Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs11671784 is in the loop of pre-miR-27a and the G/A variation can significantly decrease mature miR-27a expression. This study explored the role of miR-27a in chemo-sensitivity of bladder cancer and how rs11671784 G/A variation affects the sensitivity. Blood and tumor samples from 89 bladder cancer cases were analyzed. In-vitro study was performed to explore the mechanism of chemo-sensitivity and the downstream target of miR-27a by using bladder cancer cell lines. This study identified a causative relationship between rs11671784 G/A variation, lowered miR-27a expression, increased RUNX-1 expression and following weakened chemo-sensitivity. rs11671784 G allele has significantly stronger effect over A allele in promoting chemo-sensitivity in bladder cancer. miR-27a mediates chemotherapy at least partially through reducing P-gp expression and increasing apoptosis. In addition, RUNX-1 is a novel direct target of miR-27a, which is involved in its regulation of chemo-sensitivity in bladder cancer.

Purposes: This study aimed to clarify the clinical outcomes of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment in patients with urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the prostatic urethra.

Methods: Between August 2003 and January 2023, 428 patients with non-muscle-invasive UC received BCG treatment (Tokyo strain, 80 mg, ≥ 5 times) in our hospital; 39 had UC of the prostatic urethra. We evaluated the cumulative incidence of intravesical recurrence, progression (muscle-invasive bladder cancer [MIBC] or metastasis), and subsequent radical cystectomy after BCG treatment in patients with UC of the prostatic urethra.

Identities of functional pSer/Thr.Pro protein substrates of the PIN1 prolyl isomerase and its effects on downstream signaling in bladder carcinogenesis remain largely unknown. Phenotypically, we found that PIN1 positively regulated bladder cancer cell proliferation, cell motility and urothelium clearance capacity in vitro and controlled tumor growth and potential metastasis in vivo.

Purpose: This study aims to compare treatment plans created using RapidPlan and PlanIQ for twelve patients with prostate cancer, focusing on dose uniformity, dose reduction to organs at risk (OARs), plan complexity, and dose verification accuracy. The goal is to identify the tool that demonstrates superior performance in achieving uniform target dose distribution and reducing OAR dose, while ensuring accurate dose verification.

Methods: Dose uniformity in the planning target volume, excluding the rectum, and dose reduction in the OARs (the rectum and bladder) were assessed.
