An unexpected complication after removing bladder foreign body: a case report.

Background: Bladder foreign bodies commonly arise as urgent issues in urology. These foreign bodies are typically extracted through cystoscopy or cystotomy. In general, these surgical approaches rarely lead to serious complications.

CCL5 promotes the proliferation and metastasis of bladder cancer via the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Background: Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the urinary system. There is an urgent need for further studies to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of bladder cancer (BC) progression. It has been observed that C-C chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) and its receptor C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) are expressed abnormally and activated in solid tumors and hematological malignancies, which is gaining increasing attention.

An Integrated Systematic Analysis and the Clinical Significance of Hepcidin in Common Malignancies of the Male Genitourinary System.

Tumors of the male genitourinary system are of great concern to the health of men worldwide. Although emerging experiment-based evidence indicates an association between hepcidin and such cancers, an integrated analysis is still lacking. For this reason, in this study, we determined the underlying oncogenic functions of hepcidin in common male genitourinary system tumors, including bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA), kidney chromophobe (KICH), kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD), and testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) according to the data from The Cancer Genome Atlas.

LncRNA Promotes Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Progression by Targeting to Upregulate .

Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been regarded as crucial regulators in many cancers, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). This research aimed to explore the biological role and molecular mechanism of lncRNA in ccRCC.

Materials And Methods: The expression levels of and were examined by RT-qPCR.

Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma of the kidney: Five case reports and review of the literature.

Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) of the kidney is a rare and polymorphic tumor, which has been previously considered to be a low-grade malignancy, predominantly occurring in women. To the best of our knowledge, MTSCC with bladder metastasis has never been reported. The current study presents five adult cases of MTSCC that included three male and two female patients.

Tumor-derived exosomes facilitate tumor cells escape from drug therapy in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers in renal cancer patients. Currently, mTOR and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors are the main targets of clinical drugs used to treat ccRCC. However, the major clinical challenge with these treatments is drug resistance.

A novel circular RNA (hsa_circRNA_102336), a plausible biomarker, promotes the tumorigenesis by sponging miR-515-5p in human bladder cancer.

Bladder cancer (BC) ranks as the ninth common human tumor in the world with an increasing incidence. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been revealed to exhibit promotive or suppressive impacts on tumor progression of various human cancers, including BC. However, due to the variety of circRNAs, the whole circRNAs network in BC remains unclear.

Transperitoneal versus extraperitoneal approach in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: A meta-analysis.

Background: To compare the transperitoneal approach with extraperitoneal approach in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) (including pure and robotic-assisted LRP) using meta-analytic techniques.

Methods: Medline (PubMed), Embase, Ovid, CMB, and Cochrane databases were searched for studies that compared the transperitoneal and extraperitoneal approaches in LRP from January 2000 to January 2017. Outcomes included were operative time, operative bloods joss (milliliters), rate of transfusion, rate of open conversion, rate of intraoperative complications, rate of postoperative complications, and time of postoperative catheterization.

Adult-onset renal cell carcinoma associated with Xp11.2 translocation/TFE3 gene fusion: 3 case reports and review of literature.

Rationale: Renal cell carcinoma associated with Xp11.2 translocations/TFE3 gene fusions is a rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma. This predominantly occurs in juveniles, but rarely seen in adults with lymph node or organic metastasis and a worsened prognosis.
