Glycolysis is a vital metabolic biological process in tumor progression and immune modulation. This study comprehensively investigated the roles of glycolysis in pan-cancer, especially in bladder cancer. Exploration of 34 single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) cohorts, eight ICI-treated bulk RNA-seq cohorts, and TCGA bulk pan-cancer RNA-seq cohorts uncovered a Glycolysis.Sig which strongly correlated with immunotherapy response and demonstrated excellent predictive performance in prognosis and immune response. Hub-Glycolysis.Sig exhibited varying interactions with the immune microenvironment based on cancer type. In bladder cancer, higher glycolysis risk scores correlated with poorer prognosis, with distinct immune infiltration characteristics between subtypes. scRNA-seq revealed high glycolysis levels in bladder epithelial cells. COPB2 was highly expressed in bladder cancer, promoting cell proliferation, migration, and glycolytic activity in vitro and in vivo. Our large-scale data analysis confirmed the negative correlation between glycolysis and immunotherapy outcomes, identifying Glycolysis.Sig as a novel predictive biomarker. Hub-Glycolysis.Sig provides clinical insights for bladder cancer therapy strategies, while COPB2 and other potential therapeutic targets facilitate personalized cancer treatment.

To evaluate the effect of cystopexy on continence recovery after anterior-approach transperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RaRP). We retrospectively analyzed continence recovery of patients with prostate cancer receiving RaRP in a transperitoneal anterior-approach manner with or without cystopexy. Continence recovery is defined as complete intact continence without safety pad utility.

Introduction: Transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) is a common urological procedure, typically performed in an inpatient setting. This study aims to investigate safety, quality, and patient satisfaction aspects of TURB in an outpatient setting, reflecting the emerging strategy of outpatientization of surgical procedures in the German healthcare system.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 100 patients who underwent outpatient TURB.

Purpose Of Review: This review examines the existing literature on metabolic pathways associated with bladder cancer (BC) and investigates four domains: (1) diagnoses, (2) cancer classification (staging & grading), (3) tracking, and (4) treatment.
Recent Findings: A systematic search of relevant databases identified studies meeting predefined inclusion criteria. A diverse array of metabolic pathways was found to hold significant biological and clinical relevance to BC, with particular emphasis on amino acid (AA), lipid, nucleic acid (NA), and bioenergetic pathways.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate outcomes and complications in dogs with urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the bladder trigone treated with total cystectomy using uretero-prepuce/vagina/cutaneous anastomosis combined with medical treatment.
Animals: Twenty-one dogs.
Procedure: Total cystectomy was completed as follows: The whole bladder and urethra were removed, and the ureters were anastomosed to the skin in 1 case and to the vagina in 9 cases in females.

Objectives: Cancer has been reported as a potential trigger for IgA vasculitis (IgAV) in adults; however, data on this topic are scarce. The aim of our study was to examine the frequency and location of cancer in adults with IgAV.
Methods: We included 295 IgAV patients diagnosed between January 2010 and June 2021 and followed at our secondary/tertiary rheumatology centre.
