Article Synopsis
- Bladder carcinoma often leads to high morbidity and mortality due to its tendency to recur and progress, highlighting the need to understand the tumor microenvironment's role in cancer development and treatment responses.
- The study involved collecting blood and urothelial tissue samples from 41 bladder cancer patients to analyze immune cell populations using flow cytometry, focusing on different grades of cancer.
- Results showed variations in immune cell types and activation markers between tumor and blood samples, suggesting that understanding these immune responses could help improve treatment strategies and patient monitoring in bladder cancer cases.
Over the last 30 years, the treatment of urinary lithiasis has changed dramatically. With the advent of extracorporeal lithotripsy and the advances on ureterorenoscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy, the need to turn to open and laparoscopic/robotic surgery has diminished. The objective of this article is to review the different indications for open and/or laparoscopic treatment of urinary lithiasis, to achieve its complete elimination with the less invasive possible means and trying to minimize the number of secondary procedures as well as complications.

Currently prostate specific antigen (PSA) serum concentration is the most used prostate cancer marker, but it only shows limited specificity. Because PSA glycosylation is altered by prostate cancer, detecting glycosylation changes could increase PSA specificity as a prostate cancer marker.
