The gold standard for treating high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer involves the transurethral removal of cancerous tissue followed by BCG immunotherapy. So far, there is no reliable biomarker predicting efficacy and identifying patients who will or not respond to treatment. Emerging evidence suggests that urinary microbiota may play a crucial role in efficacy. This study aimed explore (i) changes during six induction cycles (ii) its potential predictive determining outcome To this...
Abstract Background This study aimed to present the characteristics and outcomes of benign urinary bladder masses, as well patients diagnosed with such lesions. Methods A single-center, cross-sectional, retrospective was conducted. The involved who underwent transurethral resection primary tumor over a four-year period (May 2017–2021) were subsequently lesion. Results Out 478 tumor, 26 (5.4%) most common lesion urothelial papilloma (50%, 13 patients). majority men (76.9%) had history smoking...
This study investigated the impact of initial clinical presentation bladder cancer on tumor characteristics. A cross-sectional, retrospective was performed, and it involved 515 patients who underwent transurethral resection at University Hospital Center Split between April 2019 2023, excluding recurrent cases. The association symptomatic versus asymptomatic characteristics analyzed. subgroup analysis compared with gross microscopic hematuria. Multiple regression analyses revealed a...
To examine the relationship between clinical patient characteristics and severity of disease course in patients hospitalized due to urinary bladder tamponade. The was assessed based on hemoglobin (Hgb) levels upon admission, requirement for red blood cell transfusion (RBCT), length hospital stay.
The aim of this article was to investigate the impact chronic antithrombotic therapy (AT) use on time detection bladder cancer, assuming that patients taking AT experience episodes macroscopic hematuria earlier, and therefore have a more favorable histopathological grade stage, as well smaller number size tumors compared not AT.A retrospective, cross-sectional study conducted, including 247 who underwent cancer surgery for first at our institution during three-year period (2019-2021)...
