Ureteric carcinoma is the rarest of all urothelial malignancies, and little attention has been given to it. Palliation in these groups of patients is a dilemma in the clinics. Use of chemotherapeutic ...

The escalating prevalence of bladder cancer, particularly urothelial carcinoma, necessitates innovative approaches for prognosis and therapy. This study delves into the significance of genes related t...
The South West Oncology Group's 2000 randomised-control trial investigated the addition of maintenance intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) to non-muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma (NMIUC) t...
A growing number of investigations have suggested a close link between cancer stem cells (CSCs), epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, the relation...
We first explored biomarkers of tumor stemness (TS) by single-cell sequencing analysis. Then, subtypes of bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) were identified using clustering analysis based on TS biom...
Three TS clusters and two TS-related gene clusters were identified with differential EMT activity status, CSC features, and TME characteristics in BLCA. Then, a TS scoring system was established with ...
Overall, this research provides a better understanding of tumor invasion and metastasis mechanisms through an analysis of TS patterns with different EMT processes and CSC characteristics. The TS score...
Transitional cell carcinoma is considered the most predominant type of bladder cancer. Bladder can cer can also be found as squamous cell carcinoma that accounts for 5% of the total bladder cancer due...
Using 150 archival tissue blocks from human bladder cancer cases to detect expression of SNAIL/SLUG and Twist2 in relation to loss of E-cadherin by immunohistochemical method....
Our results have revealed that in squamous cell carcinoma 40 specimens showed marked Twist 2 expression, and 30 specimens showed marked snail/slug biomarkers expression while poorly differentiated can...
Detection of SNAIL/SLUG and Twist 2 biomarkers in urothelial cancer is an important predictor for the loss of E-cadherin, a cornerstone in urinary bladder cell adhesion and its loss in urothelial carc...
At present, there are few studies on renal pelvic transitional cell carcinoma (RPTCC) in elderly patients in the literature. The study aims to establish a new nomogram of cancer-specific survival (CSS...
This study downloaded the data of 1375 elderly patients with T1-T3N0M0 RPTCC in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Final Results (SEER) database from 2004 to 2018. Patients were randomly divided into...
We found that the risk factors affecting CSS in elderly patients with T1-T3N0M0 RPTCC are surgery, AJCC stage, laterality, tumor size, histological grade, and tumour laterality. Based on these factors...
In this study, the SEER database was used for the first time to create and validate a new nomogram prediction model for elderly patients with T1-T3N0M0 RPTCC. Compared with the traditional AJCC stage ...
Cisplatin (CDDP)-based chemotherapy is the standard of care in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. However, in a large number of cases, the disease becomes resistant or does not respond to C...
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and aberrant energy metabolism are pivotal biological processes in tumor progression, significantly impacting tumor prognosis. However, the relationship between...
Bladder cancer samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas were categorized into two groups via clustering analysis to elucidate disparities in expression, prognostic significance, and immune infiltration of...
Cluster analysis revealed significant differences in the expression of genes associated with EMT and energy metabolism between the two groups. Group 2 exhibited significantly improved overall survival...
EMT and energy metabolism exert pivotal influences on the immune microenvironment in BLCA. CSPG4 holds promise as a prognostic biomarker for patients with BLCA, offering valuable insights into potenti...
Nivolumab is used after platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Studies suggest improved outcomes for dual checkpoint inhibition with high ipilimumab doses. We ai...
TITAN-TCC is a multicentre, single-arm, phase 2 trial done at 19 hospitals and cancer centres in Germany and Austria. Adults aged 18 years or older with histologically confirmed metastatic or surgical...
Between April 8, 2019, and Feb 15, 2021, 83 patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma were enrolled and all received nivolumab induction treatment (intention-to-treat population). The median age o...
Treatment with nivolumab and nivolumab plus ipilimumab boosts in early non-responders and patients who progress late significantly improved objective response rate after previous platinum-based chemot...

Urothelial carcinoma is a major subtype of bladder cancer and small cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare type of cancer in clinical practice. Pathologic collision of urinary bladder urothelial carcinoma wit...
Here, we report a patient with high-grade papillary carcinoma which changed to collision tumor with SCC. The patient underwent radical cystectomy; however, neck and mediastinum lymph nodes metastases ...
We hypothesized the mechanism underlying this pathological transformation. For patients with urothelial bladder cancer, pathological analysis should be conducted to allow standardized and persistent t...
We recommend that radical cystectomy be performed early enough for patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, who are at a high risk of tumor recurrence. However, this conclusion needs to be va...
