Case Report: Echinocandin-Resistance Mutants From Patient Following Radical Cystoprostatectomy Due to Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer.

Invasive infections are not common complications after radical cystoprostatectomy. Furthermore, resistance to echinocandins arising during the course of a patient's treatment is rarely recognised. We described a case of development of echinocandin resistance in a patient with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (pT2b N0 M0, high grade) diagnosis, subjected to radical cystoprostatectomy and exposed to echinocandins.

Clinical and Molecular Findings of Infections Caused by Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing in Patients with Solid Tumors: A Single-Center Study.

Infectious complications caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria are a serious clinical and therapeutic problem. Our study aimed to analyze the genetic characteristics of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing (ESBL-E) that cause multidrug-resistant infections in patients with solid tumors. Identification of ESBL-encoding genes was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing.

Clinical relevance of a degree of extracapsular extension in a sentinel lymph node in breast cancer patients: a single-centre study.

In some breast cancer (BC) patients, an examination of lymph nodes dissected during sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) demonstrates a presence of metastatic lesions and extracapsular extension (ECE) in a SLN. This study aimed to evaluate clinical relevance of ECE in BC patients. This is a retrospective analysis of 891 patients with cancer metastases to SLN, referred to supplementary axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), hospitalized between Jan 2007 and Dec 2017.
