Between 13.8% and 27% of all superficial bladder cancers are represented by pT1G3 neoplasm. In the Department of Urology of Policlinico S. Marco-Zingonia, between February 1988 and June 1994, we treated 22 patients suffering for pT1G3 bladder tumor. TUR-B has demonstrated to be a good approach for treatment of superficial bladder cancer, with low morbility; on the opposite side, we have to underline the high rate of recurrence and of progression of the urothelium disease. Now a day our best approach for the treatment of pT1G3 bladder tumor is represented by radical cystectomy supplied by chemotherapy.

Aim: To evaluate the role of preoperative neutrophils to lymphocytes ratio (NLR) as a predictor for the response to BCG in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).

Materials: Nighty six patients with NMIBC were prospectively included in our study. Our study population was classified into two groups, based on pre-operative (NLR) either ⩽ or > 3.

Article Synopsis
  • * Imaging tests revealed a significant mass in the left bladder and a nonfunctional right kidney, leading to surgical removal of both the kidney and part of the bladder.
  • * The final diagnosis was a bladder glomus tumor, and the patient remains healthy with no signs of recurrence after 15 months, underscoring the need for urologists to consider glomus tumors in their diagnostic process.

Lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) increases with aging. Ensuing symptoms including incontinence greatly impact quality of life, isolation, depression, and nursing home admission. The aging bladder is hypothesized to be central to this decline, however, it remains difficult to pinpoint a singular strong driver of aging-related bladder dysfunction.

IFRD1 is required for maintenance of bladder epithelial homeostasis.

The maintenance of homeostasis and rapid regeneration of the urothelium following stress are critical for bladder function. Here, we identify a key role for IFRD1 in maintaining urothelial homeostasis in a mouse model. We demonstrate that the murine bladder expresses IFRD1 at homeostasis, particularly in the urothelium, and its loss alters the global transcriptome with significant accumulation of endolysosomes and dysregulated uroplakin expression pattern.
