Is 3D laparoscopic off clamp simple enucleation a feasible alternative for clinical T1 renal tumors? Outcomes from a single center experience.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety of 3D laparoscopic off clamp simple enucleation (SE) of kidney tumors versus standard laparoscopic on-clamp partial nephrectomy (PN) in terms of perioperative, oncological and functional outcomes.

Methods: All patients that underwent 3D laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (NSS) in our department for clinical T1 tumors between January 2019-September 2020 were included. Of the total of 84 patients, 38 (45.

3D laparoscopic enucleation vs standard partial nephrectomy for cT1 renal masses: assessment of functional outcomes at 1-year follow-up.

Aim: To evaluate renal function after laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) and to establish the factors that might influence its dynamic one year after surgery.

Methods: The prospective study included 83 patients previously diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma who underwent laparoscopic NSS. Demographic, clinical, laboratory and surgery related data were recorded.

Connecting the dots between different networks: miRNAs associated with bladder cancer risk and progression.

Background: Bladder cancer (BC) is a common urothelial malignancy, characterized by a high recurrence rate. The biology of bladder cancer is complex and needs to be deciphered. The latest evidence reveals the critical role of the non-coding RNAs, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs), as vital regulatory elements in cancer.

Investigation of Renal Cell Carcinoma by Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound- Predictive Value of Time Intensity Curve Analysis in Establishing Local Tumor Invasion and Stage: A Pilot Study.

Purpose: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) allows for real-time examination of signal intensity changes in a region of interest (ROI) and quantification of contrast agent kinetics. This study assessed the predictive ability of time-intensity curve (TIC) parameters for local tumor invasion and T stage of renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Materials And Methods: Renal tumors in 41 patients were examined by CEUS.
