[The prognostic value of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma].

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of patients with non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma who were operated between 2004 and 2020 at our institution. The Kaplan-Meier method was utilized to graphically display survivor functions.

Spontaneous bladder diverticulum rupture due to a squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder: a case report.

While bladder rupture is most of the time secondary to external injury such as trauma or iatrogenic events, spontaneous bladder rupture (SBR) is a rare condition which is mostly associated with bladder cancer, neurologic bladder or radiotherapy. We report a case of a 63-year-old patient with an invasive squamous cell bladder carcinoma who presented acute peritonitis caused by a SBR while being prepared for radical surgery. CT-scan helped to confirm diagnosis and emergency cystectomy was performed.
