Introduction: Urothelial bladder neoplasm (UBN) is an uncommon lesion in children and adolescents, without established follow-up protocol defined for this patient group.
Objectives: To report our experience and long-term follow-up data on pediatric patients with urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder.
Methods: In this retrospective two center study, we analyzed the perioperative and long-term follow-up data of nine pediatric patients, who presented with neoplasms of urothelial origin within the urinary bladder between 2000 and 2021.
Objective: With the initiative of the ACR International Economics Committee, a multinational survey was conducted to evaluate radiology residency programs around the world.
Methods: A 31-question survey was developed. It included: economic issues, program size and length, resident's activities during daytime and call, academic aspects including syllabus and examinations.
Background/aims: To determine the relationship between the mRNA expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, TIMP-2 and CEA in tumour tissue and preoperative serum levels of these tumour markers in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM). Additionally, to establish a new scoring system based upon these results in combination with the volume of the metastatic process to identify patients with a high risk of early recurrence of CLM.
Methodology: The correlation between the mRNA expression of CEA, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in tissue samples and preoperative serum levels of the named tumour markers was performed on 27 patients.
Preoperative tumor markers as prognostic factors of colorectal liver metastases.

Background/aims: Tumor recurrence develops in 45-80% of patients after liver surgery for colorectal liver metastases. To assess the significance of preoperative tumor marker levels for disease free interval (DFI) and patient survival (PS) after liver surgery.
Methodology: Preoperative serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen--CEA, CA 19-9, CA 72-4, thymidine kinase (TK), tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) and tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS) were evaluated in 173 patients operated on for colorectal liver metastases (CLM).
