Objective: To investigate the expression patterns of Nectin-4, the target molecule of the antibody-drug conjugate enfortumab vedotin (EV), in relation to histological and molecular subtypes of urothelial bladder cancer (UBC).

Patients And Methods: We assessed the protein expression patterns of Nectin-4 in a spatially organised tissue microarray containing 1386 tissue cores from 314 consecutive patients with UBC who underwent radical cystectomy (2005-2018). Results were correlated with clinicopathological and follow-up data, as well as with different spatial locations (tumour central vs tumour-normal interface and primary tumour vs lymph node [LN] metastases).

Empagliflozin (EMPA) is one of the sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors that has been recently approved for the treatment of diabetes mellitus type II. Recently, EMPA has shown protective effects in different neurological disorders, besides its antidiabetic activity. Kindling is a relevant model to study epilepsy and neuroplasticity.

Article Synopsis
  • T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) presents as an aggressive cancer with diverse subtypes, making traditional classification difficult.
  • A multiomics analysis of bone marrow samples revealed a specific subset of T-lineage ALL with active inflammatory and stem gene programs, showing unique biological and treatment response characteristics.
  • A computational inflammatory gene signature scoring system was developed to better classify patients, identifying a high-risk subtype that could guide targeted therapies for more effective treatment approaches.

Background: Despite constant improvements, incontinence is one of the most relevant and quality-of-life-reducing side effects of radical prostatectomy (RP) and, in addition to patient-specific factors such as age, the experience of the surgeon/center and the surgical technique used play an important role.

Aims: To present current real-world data on short-term incontinence after RP from one of the largest German rehabilitation centers in 2022 and to compare it to the results from the same institution in 2016.

Methods And Results: Retrospective, unicentric, univariate analysis of data from 1394 men after RP in 2022 on admission and discharge from the rehabilitation clinic.

Introduction And Aim Of The Study: The impact of surgical therapy in selected patients with limited metastatic/recurrence burden have not yet been well studied. We investigated the outcome of surgical resection for patients with local recurrence only or oligometastatic UC of the bladder.

Patients And Methods: We identified patients with oligometastatic UC or local recurrence only after radical cystectomy (RC) who underwent surgical resection with curative intent between 2003 and 2022 at our center.
