Preoperative low plasma creatine kinase levels predict worse survival outcomes in bladder cancer after radical cystectomy.

Background And Aims: To evaluate the prognostic significance of preoperative creatine kinase (CK) levels in bladder cancer (BCa) patients who underwent radical cystectomy (RC).

Materials And Methods: 570 BCa patients with RC were identified between 2010 and 2020. 108.

The Role of cGAS-STING in Age-Related Diseases from Mechanisms to Therapies.

With aging, the incidence of age-related diseases increases. Hence, age-related diseases are inevitable. However, the mechanisms by which aging leads to the onset and progression of age-related diseases remain unclear.

The prognostic value of the systemic immune-inflammation index for patients with bladder cancer after radical cystectomy.

Background: Biomarkers acquired from blood samples are easy to obtain and cost-effective, have attracted considerable interest, and have been widely investigated. Inflammation plays a crucial role in cancer cell initiation, proliferation, and metastasis. We aimed to evaluate the association of the preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) with the clinical outcomes of patients diagnosed with bladder cancer and who underwent radical cystectomy (RC).

Giant bilateral primary scrotal lipoma along with lipomas in multiple sites of the body: a case report and literature review.

Mesenchymal neoplasms of the scrotum are extremely rare in the clinical practices, in which lipoma is the most common benign neoplasm of them. Primary scrotal lipoma refers to the lipoma originated from scrotal wall. We reported a rare case of a 47-year-old man who suffered from bilateral giant primary scrotal lipoma along with lipomas in multiple sites of the body.
