Bladder cancer has recently seen an alarming increase in global diagnoses, ascending as a predominant cause of cancer-related mortalities. Given this pressing scenario, there is a burgeoning need to identify effective biomarkers for both the diagnosi...
PURPOSE: To investigate the influence of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) on bladder MRI, specifically examination time, image quality, and diagnostic performance of vesical imaging reporting and data system (VI-RADS) within a prospective clinical ...
Bladder cancer (BC) is the ninth most-common cancer worldwide and it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Mitochondrial Dysfunction is involved in the progression of BC. This study aimed to developed a novel diagnostic model based on mito...
INTRODUCTION: Digitizing cytology slides presents challenges because of their three-dimensional features and uneven cell distribution. While multi-Z-plane scan is a prevalent solution, its adoption in clinical digital cytopathology is hindered by pro...
The diagnostic accuracy of cystoscopy varies according to the knowledge and experience of the performing physician. In this study, we evaluated the difference in cystoscopic gaze location patterns between medical students and urologists and assessed...
Urinary cytology using the Paris system is still the method of choice for screening high-grade urothelial carcinomas. However, the use of the objective criteria described in this terminology shows a lack of inter- and intra-observer reproducibility. ...

Assessing programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression on tumor cells (TCs) using Food and Drug Administration-approved, validated immunoassays can guide the use of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy in cancer treatment. However, substantial i...
AIMS: Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) have shown promising clinical outcomes in urothelial carcinoma (UC). The combined positive score (CPS) quantifies PD-L1 22C3 expression in UC, but it can vary between path...

BACKGROUND: The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) has recently emerged as hotspot in targeted therapy for urothelial bladder cancer (UBC). The HER2 status is mainly identified by immunohistochemistry (IHC), preoperative and noninvasive ...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for patients with variant histology (VH) muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).
