Objective: To investigate the feasibility of fluorescence molecular imaging (FMI), using cetuximab-800CW, as an intraoperative tool to determine surgical margins in penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC).
Patients And Methods: A total of 11 patients with PSCC received 75 mg cetuximab followed by 15 mg cetuximab-800CW 2 days before surgery. FMI of the whole excision specimen and tissue slices was performed.
Background: Radical cystectomy is still the gold standard for muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma (MIBC) treatment. In order to reduce postoperative complications, multimodality bladder-sparing therapies could be a good alternative. Studies in various malignancies have shown that the modified Frailty Index (mFI) may be more useful for identifying high-risk patients.

Methods: We searched all longitudinal studies describing the association between LUTS and CVD (mortality) in October 2013 and December 2014 using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library Central Register. PRISMA criteria were met.
