Kidney cancer following occupational exposure to trichloroethylene: Clinical case series and review of the literature.

Introduction: This case study describes the clinical, medical and administrative management of kidney cancer secondary to occupational exposure to trichloroethylene, a chlorinated solvent classified as a known carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Method: Data were collected from the computerized records of all patients treated by the occupational medicine department of Montpellier University Hospital for kidney cancer following occupational exposure to trichloroethylene.

Results: The study included five patients aged between 36 and 64years.

Parietal complications after cystectomy: Incisional and parastomal hernia, epidemiology and risk factors.

Introduction: Incisional and parastomal hernias are frequent complications after cystectomy. The aim of our study was to define their incidence, identify risk factors related to the patient and the surgical technique, and identify means of prevention.

Material: This was a multicenter, retrospective study, analyzing clinical and radiological data from 521 patients operated on for cystectomy between January 2010 and December 2020.

Bmp9 regulates Notch signaling and the temporal dynamics of angiogenesis via Lunatic Fringe.

In Brief: The mechanisms regulating the signaling pathways involved in angiogenesis are not fully known. Ristori et al. show that Lunatic Fringe (LFng) mediates the crosstalk between Bone Morphogenic Protein 9 (Bmp9) and Notch signaling, thereby regulating the endothelial cell behavior and temporal dynamics of their identity during sprouting angiogenesis.

Impact of newly diagnosed prostate cancer at time of evaluation for renal transplantation.

Systematic screening for prostate cancer is widely recommended in candidates for renal transplant at the time of listing. There are concerns that overdiagnosis of low-risk prostate cancer may result in reducing access to transplant without demonstrated oncological benefits. The objective of the study was to assess the outcome of newly diagnosed prostate cancer in candidates for transplant at the time of listing, and its impact on transplant access and transplant outcomes according to treatment options.

[Which non pharmacological interventions should be offered to patients treated with androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer? A systematic review].

Aim: Prostate cancer is a frequent disease and one of the main treatments used is androgen deprivation therapy, which is a therapy with disabling side effects. Non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) are evidenced based, non-invasive interventions on human health. They are classified into five categories (physical, psychological, nutritional, digital, elemental).
