Urogenital Cancer Epidemiology in Poland (1980-2020): A Narrative Review.

Despite advances in prophylaxis, early diagnosis, and treatment, urogenital cancers represent a significant challenge to public health in Poland due to their relatively high prevalence and mortality rates. This narrative review aims to explore contemporary evidence on the epidemiology of urogenital cancers in Poland, such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, testicular cancer, and penile cancer, focusing on current and historical status and trends in the broader context of healthcare delivery. The literature consistently indicates that urogenital cancer continues to be a significant contributor to cancer incidence and mortality rates in Poland.

[Spontaneous cervical swelling syndrome].

Spontaneous cervical swelling syndrome is a rare, benign, and recurrent condition, most commonly affecting middle-aged women. Although its etiology is not fully understood, it is thought to be associated with intermittent occlusion of the thoracic duct, caused by increased pressure in the head and neck region. It occurs as an acute, limited swelling of the left supra-clavicular region and regresses, in most cases, spontaneously, in less than a week.

Severe dual fungal infection after bispecific antibody therapy: A case of invasive aspergillosis and mucormycosis in immunocompromised patient.

Bispecific antibody is a new treatment for hematological disease, especially for lymphoma, myeloma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This class of treatment presents the same kind of side effect as CAR-T cell which are immune-mediated. Nevertheless, infectious complication remains a major concerns with related mortality.

Removal of Spontaneously Fractured Leads with Their Proximal Ends in the Heart and Vasculature-Description of Different Approaches and Tools.

Removal of spontaneously fractured leads with their proximal ends migrated into the vascular space has not been analysed in detail thus far. The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of different approaches and auxiliary tools for removing fractured leads with migrated proximal ends. Retrospective analysis of 72 cases from a database containing 3847 TLEs (transvenous lead extraction).

Correlation Between BMI and Kidney Tumor Lateralization: Insights into Survival and Risk Factors.

: Kidney cancer accounts for approximately 2% of all diagnosed cancers and fatalities worldwide, and a notable increase in its incidence has been observed in recent years. Previous studies have identified various risk factors for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), including age, gender, smoking, hypertension, overweight, and obesity. However, limited information is available regarding the correlation between RCC risk factors and tumor lateralization.
