[Surgical and pathological consequences of preoperative immunotherapy in onco-urology].

Introduction: Patients treated with immunotherapy might need surgical procedures in addition to the medical treatment. The main indications are cytoreductive nephrectomy, cystectomy (as part of clinical trials) and metastasis removal in some oligometastatic patients. This study aims to assess the feasibility of surgery for patients treated by immunotherapy and describes the histological modifications found in the pathological analysis.

Antibiotic therapy impact on intravesical BCG therapy efficacy for high-risk localized bladder cancer treatment.

Intravesical Bacillus Calmettes-Guerin (BCG) instillations is the gold standard adjuvant treatment for high and very high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Antibiotics may be required to treat asymptomatic bacteriuria before instillations or to prevent side effects. By modifying the bladder microbiota and through its bactericidal action, it could modify the efficacy of BCG.

All consecutive patients treated for a localized kidney tumor by LPN after HETV between May 2015 and October 2022 in a single academic institution were included in the study.

Prospective Comparison of Thulium and Holmium Laser Lithotripsy for the Treatment of Upper Urinary Tract Lithiasis.

Background: Lithotripsy with holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser is the current gold standard for treating stones of the upper urinary tract (UUT). The recently introduced thulium fiber laser (TFL) has the potential to be more efficient and as safe as Ho:YAG.

Objective: To compare the performance and complications between Ho:YAG and TFL for UUT lithotripsy.

Impact of newly diagnosed prostate cancer at time of evaluation for renal transplantation.

Systematic screening for prostate cancer is widely recommended in candidates for renal transplant at the time of listing. There are concerns that overdiagnosis of low-risk prostate cancer may result in reducing access to transplant without demonstrated oncological benefits. The objective of the study was to assess the outcome of newly diagnosed prostate cancer in candidates for transplant at the time of listing, and its impact on transplant access and transplant outcomes according to treatment options.
