Robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in an adult with pelvic ectopic kidney with hydronephrosis: a case report and literature review.

Pelvic ectopic kidney is a congenital anomaly with a higher probability of hydronephrosis than a normal kidney. Few studies have reported cases of pelvic ectopic kidney with hydronephrosis in adults treated with robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP). We performed RALP on a 22-year-old male and he recovered well after the procedure.

Nomograms Combining PHI and PI-RADS in Detecting Prostate Cancer: A Multicenter Prospective Study.

(1) Background: The study aimed to construct nomograms to improve the detection rates of prostate cancer (PCa) and clinically significant prostate cancer (CSPCa) in the Asian population. (2) Methods: This multicenter prospective study included a group of 293 patients from three hospitals. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify potential risk factors and construct nomograms.

Genetic features of TP53 mutation and its downstream FOXA1 in prostate cancer.

Metastasis is the most lethal form of prostate cancer, and finding new therapeutic targets remains a major clinical challenge. TP53 mutation has been identified to be involved in tumor progression and metastasis. Nevertheless, direct evidence of the role of TP53 mutation in prostate cancer metastasis and its underlying mechanism remain obscure.
