Consistencies in Follow-up After Radical Cystectomy for Bladder Cancer: A Framework Based on Expert Practices Collaboratively Developed by the European Association of Urology Bladder Cancer Guideline Panels.

Background And Objective: There is no standardized regimen for follow-up after radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer (BC). To address this gap, we conducted a multicenter study involving urologist members from the European Association of Urology (EAU) bladder cancer guideline panels. Our objective was to identify consistent post-RC follow-up strategies and develop a practice-based framework based on expert opinion.

Is Tumor Budding a New Predictor for Early Cystectomy in pT1 High-Grade Bladder Cancer?

Unlabelled: Background & Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the risk of progression in high-grade T1 (HGT1) tumors using tumor budding (TB) and other standard clinical and histological features. TB is defined as an isolated cancer cell or a cluster composed of fewer than 5 cells scattered in the stroma and is usually used as a strong predictor of lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer.

Methods: This is an observational longitudinal cohort study involving 168 consecutive patients with HGT1 between 2013 and 2016.

Higher sex hormone-binding globulin and lower bioavailable testosterone are related to prostate cancer detection on prostate biopsy.

Objective: Recent studies show an inverse relationship between testosterone levels and prostate cancer (PCa). The usefulness of hormonal patterns in PCa diagnosis is controversial. This study aimed to determine the relationship between hormonal patterns and PCa, and to find a cut-off point of hormone levels to assess PCa risk.
