Urinary tumors primarily consist of kidney, urothelial, and prostate malignancies, which pose significant treatment challenges, particularly in advanced stages. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic approach, combining monoclonal antibody specificity with cytotoxic chemotherapeutic payloads. This review highlights recent advancements, opportunities, and challenges in ADC application for urinary tumors. We discuss the FDA-approved ADCs and other novel ADCs under investigation, emphasizing their potential to improve patient outcomes. Furthermore, we explore strategies to address challenges, such as toxicity management, predictive biomarker identification, and resistance mechanisms. Additionally, we examine the integration of ADCs with other treatment modalities, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapies, and radiation therapy. By addressing these challenges and exploring innovative approaches, the development of ADCs may significantly enhance therapeutic options and outcomes for patients with advanced urinary tumor.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the risk factors for catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) following radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer (CC). Furthermore, the study seeks to develop a visual model that can effectively assist physicians in improving their proficiency in diagnosing, treating, and preventing CAUTIs.
Patients And Methods: 48 subjects who developed CAUTI postoperatively were assigned to the infection group.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy by enhancing the antitumor immune response. This case describes an 80-year-old male with synchronous multiple primary malignancies (MPMs), including lung metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), and brain metastatic urothelial carcinoma, who was treated with dual ICI therapy.
Case Presentation: The patient, with a history of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, well-differentiated neuroendocrine duodenal tumors and micronodular exogenous cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class A), presented with a non-invasive bladder carcinoma (pT1N0M0) resected endoscopically in December 2022.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are classified as small, non-coding RNAs that play crucial roles in diverse biological processes, including cellular development, differentiation, growth, and metabolism. MiRNAs regulate gene expression by recognizing complementary sequences within messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules. Recent studies have revealed that miR-145-5p functions as a tumor suppressor in several cancers, including lung, liver, and breast cancers.
