Cancer stem cells (CSCs), also known as tumor-initiating cells (TICs), are a subset of tumor cells that persist within tumors as a distinct population. They drive tumor initiation, relapse, and metastasis through self-renewal and differentiation into...

BACKGROUND: Intra-tumour heterogeneity (ITH) causes diagnostic challenges and increases the risk for disease recurrence. Quantification of ITH is challenging and has not been demonstrated in large studies. It has previously been shown that deep learn...

Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) loss is associated with adverse outcomes in prostate cancer and can be measured via immunohistochemistry. The purpose of the study was to establish the clinical application of an in-house developed artificial int...
BACKGROUND: Recent advances in digital pathology have enabled accurate and standardised enumeration of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Here, we aim to evaluate TILs as a percentage electronic TIL score (eTILs) and investigate its prognostic a...
PURPOSE: To test the role of endogenous total testosterone (ETT) as a predictor of prostate cancer (PCa) progression in patients treated with robot assisted radical prostatectomy for clinically localized disease.
OBJECTIVES: To report a single centre's experience of the feasibility, safety and patient acceptability of same-day discharge robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP).

Differential classification of prostate cancer grade group (GG) 2 and 3 tumors remains challenging, likely because of the subjective quantification of the percentage of Gleason pattern 4 (%GP4). Artificial intelligence assessment of %GP4 may improve ...
INTRODUCTION: Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been launched in the last decade to examine the surgical safety and oncological efficacy of robot-assisted (RARC) vs open radical cystectomy (ORC) for patients with bladder cancer. The ai...
