Background: Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is the second most common urological malignancy. Despite numerous molecular markers have been evaluated during the past decades, no urothelial markers for diagnosis and recurrence monitoring have shown consistent clinical utility.
Methods: The methylation level of tissue samples from public database and clinical collected were analyzed.

Objectives: We aimed to compare the efficacy and adverse events of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) versus Mitomycin C (MMC) in high-risk Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) patients.
Methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted over 24 months in four hospitals in Egypt. A sample of 90 patients was randomly assigned to either treatment group, with procedures including baseline examinations, a single postoperative instillation of chemotherapy, a 6-week induction cycle of the assigned drug, and regular follow-up cystoscopies and upper urinary tract imaging.

Context: Haematuria can be macroscopic (visible haematuria [VH]) or microscopic (nonvisible haematuria [NVH]), and may be caused by a number of underlying aetiologies. Currently, in case of haematuria, cystoscopy is the standard diagnostic tool to screen the entire bladder for malignancy.
Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to determine the diagnostic test accuracy of cystoscopy (compared with other tests, eg, computed tomography, urine biomarkers, and urine cytology) for detecting bladder cancer in adults.

Bladder cancer (BC) is a malignant tumor that occurs in the bladder mucosa and has a high morbidity and mortality rate. Early diagnosis means that cystoscopy-aided imaging is invasive and pricey. Microfluidic immunoassay enables noninvasive detection of early BC.

Post-obstructive diuresis and decompressive hematuria are rare but potentially serious complications of severe urinary retention. This is a case report of a 73-year-old patient with undiagnosed severe large-volume urinary retention who developed extreme cases of both complications after presenting with progressive weight gain, lower extremity edema, worsening dyspnea, and new-onset urinary incontinence. Upon further evaluation, the patient was determined to have acute renal failure, bilateral hydroureteronephrosis, a severely distended urinary bladder, and an enlarged prostate.
