Unlabelled: The current study aimed to evaluate short- and long-term complication rates and functional outcomes in a substantial cohort of patients undergoing ileal ureter interposition at two high-volume medical centres.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective single-arm analysis was conducted on patients who underwent ureter reconstruction using ileum between 2003 and 2022 at the University Clinic of Cologne and the National Cancer Institute of Ukraine. Data on aetiology, surgical techniques, pre- and postoperative kidney function changes, readmission rates and complication management were collected.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify key factors influencing the choice of surgical treatment for patients with localized Renal-Cell Carcinoma (RCC) using clinical and nephrometry data.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent surgery for localized RCC between 2010 and 2017 and used multivariate predictive modeling to assess risks associated with surgical options.
- Results indicated that the risks for partial nephrectomy (PN) were linked to remaining functioning kidney tissue volumes for polar and lateral tumors, while tumor size was the main factor for medial tumors, with the predictive model showing high sensitivity (95.2%) and specificity (95.4%).
Background: Effective prediction of the course of prostate cancer (PCa) and the stratification of treatment tactics largely depend on the use of prognostic markers that reflect the molecular and biological features of tumors. In view of the important role of matricellular proteins in the modulation of the growing tumor and metastasis of the hormone-dependent neoplasms, the aim of the work was to study the expression of osteopontin (OPN) at the protein and mRNA levels in the PCa tissue in order to assess the significance of this protein for predicting the aggressiveness of PCa.
Materials And Methods: The work is based on the analysis of the results of the examination and treatment of 83 patients with PCa of stages II-IV.
Purpose: This study aimed to estimate the difference between peripheral and central small renal lesions in terms of their oncologic potential.
Methods: Cross-sectional retrospective analysis of patients with small renal masses (T1a) who underwent surgical treatment between January 2008 and July 2019 at the affiliated hospital. Only patients with ccRCC pathology were included.
We aimed to investigate the relationship between the degree of mast cells' (MCs) infiltration and clinicopathological features of prostate cancer (PCa) malignancy and to find out the possible mechanisms of the involvement of these cells in the formation of the aggressive course of the PCa development. The study was conducted on the clinical material of 60 patients with PCa of stages II-III. MCs in the PCa tissue were determined by a histochemical method using toluidine blue.
