Primary high-grade urothelial carcinoma of prostate with prostatic hyperplasia: a rare case report and review of the literature.

Background: Primary urothelial carcinoma in the prostate (UCP) is extremely rare and occurs most frequently in the bladder. There are only dozens of primary cases reported in the literature. Here, we describe a rare case of primary UCP and review the literature.

Development and validation a model for predicting overall survival of bladder cancer with lung metastasis: a population-based study.

Background: Although the number of patients with bladder cancer and lung metastasis is increasing there is no accurate model for predicting survival in these patients.

Methods: Patients enrolled in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database between 2010 and 2015 were selected for the study. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were used to determine independent prognostic factors, followed by development of a nomogram based on the multivariate Cox regression models.

Bergenin inhibits bladder cancer progression via activating the PPARγ/PTEN/Akt signal pathway.

Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the urinary system with high mortality and morbidity. Evidence revealed that bergenin could affect the development of cancer. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect of bergenin on bladder cancer progression and its mechanism.

Influences of Different Operative Methods on the Recurrence Rate of Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer.

Purpose: To compare the influence of three operative approaches [transurethral en bloc resection of bladder tumor by pin-shaped electrode (pin-ERBT), transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and transurethral holmium laser resection of bladder tumor (HoLRBT)] on the recurrence rate of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) at low dimension (i.e. diameter below 3 cm).

Circular RNA cir-ITCH Is a Potential Therapeutic Target for the Treatment of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.

cir-ITCH, a well-known tumor-suppressive circular RNA, plays a critical role in different cancers. However, its expression and functional role in prostate cancer (PCa) are unclear. Herein, we explored the potential mechanism and tumor-inhibiting role of cir-ITCH in PCa.

Inhibitory Effect of AG490 on STAT3 Signal Transduction Pathway in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Cells.

Objective: To determine the effect of JAK kinase inhibitor AG490 on proliferation and apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line C666-1 and explore the inhibitory effect of AG490 on STAT3 signal transduction pathway.

Study Design: An experimental study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Xi'an Ninth Hospital, Xi'an, China, from May 2015 to December 2016.
