Introduction: Ovarian cancer has a high mortality rate due to late diagnosis, relapse and chemoresistance. miRNAs play a major role in tumorigenesis as well as chemoresistance. Hence, we undertook a study, to evaluate the differential expression of miRNAs in clinical specimens of ovarian cancer patients that may highlight the effect of chemotherapy and their role in predicting survival outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate the role of Rescue BCG in the treatment of BCG-unresponsive nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), in order to inform clinical decision-making especially when access to alternative therapies is limited.

Methods: From an institutional database, patients who met the criteria of BCG-unresponsive NMIBC between 2002 and 2023 were identified and sorted into 2 cohorts: those who received additional BCG therapy immediately after BCG-unresponsive designation and those who received alternative treatments such as intravesical chemotherapy and radical cystectomy. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).

Introduction: The effect of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on adverse in-hospital outcomes after radical prostatectomy (RP) for nonmetastatic prostate cancer (PCa) is not well known.

Materials And Methods: Descriptive analyses, propensity score matching and multivariable logistic regression models were used within the National Inpatient Sample (2000-2019) RP patients, after stratification according to Crohn's disease (CD) vs. ulcerative colitis (UC) vs.

Background: Select patients with metastatic clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma can be treated without systemic therapy, yet few studies have explored this population. We investigated the efficacy of metastasis-directed therapy without systemic therapy in oligometastatic clear-cell renal-cell carincoma.

Methods: This investigator-initiated single-arm, phase 2 trial enrolled patients aged 18 years or older with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, histologically confirmed clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma, and one to five metastases.

Purpose: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has transformed outcomes for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and has impacted the timing and use of cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN). As ICB responses vary, we evaluated whether radiographic and radiomic biomarkers were associated with clinical and pathological outcomes.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included ICB-treated mRCC patients without upfront CN.
