Introduction: Urethral recurrence after radical cystectomy in female patients with bladder cancer is relatively uncommon. Recurrent bladder tumors with neuroendocrine differentiation are extremely rare.
Case Presentation: A 71-year-old female patient who underwent radical cystectomy for bladder cancer presented with vaginal bleeding 19 months postoperatively. She was diagnosed with bladder cancer urethral recurrence. Urethral tumor en-bloc resection with the anterior vaginal wall was performed by combining abdominal and vaginal approaches. Pathological examination revealed a recurrent tumor of urothelial bladder cancer containing small-cell carcinoma components.
Conclusion: This case is the first report of a recurrent tumor with small-cell carcinoma in the female urethra after radical cystectomy for pure urothelial carcinoma.

YWHAG promotes bladder cancer metastasis by regulating TMOD3 to activate ERK1/2 and JNK phosphorylation in the MAPK pathway.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which YWHAG (Tyrosine 3-Monooxygenase/Tryptophan 5-Monooxygenase Activation Protein Gamma) promotes metastasis in bladder cancer. Specifically, it seeks to elucidate the role of YWHAG in driving cancer cell invasion and its potential as a prognostic marker for bladder cancer progression.
Methods: The expression pattern of YWHAG in both primary and metastatic bladder cancer tissues was analyzed using immunohistochemistry (IHC) to determine its correlation with clinical stage and prognosis in bladder cancer patients.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) alone or in combination with standard chemotherapy for advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) have been tested as first-line treatment in clinical trials. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) inhibitor alone or combined with chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic UC in a real world clinical care setting, and sought to identify prognostic factors for overall survival (OS).
Methods: A retrospective, real-world study involving 35 locally advanced or metastatic UC patients treated with PD-1 inhibitor alone or in combination with chemotherapy was conducted.
Loss of YTHDC1 mA reading function promotes invasiveness in urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.

Bladder cancer poses significant clinical challenges due to its high metastatic potential and poor prognosis, especially when it progresses to muscle-invasive stages. Here, we show that the mA reader YTHDC1 is downregulated in muscle-invasive bladder cancer and is negatively correlated with the expression of epithelial‒mesenchymal transition genes. The functional inhibition or depletion of YTHDC1 increased the migration and invasion of urothelial cells.

Background: The effect of anesthesia methods on non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) recurrence post-resection remains uncertain. We aimed to compare the oncological outcomes of spinal anesthesia (SA) and general anesthesia (GA) in patients with NMIBC.
Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial recruited 287 patients with clinical NMIBC at Seoul National University Hospital from 2018 to 2020.

Background/aim: Angiogenesis imaging has been a valuable complement to metabolic imaging with 2-deoxy-2-[F]fluoroglucose (FDG). In our longitudinal study, we investigated the tumour heterogeneity and the relationship between FDG and [Ga]Ga-NODAGA-c(RGDfK) (RGD) accumulation in breast cancer xenografts.
Materials And Methods: Two groups of cell lines, a fast-growing (4T1) and a slow-growing cell line (MDA-MB-HER2+), were inoculated into SCID mice.
