The prevalence of urological malignancies continues to pose a significant global health challenge, particularly due to the poor prognosis associated with advanced stages of these diseases. Consequently, there is an urgent need to deepen our understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing the development of urological malignancies to facilitate breakthroughs in diagnosis and treatment. Pyroptosis, a novel and specific form of programmed cell death, plays a crucial role in regulating inflammatory responses, cell development, tissue homeostasis, and stress responses. Recent research has revealed a close association between pyroptosis and urological malignancies. In this paper, we review the pathogenesis and recent advancements in the understanding of pyroptosis in urological malignancies, elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in its regulation, and aim to provide new directions for the clinical management of these diseases.

Purpose: To evaluate a generative artificial intelligence (GAI) framework for creating readable lay abstracts and summaries (LASs) of urologic oncology research, while maintaining accuracy, completeness, and clarity, for the purpose of assessing their comprehension and perception among patients and caregivers.
Methods: Forty original abstracts (OAs) on prostate, bladder, kidney, and testis cancers from leading journals were selected. LASs were generated using a free GAI tool, with three versions per abstract for consistency.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the impact of day- and night-time pad wetness on 2yrs-QoL after Radical Cystectomy (RC) with Orthotopic Neobladder (ON) from a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) aimed at comparing open RC (ORC) and Robot-Assisted RC (RARC) with intracorporeal (i) ON.
Methods: Between January 2018 and September 2020, 116 patients were enrolled. Data from self-assessed questionnaires (EORTC-QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BLM30) were collected.

Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a type of cell death sparking adaptive immune responses that can reshape the tumor microenvironment. Exploring key ICD-related genes in bladder cancer (BLCA) could enhance personalized treatment. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) BLCA patients were divided into two ICD subtypes: ICD-high and ICD-low.

Gliomas are the most common primary malignant tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), and despite progress in molecular diagnostics and targeted therapies, their prognosis remains poor. In recent years, immunotherapy has emerged as a promising treatment modality in cancer therapy. However, the inevitable immune evasion by tumor cells is a key barrier affecting therapeutic efficacy.

Introduction: Radiotherapy (RT) is an integral component of various multidisciplinary treatment approaches for pelvic malignancies, used both in the radical and adjuvant setting. Despite the improvement of radiotherapy modalities, pelvic radiotherapy often induces permanent erectile dysfunction (ED). However, post-treatment ED receives little medical attention, since patient follow-up focuses mainly on cancer recurrence surveillance.
