Article Synopsis
- This study examined the correlation between the albumin-to-alkaline phosphatase ratio (AAPR) and survival rates in patients with non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after surgery.
- A total of 648 patients were analyzed, and it was found that a low AAPR was linked to factors like older age and larger tumor size, while a higher AAPR indicated better overall survival and cancer-specific survival rates.
- The researchers created a nomogram incorporating AAPR which showed improved predictive accuracy for patient outcomes, emphasizing the need for further large-scale studies to confirm these findings.
Objective: To explore whether cytoreductive partial nephrectomy (cPN) or cytoreductive radical nephrectomy (cRN), is more beneficial for patients with locally T stage metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).
Methods: We retrospectively collected the data ofthe patients with locally T stage mRCC ( =934) from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Logistic regression was conducted to identify the determinants of cPN.
Background: A novel systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), based on the neutrophils, lymphocytes and platelet counts, is associated with the prognosis of several cancers. The present study evaluates the prognostic significance of SII in non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Method: The present study retrospectively reviewed the medical record of patients with non-metastatic RCC who underwent nephrectomy between 2010 and 2013.
Background: Open surgery remains the preferred surgical treatment of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), while the role of minimally invasive adrenalectomy surgery (MIS) in ACC is still controversial. The present study was conducted to compare MIS with open adrenalectomy (OA) in ACC.
Methods: The Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane Library databases were comprehensively searched.
Purpose: For men with a suspicion of prostate cancer (PCa), the transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy (TRUS-Bx) was recommended. Multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) could be more useful to more accurately selected patients who are with a clinical suspicion of PCa and eligible for biopsy, and avoid a biopsy if the result was negative. In the present study, we compared the MRI-targeted biopsy (MRI-TBx) with TRUS-Bx.

Objective: To study and compare the practical use of three prognostic predication models in clinical non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Methods: We retrospectively collected the data of 1 202 clinical non-metastatic RCC patients operated on between 1999 and 2012 at West China Hospital of Sichuan University. Survival analysis method was used to establish three prognostic prediction models including SSIGN, Leibovich and UISS based on different clinical and pathological indicators.
Objective: Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approaches to radical cystectomy (RC) develop well in the past decades. We performed the present study to compare the perioperative outcomes, pathological outcomes, and oncologic outcomes between MIS approaches and open radical cystectomy (ORC) for bladder cancer.
Method: We conducted a comprehensive study search up to March 2019, searching the online database Embase, PubMed and Cochrane Library.
Objective: The modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), a combination of C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin levels, reflects systemic inflammation and nutritional status. This score has been shown to have prognosis value for various tumors. In the present study, we evaluated the prognostic value of mGPS for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

We summarized all available evidence to investigate the prognostic value of sarcopenia in patients with surgically treated urothelial carcinoma (UC).
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive study search up to January 2019, searching the online database Embase, PubMed and Cochrane Library.

Objective: To evaluate the risk factors for wound healing of infective surgical incision in patients of muscle invasive bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy.
Methods: This study retrospectively collected clinical data of the patients who received radical cystectomy and experienced incisional infection after operation between January 2009 and December 2016. The patients were divided into early healing group and delayed healing group (the healing time is less or more than 14 d after operation).
