Oncological and functional outcomes of patients who underwent open partial nephrectomy for kidney tumor.

Objective: To report long-term functional and oncological outcomes of OPN Methods: We enrolled 182 patients who underwent consecutive OPN with a diagnosis of kidney tumor in our clinic between April 2002 and February 2020 and were selected from our prospective OPN database. Preoperative demographic and clinical characteristics, intraoperative and pathological results, and patients' postoperative functional and oncological follow-up data were retrospectively analyzed. Overall survival (OS) and disease- free survival (DFS) were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.

The prognostic value of expressions of STAT3, PD-L1, and PD-L2 in Ta/T1 urothelial carcinoma before and after BCG treatment.

Introduction: Nonmuscle invasive bladder cancers (NMIBC) are common tumors diagnosed in older individuals and men (median age: 69 years). Immunotherapy is a treatment option in cases resistant to Bacillus-Calmette-Guerin (BCG) therapy. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic role of programmed-cell-death ligand (PD-L)-1 (PD-L1), PD-L2, and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) expressions, which are closely related to immune mechanisms, in the response to BCG treatment of NMIBC.

Evaluation of comprehensive complication index versus Clavien-Dindo classification in prediction of overall survival after radical cystectomy.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the benefits of Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) compared with the Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) in the reporting of radical cystectomy (RC) complications.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed post-operative complications of 251 consecutive RC patients between 2009 and 2021. Patient demographics and causes of mortality were noted.

Reporting perioperative complications of radical cystectomy: the influence of using standard methodology based on ICARUS and EAU quality criteria.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate perioperative complications of radical cystectomy (RC) by using standardized methodology. Additionally, we identified independent risk factors associated with perioperative complications.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 30-day and 90-day perioperative complications of 211 consecutive RC patients.

Immune-inflammatory-nutritional status predicts oncologic outcomes after radical cystectomy for urothelial carcinoma of bladder.

Objective: To perform the first investigation of the role of immune-inflammatory-nutritional status (INS) on oncological outcomes in patients undergoing open radical cystectomy (ORC) for urothelial carcinoma (UC).

Materials And Methods: The records of consecutive patients who underwent ORC for non-metastatic bladder cancer between 2009 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy, non-urothelial tumor biology, and absence of oncological follow-up were exclusion criteria.
