DNA repair defects are important factors in cancer development. High DNA repair activity can affect cancer progression and chemoresistance. DNA double-strand breaks in cancer cells caused by anticancer agents can be restored by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination repair (HRR). Our previous study has identified E2F1 as a key gene in bladder cancer progression. In this study, DNA repair genes related to E2F1 were analyzed, and RAD54L involved in HRR was identified. In gene expression analysis of bladder cancer patients, the survival of patients with high RAD54L expression was shorter with cancer progression than in patients with low RAD54L expression. This study also revealed that E2F1 directly binds to the promoter region of RAD54L and regulates the transcription of RAD54L related to the HRR pathway. This study also confirmed that DNA breaks are repaired by RAD54L induced by E2F1 in bladder cancer cells treated with MMC. In summary, RAD54L was identified as a new target directly regulated by E2F1. Our results suggest that, E2F1 and RAD54L could be used as diagnostic markers for bladder cancer progression and represent potential therapeutic targets.

flavones (PRFs), bioactive components derived from the plant, exhibit anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties. However, their therapeutic potential for bladder cancer remains poorly understood. The present study aimed to investigate the anti-tumor effects and molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of PRF on human bladder cancer T24 cells.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of an optimized online adaptive radiation therapy workflow on physician involvement.
Methods And Materials: Data from a prospective phase 2 trial involving 34 prostate cancer patients treated with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-based online adaptive radiation therapy (62 Gy in 20 fractions) were analyzed. Manual interventions were required for 2 steps in the workflow: radiation therapy technologist review and adjustment of automatically segmented organs, guiding target segmentation, so-called "influencer," while physicians reviewed and refined the targets.

Objective: Many studies have stressed the necessity of repeat transurethral resection (reTURB) following the initial conventional transurethral resection of the bladder for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients. However, there have been few studies focusing on the role of reTURB after en bloc resection of bladder tumor (ERBT) for NMIBC by far. This study aimed to evaluate whether reTURB can be avoided after ERBT.

Purpose: This study aims to assess percentage of automated AIO plans that met clinical treatment standards of radiotherapy plans generated by the fully automated All-in-one (AIO) process.
Methods: The study involved 117 rectal cancer patients who underwent AIO treatment. Fully automated regions of interest (ROI) and treatment plans were developed without manual intervention, comparing them to manually generated plans used in clinical practice.

Background: Predicting the recurrence risk of NMIBC after TURBT is crucial for individualized clinical treatment.
Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the ability of radiomic feature analysis of intratumoral and peritumoral regions based on computed tomography (CT) imaging to predict recurrence in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).
Methods: A total of 233 patients with NMIBC who underwent TURBT were retrospectively analyzed.
