The immune landscape of bladder cancer progression is not fully understood, and effective therapies are lacking in advanced bladder cancer. Here, we visualized that bladder cancer cells recruited neutrophils by secreting interleukin-8 (IL-8); in turn, neutrophils played dual functions in bladder cancer, including hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) release and CCL3PD-L1 super-immunosuppressive subset formation. Mechanistically, c-Fos was identified as the mediator of HGF up-regulating IL-8 transcription in bladder cancer cells, which was central to the positive feedback of neutrophil recruitment. Clinically, compared with serum IL-8, urine IL-8 was a better biomarker for bladder cancer prognosis and clinical benefit of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Additionally, targeting neutrophils or hepatocyte growth factor receptor (MET) signaling combined with ICB inhibited bladder cancer progression and boosted the antitumor effect of CD8 T cells in mice. These findings reveal the mechanism by which tumor-neutrophil cross talk orchestrates the bladder cancer microenvironment and provide combination strategies, which may have broad impacts on patients suffering from malignancies enriched with neutrophils.

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.

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.

Background/aim: Immune checkpoint blockade has achieved great success as a targeted immunotherapy for solid cancers. However, small molecules that inhibit programmed death 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) binding are still being developed and have several advantages, such as high bioavailability. Previously, we reported a novel PD-1/PD-L1-inhibiting small compound, SCL-1, which showed potent antitumor effects on PD-L1 tumors.

Lag times for the diagnosis and treatment of urinary bladder cancer are generally longer which reduces the chances of achieving cures. This study was carried out at the Urology Department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka and a Urology Center in a private hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2007 to June 2008 on patients of newly diagnosed muscle invasive bladder carcinoma. This study was intended to assess the delay encountered by the patients and its consequences in the process of diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer.
