Bladder cancer is a urothelial cancer and effective therapeutic strategies for its advanced stages are limited. Here, we report that CD271, a neurotrophin receptor, promotes the proliferation and migration of bladder cancer cells. CD271 knockdown decreased proliferation in both adherent and spheroid cultures, and vice versa when CD271 was overexpressed in bladder cancer cell lines.

This study aimed to validate the mIMDC and to construct a new model in a localized and locally advanced RCC (LLRCC).

Article Synopsis
- Carney complex (CNC) is a rare genetic syndrome associated with endocrine issues and various tumors, linked to deletions in specific genes on chromosomes 2 and 17.
- A study presented a mother and son with CNC caused by an 8.57-kb deletion in the PRKAR1A gene, affecting tumor formation and hormone regulation.
- The identified deletion is new and could improve the molecular diagnosis of CNC, as the mother had recurrent cardiac myxoma, a key indicator of the syndrome.
Prostate cancer patients with initial PSA 100 ng/ml or greater who received transrectal ultrasoundguided prostate biopsy and were staged as M0 by imaging studies from 2011 to 2014 in seven hospitals, were enrolled in the study. Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)-free survival was compared between the two treatment groups : androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone and ADT plus local therapy. Of 142 prostate cancer patients with initial PSA 100 ng/ml or greater, 49 (34.
