Tolerance of the human kidney to ischemia is controversial. Here, we prospectively studied renal response clamp and reperfusion in humans, including changes putative biomarkers AKI. We performed biopsies before, during, after surgically induced 40 patients undergoing partial nephrectomy. Ischemia duration was >30 minutes 82.5% patients. There a mild, transient increase serum creatinine, but cystatin C remained stable. Renal functional did not correlate with duration. structural were much...

The RAZOR (Randomized Open versus Robotic Cystectomy) trial revealed noninferior 2-year progression-free survival for robotic radical cystectomy. This update was performed with extended followup 3 years to determine potential differences between the approaches. We also report 3-year overall and sought identify factors predicting recurrence, survival.We analyzed per protocol population of 302 patients from study. Cumulative recurrence estimated using nonbladder cancer death as competing risk...
To compare health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) outcomes for robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RARC) with those of traditional open (ORC) in a prospective randomised fashion.This was clinical trial evaluating the HRQoL ORC vs RARC consecutive patients from July 2009 to June 2011. We administered Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-Vanderbilt Cystectomy Index questionnaire, validated assess HRQoL, preoperatively and then at 3, 6, 9 12 months postoperatively. Scores each...
We applied nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer AUA (American Urological Association)/SUO (Society of Urologic Oncology) guidelines for risk stratification and analyzed predictors recurrence progression.We retrospectively reviewed the records 398 patients with treated between 2001 2017. Descriptive statistics were used to compare AUA/SUO groups. Predictors progression determined by multivariable regression. Kaplan-Meier analysis was done, a Cox proportional hazards regression model created time...
Abstract Purpose Despite the growing adoption of HIFU treatment for localized prostate cancer (PC), standardized criteria evaluating success and predicting recurrence remain undefined. Herein, we analyze predictive value noninvasive tools such as PSA dynamics MRI to determine recurrence. Methods We identified from our therapy prospective registry patients who developed biopsy-proven recurrence, between 2016 2023. Clinically significant (CS-R) was defined presence GG 2 or greater on control...
We present a contemporary review of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in whom vein/inferior vena caval thrombus was treated radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy.A total 220 underwent for RCC at our institution from 1998 to 2002. Of them 49 involvement (T3b/c) were selected review. evaluated demographics, presenting symptoms, imaging modalities, clinical staging, pathological features, adjuvant treatment outcomes. also surgical incisions, liver mobilization procedures, blood loss,...

To compare the predictive performance and potential clinical usefulness of risk calculators European Randomized Study Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC RC) with without information on prostate volume.We studied 6 cohorts (5 1 US) a total 15,300 men, all biopsied pre-biopsy TRUS measurements volume. Volume was categorized into 3 categories (25, 40, 60 cc), to reflect use digital rectal examination (DRE) volume assessment. Risks cancer were calculated according ERSPC DRE-based RC (including...
Background Inflammatory cytokines are detected in the plasma of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and associated poor prognosis. However, primary type involved producing inflammatory biological significance RCC remain unknown. Inflammation is oxidative stress, upregulation hypoxia inducible factor 1-alpha, production pro-inflammatory gene products. Solid tumors often heterogeneous oxygen tension together suggesting that may play a role processes RCC. Epithelial cells have been...
The relationship between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and prostate cancer risk remains subject to fundamental disagreements. We hypothesized that the of on biopsy for a given PSA is affected by identifiable characteristics cohort under study.We used data from five European three U.S. cohorts men undergoing cancer; six were population-based studies two clinical cohorts. association was calculated separately each using locally weighted scatterplot smoothing.The final set included...
Metastatic renal cancer manifests multiple signatures of gene expression. Deviation in expression mature miRNAs has been linked to human cancers. Importance miR-21 cell carcinomas is proposed from profiling studies using tumor tissue samples. However, the role function causing proliferation and invasion not yet shown. Using cultured carcinoma cells, we demonstrate enhanced along with pre-and pri-miR-21 by increased transcription compared normal proximal tubular epithelial cells....
