: Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is one of the most underdiagnosed but, at the same time, one of the most lethal cancers. In this review article, we investigated the application of artificial intelligence and novel technologies in the prompt...
BACKGROUND: The Paris System (TPS) introduced standardized nuclear-to-cytoplasmic (N/C) ratio thresholds for urine cytology to improve high-grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC) detection, but these criteria remain subjective. This study used AIxURO, an ...
BACKGROUND: Avelumab first-line (1 L) maintenance is a standard of care for advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC) based on the JAVELIN Bladder 100 phase 3 trial, which showed that avelumab 1 L maintenance + best supportive care (BSC) significantly prol...

BACKGROUND: The ectopic pelvic kidney, a common renal anomaly, is often smaller and malformed, with a shorter and sometimes tortuous ureter (1). Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), constituting 15-25% of bladder cancer cases (2), mandates radical ...
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for more than 90% of cases of malignant kidney tumors and represents 2-3% of all malignancies worldwide. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common type of RCC, comprising 70-80% of cases. RCC most co...
BACKGROUND: Blood transfusions (BT) have been associated with adverse oncologic outcomes in multiple malignancies including open radical cystectomy (ORC) for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with int...
First proposed by Kimball and Ferris in 1933 for the treatment of papillary tumors in the upper urinary tract, radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) with bladder cuff excision remains the gold standard for management of high-risk upper tract urothelial ca...
