Bladder cancer is a very important issue in contemporary urology. The aim of this pilot study was to assess for the first time the clinical utility of semaphorin 3C (sema3C) and 4A (sema4A) in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The experiment involved 15 patients with NMIBC and 5 patients without malignancies as the control group.

- Researchers identified changes in 219 genes in Leydig cell tumors, but there's still limited understanding of their basic biochemical properties, highlighting the need for potential biochemical markers for better tumor management.
- The study involved analyzing Leydig cell micronodules from azoospermic patients through histological staining and spectrophotometric measurements, focusing on proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
- Compared to healthy testis, Leydig cell tumors showed a significant loss of copper levels, which may be linked to their altered biochemical structure and could provide insights for new management strategies.
