Background: The aim of the present study was to identify the contrast patterns of a tumor, and to evaluate the possibility of assessing the invasion of the perivesical fatty tissue in bladder cancer.
Material/methods: In this study, 26 patients with bladder cancer were included. Multiphasic CT examination was performed to determine the stage of the disease before radical cystectomy.
Results: There were statistically significant differences in tumor and perivesical fatty tissue densities between pre- and post-contrast phases (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Increases in focal density suspected of being invasion of the perivesical fatty tissue can show perivesical invasion with high specificity.

: 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.

Exploration of molecular markers is an ongoing focus in the field of bladder cancer research. Based on data from public databases, was identified as upregulated in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA); however, its exact function and regulatory mechanism in this context remain unclear. To investigate the clinical implications of , we examined its levels in 90 BLCA and adjoining normal tissue samples.

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.

Introduction: Approximately 75% of bladder cancer cases are non-muscle invasive at diagnosis. Drug development for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has historically lagged behind that of other malignancies. No treatment has demonstrated the ability to overcome drug resistance that ultimately leads to recurrence and progression.
