 as many men complain about sexual dysfunction and urinary incontinence.2 There are several variables impacting on QoL after surgery, so there is a large variability in reported functional outcomes; i.e., the impairment of […]

With a rise in the incidence of stone disease more research is needed to understand the lifestyle factors associated with it. We evaluate available evidence for association of smoking, alcohol, and exercise with kidney stone disease (KSD).
The objective of this study is to compare the use of three-dimensional (3D) vision systems with traditional two-dimensional (2D) systems in laparoscopic urological surgery, analyzing the benefits, limitations and impact of introducing this medical technology with regard to surgical performance and the surgeon’s ergonomics.
The traditional surgical treatment for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is time-consuming owing to changing the surgical position and larger surgical trauma because of open surgery in handling the distal ureter.
