Ureteral polyps protruding from the urethra.

Background: Ureteral fibro-epithelial polyp (UFP) is a rare benign ureteral tumor, and surgical removal of the polyps is still the preferred solution. Although many cases have reported polyps extending to the bladder, our case was the first to report a huge UFP that underwent endoscopic laser resection to highlight the urethra and cause severe end hematuria permanently.

Case Presentation: In 2019, a 37-year-old woman came to the hospital because of hematuria and a dark red extraurethral mass.

Serum level of long noncoding RNA B3GALT5-AS1 as a diagnostic biomarker of colorectal cancer.

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) B3GALT5-AS1 has been reported as a biomarker for cancer monitoring. This research aims to identify serum long noncoding RNA B3GALT5-AS1 as a new biomarker for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) and evaluate its clinical value. Serum B3GALT5-AS1 expression levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR.
