Introduction: We evaluated the prognostic potential of the Beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), Cancer Antigen 125 (CA125), and Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) tumor markers for bladder cancer.
Methods: We analyzed the records of 369 patients who underwent radical cystectomy for urothelial cancer (UC) between October 2012 until December 2019. Levels of CA19-9, CA125, CEA, and β-hCG before radical cystectomy were measured in all patient samples, and serum biomarker cutoff values were used as normal and elevated values.

We examined the efficacy and adverse effects of low-dose intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Patients who underwent intravesical BCG therapy (n=176 ; 198 courses) at our hospital between April 2012 and December 2022 were enrolled. After assigning patients to either the low-dose or regular-dose (40 or 80 mg of BCG Tokyo 172 strain) groups, treatment efficacy and incidence of adverse events were compared.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1/PD-L1 are gradually being applied in the treatment of advanced urinary system tumors. Immunohistochemical analysis of PD-L1 expression is the most popular method for screening suitable patients for immunotherapy and predicting therapeutic efficacy. The current application status of PD-L1 detection for urinary system tumors (mainly urothelial carcinoma), methods of the different antibody tests and the precautions, challenges and solutions in the interpretation of immunostaining were summarized in this review.
