Introduction: This study aims to investigate whether the transrectal ultrasound-guided combined biopsy (CB) improves the detection rates of prostate cancer (PCa) and clinically significant PCa (csPCa) in biopsy-naïve patients. We also aimed to compare the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS v2.1) score, ADC values, and PSA density (PSAd) in predicting csPCa by the combined prostate biopsy.

Background: Disulfidptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death induced by high SLC7A11 expression under glucose starvation conditions, unlike other known forms of cell death. However, the roles of disulfidptosis in cancers have yet to be comprehensively well-studied, particularly in ccRCC.

Methods: The expression profiles and somatic mutation of DGs from the TCGA database were investigated.

As a new form of regulated cell death, cuproptosis differs profoundly from apoptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis. The correlation between cuproptosis and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been increasingly studied recently. In this study, a novel cuproptosis-related lncRNA prognostic signature was developed to investigate biochemical recurrence (BCR) and tumor immune landscape in prostate cancer (PCa).

Introduction: Bladder cancer (BC) is a significant carcinoma of the urinary system that has a high incidence of morbidity and death owing to the challenges in accurately identifying people with early-stage BC and the lack of effective treatment options for those with advanced BC. Thus, there is a need to define new markers of prognosis and prediction.

Methods: In this study, we have performed a comprehensive proteomics experiment by label-free quantitative proteomics to compare the proteome changes in the serum of normal people and bladder cancer patients-the successful quantification of 2064 Quantifiable proteins in total.
