The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a crucial role in cancer progression and recent evidence has clarified its clinical significance in predicting outcomes and efficacy. However, there are no studies on the systematic analysis of TME characteristi...
BACKGROUND: Radiation therapy (RT) for prostate cancer (PCa) treatment is burdened by high rates of late urinary adverse events (UAEs). The feasibility of robot-assisted cystectomy (RAC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) for treatment of h...
The surgical techniques and devices used to perform radical cystectomy have evolved significantly with the advent of laparoscopic and robotic methods. The da Vinci Single-Port (SP) platform (Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) is an innovation ...
BACKGROUND: Radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) represents the standard of care for high grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Open and laparoscopic approaches are well-established treatments, but evidence regarding robotic RNU is growing. The ...

Robot-assisted radical cystectomy has steadily gained wider acceptance among urologists compared with open and laparoscopic approaches. Robot-assisted radical cystectomy has shown comparable perioperative and oncologic outcomes compared with open rad...
OBJECTIVE: To construct a deep-learning convolution neural network (DL-CNN) system for the differentiation of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) and non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images in...
The aim of the present study was to compare the perioperative outcomes of extracorporeal (EXTRA) intracorporeal (INTRA) urinary diversion in patients undergoing robotic cystectomy and ileal conduit for neurogenic bladder. All consecutive patients ...
