With a daily intake of 250 ppm total ascorbic acid, ODS and F344 male rats were given 0.0125%, 0.025% or 0.05% N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN) in the drinking water for 12 weeks, and additional groups received 0.05% BBN for 2, 4 or 8 weeks. The experiment was terminated after a total of 36 weeks. A greater response to urinary bladder carcinogenesis was observed in both strains with increasing dose of BBN or longer treatment period. However, the magnitude of urinary bladder carcinogenesis in ODS rats given the higher BBN concentrations and/or long periods of BBN treatment was less than in comparably treated F344 rats, but not with lower concentrations of BBN and/or shorter periods of BBN treatment.

: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with worse surgical outcomes, and is a risk factor for bladder cancer and subsequent oncological outcomes. This study evaluated outcomes robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) compared to open radical cystectomy (ORC) in patients with DM. : Data of adults ≥ 18 years old with DM who underwent radical cystectomy were extracted from the United States National Inpatient Sample database 2005-2018.

Bladder cancer (BC) is a prevalent urinary malignancy and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is particularly aggressive and associated with poor prognosis. One of MIBC features is the nuclear atypia. However, the molecular mechanism underlying MIBC remains unclear.

Arsenic (As) occurs naturally in different forms and oxidation states. Amongst them, inorganic arsenic (iAs) is classified as both genotoxic and carcinogenic whilst other organic arsenic species are considered less toxic. As in rice is mainly present in the form of iAs which therefore poses a health risk to populations that consume rice as a staple food.

Bladder cancer originates from bladder tissues and is the ninth most common type of cancer worldwide. The SWI/SNF (SWItch/sucrose non- fermentable) complex plays a crucial role in regulating various biological processes, such as cell cycle control, DNA damage repair and transcription regulation. The purpose of this article is to examine the functional studies of the SWI/SNF complex in bladder cancer, highlighting new pathways for creating personalised treatment approaches for bladder cancer patients with mutations in the SWI/SNF complex.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a prevalent condition leading to male lower urinary tract symptoms (mLUTS), particularly in aging populations. Current management strategies-spanning watchful waiting, pharmaceutical therapy, and surgical interventions such as transurethral resection of the prostate-face significant limitations, including side effects, low adherence, and patient hesitancy toward invasive treatments. First-line interventional therapy (FIT) emerges as a novel paradigm bridging the gap between medications and surgery.
