Application of PLK1 and HOXA13 Gene Expression Levels in Urine in the Diagnosis of Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
This study aimed to develop an accurate and non-invasive urine-based gene expression assay, including fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3), homeobox A13 (HOXA13), and polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), to diagnose non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) at stages Ta and T1. The samples were acquired from 62 patients with NMIBC, 31 control individuals, and 31 patients with non-cancerous genitourinary tract diseases. The expression levels of three relevant genes were determined using quantitative RT-PCR. In addition, the sensitivity and specificity of the data for these genes were computed. Our results showed that PLK1, HO...

Effectiveness and Safety of Extended Lymph Node Dissection during Radical Surgery in Patients with Bladder Cancer: A Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with BC undergoing radical cystectomy, extended lymph node dissection did not have a significant effect on operative time, 90-day readmission rates or postoperative complication rates. Thus, extended lymph node dissection is a safe treatment that does not increase the patient's surgical risk.PMID:38715172 | DOI:10.56434/j.arch.esp.urol.20247703.40 (Source: Archivos Espanoles de Urologia)

Applications of artificial intelligence in urologic oncology
CONCLUSIONS: AI technology is actively being investigated in the field of urological cancers as a tool for diagnosis, prediction of prognosis, and decision-making and is expected to be applied in additional clinical areas soon. Despite technological, legal, and ethical concerns, AI will change the landscape of urological cancer management.PMID:38714511 | PMC:PMC11076794 | DOI:10.4111/icu.20230435 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

The challenge of survivors of gynecological carcinomas: a retrospective study on occurrence of second tumors
ConclusionPatients with gynecological tumors have a significantly higher risk of malignant tumors in other systems compared to ordinary population. It is necessary to be vigilant against subsequent high-risk tumors and tumors with poor prognosis within 5 years of initial diagnosis. (Source: Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics)
