Abstract Genomic alterations in tumors play a pivotal role determining their clinical trajectory and responsiveness to treatment. Targeted panel sequencing (TPS) has served as key tool over the past decade, but advancements costs bioinformatics have now made whole-genome (WGS) feasible single-assay approach for almost all cancer genomes settings. This paper reports on findings of prospective, single-center study exploring real-world utility WGS (tumor matched normal tissues) two primary...
Ureteral stent removal using an extraction string is advantageous because it can obviate invasive cystoscopy, but there a paucity of data on how patients feel about it, and bothersome or beneficial is. We performed this study to evaluate patients' preference for which parameters could affect it.In total, 114 consecutive undergoing ureteral insertion after ureteroscopic stone (URS) unilateral recurrent ureter stones were enrolled. Patients randomized group no group. Stent was the first visit...
The objective of this study is to investigate alteration autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity in patients suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED) by comparing parameters heart rate variability (HRV) between men with ED and healthy subjects.A retrospective review was performed on 40 (mean age, 46.0±8.49 years) without any disease 180 control people 44.4±7.83 our institution June 2008 July 2010. And electrocardiographic signals were obtained measure HRV for both controls a resting...
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urge (UUI) have different mechanisms of action. We believe that alteration autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity may contribute to UUI because the lower tract is regulated through sympathetic parasympathetic systems. Heart rate variability (HRV) allows measurement function, therefore we measured compared HRV parameters in women with incontinence.From March 2008 2010, evaluated all patients who visited 2 university hospitals for treatment incontinence....
Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic significance of depth lamina propria invasion in primary T1 transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) bladder.Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records 183 patients with TCC bladder who had undergone transurethral resection (TUR) at our institution.Substaging was defined according to as follows: T1a, superficial propria; T1b, into muscularis mucosa (MM); T1c, beyond MM but not propria.The various clinicopathological variables for...
The aim of this study was to investigate the association preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) elevation and thrombocytosis with prognosis patients non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).This a retrospective review medical records 177 (130 men 47 women) RCC who underwent radical nephrectomy between March 2000 May 2008 for whom CRP platelet data were available analysis. Preoperative compared clinical pathological variables.There 38 11 thrombocytosis. mean follow-up time 48.3 months...
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) as a prognostic factor in patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma (RCC).Materials and methods Between June 1994 July 2012, 469 RCC underwent radical or partial nephrectomy at two hospitals. Among these patients, 65 non-clear type histology 16 lymph-node distant metastasis were excluded. medical records remaining 388 retrospectively reviewed. mGPS calculated using selective...
Purpose: To evaluate the influence of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics following maximal androgen blockade (MAB) on disease progression and cancer-specific survival in patients with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.Materials Methods: One hundred thirty-one cancer treated MAB at our institution were included this study.Patients' characteristics, PSA initiation, nadir, time to nadir (TTN), decline analyzed by using univariate multivariate analysis.Results: At a median...
To identify predictive factors for developing subsequent bladder urothelial carcinoma (UC) in patients undergoing radical nephroureterectomy the treatment of upper urinary tract UC (UUT-UC).We retrospectively reviewed medical records 78 with clinically localized UUT-UC who had undergone operation at our institution between June 1994 and December 2009. Univariate multivariate analyses were carried out to determine factors.Out a total patients, 14 (17.9%) developed after median interval 10...
The aim of this study was to investigate the changing pattern in use intravenous pyelogram (IVP), conventional computed tomography (CT), and non-contrast-enhanced (NECT) for evaluation patients with acute flank pain.We retrospectively reviewed medical records 2,180 pain who had visited Bundang Jesaeng General Hospital between January 2008 December 2012 analyzed IVP, CT, NECT these patients.During period there a significant increase (p<0.001) decrease IVP (p<0.001). Conventional CT also...
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and p53 expression with prognosis in patients conventional renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections RCC from 92 patients, who had undergone radical nephrectomy, were examined for COX-2 by immunohistochemistry compared clinicopathological variables. significantly correlated only tumor size (p=0.049), whereas profoundly TNM stage (p=0.024), M (p=0.001), metastasis (synchronous...

Abstract Background Many people struggle with the choice in a series of processes, from prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis to treatment. We investigated degree regret after biopsy (PBx) and relevant factors patients recommended for suspected PCa. Methods From 06/2020 05/2022, 198 who performed PBx at three institutions were enrolled analyzed through questionnaire before biopsy. Before biopsy, was conducted evaluate sociodemographic information, anxiety scale, health literacy, PBx, another...
Purpose:The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic factors for survival in patients treated surgically transitional cell carcinoma upper urinary tract (UUT-TCC). Materials and Methods:We retrospectively reviewed medical records 87 (64 men 23 women, mean age 62.2 years) with UUT-TCC who had undergone radical nephroureterectomy at our institution between June 1994 2009.The median follow-up period 32 months.The significance various clinicopathological variables recurrence-free...
This study aimed to investigate the relationship of caveolin-1 expression with prognosis in patients transitional cell carcinoma upper urinary tract (TCCUUT). Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections TCC-UUT from 98 patients, who had undergone radical nephroureterectomy, were stained immunohistochemically using antibodies against caveolin-1. The pattern caveolin- 1 was compared clinicopathological variables. significantly correlated T stage (p<0.001) and grade (p=0.036). survival...
Purpose In this study, we examined the difference in treatment efficacy depending on sympathetic activity men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Methods current single-center, retrospective evaluated a total of 66 male patients aged 40-70 years age, presenting LUTS, whose International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) exceeded 8 points. They had past 3-month history taking alfuzosin XL, and their heart rate variability (HRV) was measured before after treatment. addition, also recruited...
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the value a preoperative Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) for predicting survival patients with nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treated partial or radical nephrectomy. Materials and Methods: medical records 480 RCC who underwent nephrectomy at 2 institutions between June 1994 July 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. After exclusion 21 lymph node distant metastasis, data 459 included. PNI calculated using combination serum...
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a tool used to measure autonomic nervous function; however, there no evidence that it can be define sympathetic hyperactivity in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). We suspected LUTS would differ between hyperactive and hypoactive patients. Therefore, we measured HRV divided the patients into two groups, group according low frequency/high frequency (LF/HF) ratio made clinical comparisons groups.A total of 43 symptomatic (International Prostate...
