Article Abstract
Superficial bladder cancer shows a high frequency of total or partial chromosome 9 losses. Loss of heterozygosity at position 9q22.3 is one of the most frequent and is associated with highly recurrent tumours. The PATCHED gene, ortholog of a gene first described in the drosophila as a segment polarity gene, is located at 9q22.3. It is a member of a signal transduction pathway and a tumour suppressor gene (TSG), involved in basal cell carcinoma. We propose PATCHED as a TSG candidate in superficial bladder cancer.

A 73-year-old male was admitted to our department with complaints of upper abdominal distension, accompanied by dull pain and belching for more than 10 days. Gastroscopy revealed a broad-based raised lesion, approximately 1.0 cm in diameter, on the anterior wall of the gastric body, with a central star-shaped depression, erosion, and surrounding congestion.

The Brazilian Amazon estuary is a highly dynamic environment, characterized by substantial organic matter input and a rich diversity of fish species that utilize this ecosystem for feeding and reproduction. Despite its ecological relevance, ichthyo-parasitological research in the region remains limited, particularly regarding the diversity of parasitic species within the class Myxozoa. Among the fish species for which parasitological data are still scarce is the Pacamã frogfish, Batrachoides surinamensis (Bloch and Schneider, 1801), a demersal species that feeds on small invertebrates and fish.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted healthcare systems globally, raising concerns about delayed cancer diagnosis and treatment. In France, transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) was prioritized in national urology guidelines to ensure the timely management of urothelial carcinoma. This study aimed to assess the impact of care reorganization on tumor staging, recurrence, palliative care, and mortality in bladder cancer patients from the pre-pandemic through late-pandemic periods.

Metastatic tumors of the bladder predominantly originate from malignant tumors of adjacent organs (prostate, uterus, ovaries); metastases from distant organs (lungs, breasts) are relatively rare. Cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasizing to the bladder are extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first pathologically confirmed case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis to the bladder in China.
