Although it is specific for prostatic tissue, serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening has resulted in an over-diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) and many unnecessary biopsies benign disease due to a well-documented low specificity, thus improvement required. We profiled the expression level miRNAs contained semen exosomes from men with moderately increased PSA levels assess their usefulness, either alone or addition marker, as non-invasive biomarkers, early efficient diagnosis...
Abstract Purpose: The combination of radiation and immunotherapy potentiated antitumor activity in preclinical models. purpose this study is to explore the feasibility, safety, efficacy a bladder-preserving approach, including dual immune checkpoint blockade radiotherapy, patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Patients Methods: localized MIBC underwent transurethral resection, followed by durvalumab (1,500 mg) plus tremelimumab (75 every 4 weeks for three doses concurrent...

Objective To compare functional and surgical outcomes of robot‐assisted ileal ureter replacement (RAIUR) vs kidney autotransplantation (RAKAT). Patients Methods This was a retrospective analysis patients who underwent RAIUR or RAKAT for long ureteric strictures at eight European tertiary centres (2017–2024). Primary endpoints were maintenance estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) postoperative complications within 30 days surgery, described using the Clavien–Dindo classification....
