Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous endobiliary radiofrequency ablation (EB-RFA) for treating stubborn benign biliary strictures in 15 patients who had unsuccessful traditional treatments.
- Results showed a 100% technical success rate and an 87% clinical success rate after a median follow-up of 17 months, indicating significant improvement in patients’ conditions.
- The findings suggest that EB-RFA is a promising option for these strictures, though more extensive studies are needed for more conclusive evidence.
Purpose: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients has proven beneficial in overall survival. However, the optimal regimen is still a matter of debate.
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective analysis, we evaluate the results obtained in 42 patients treated in our center with 4 cycles of neoadjuvant dose-dense methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (dd-MVAC) followed by radical cystectomy from August 2015 to October 2020.
Article Synopsis
- Cancer patients with COVID-19 had to stop their treatments and went to the hospital more often than those without COVID-19.
- The study looked at 85 kidney cancer patients, comparing those who had COVID-19 while on different treatments.
- Even though COVID-19 caused treatment issues, it didn't seem to hurt the cancer outcomes for the patients.
Purpose: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been incorporated in the treatment of metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) upon platinum-based chemotherapy according to the positive results of large clinical trials. Nevertheless, results from unselected populations reflecting real-world data (RWD) are highly informative to the clinician. We reviewed daily clinical practice outcomes in patients with mUC who received atezolizumab in our institution.
