• Long Non-coding RNA INE1 Induced Autophagy Promotes Sensitivity of Prostate Cancer Cells to Cisplatin

  Hezhen Chu, Kongdong Li ... Jun Ma

  Prostate cancer is most prevalent malignancy of males in the world. In recent years, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were identified, and their functions are associated with prostate cancer initiation and progression. However, their molecular mechanisms still need to be elucidated before the clinical utility. In the present study, we identified the correlation of lncRNA inactivation escape 1 (INE1)...

• Update on How to Improve the Outcome of Radical Cystectomy: A Systematic Review

  Ahmed M. Moeen, Hassan A Aboul-Ella

  Radical cystectomy (RCX) is the most difficult urologic procedure. It is usually performed in patients with morbidities and associated with a high rate of complications. So, every effort must be done to improve the outcome of this surgery. This systematic review tries to put an up to date analysis of the literature on how to improve the outcome of RCX. Evidence acquisition A systematic literature...

• Is Robotic-assisted Partial Nephrectomy an Efficacious and Safe Procedure for Removal of Stage T1 Renal Tumors?

  Deshraj Choudhary, Shams Tabrej Asgarali Ansari ... Saqib Shahab

  Robotic surgery has now evolved as an emerging tool for better and easy operative techniques. The quest for trifecta comprising warm ischemia time less than 25 minutes, negative surgical margins and no perioperative complications seems to be better accomplished by robotic partial nephrectomy, which is likely to become the new standard for minimally invasive partial nephrectomy. It is a prospective...

• Study of Immunohistochemical Marker Psma and Ki 67 Expression and Its Relation with Grading in Prostate Carcinoma

  Amit V Varma, Seema Jindal ... Pooja Kesharwani

  Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequent malignancy (after lung cancer) in men worldwide. In prostate cancer, immunohistochemistry (IHC) has an important role in the diagnostic confirmation. Gleason score, tumour volume, surgical margins and Ki-67 index are the most significant prognostic factors. The value of different biomarkers like p53, Ki-67, PSMA, androgen receptor mutations, IGF, E...

• Long Non-coding RNA FAM66C Promotes Prostate Cancer Metastasis via JNK-Mediated Proteasome and Lysosomal Pathway

  Zhenqian Qin, Kongdong Li ... Xuefeng Yuan

  A lower expression of lncRNA FAM66C was noted in the most prostate cancer patients. Knockdown of FAM66C in human prostate cancer DU145 and PC-3 cells promoted EMT and cell migration, which was suppressed by proteasomal inhibitor MG132 and lysosomal inhibitor CQ. Knockdown of FAM66C induced JNK signaling, cell migration and invasion, and activation of proteasome and lysosome pathways were suppresse...

• A case of malignant pheochromocytoma of the adrenal gland in a young female

  Veda Murthy Reddy Pogula, Ershad Hussain Galeti ... Ayesha Galeti

  Pheochromocytoma is a tumour of the adrenal medulla, derived from catecholamine producing chromaffin cells. Malignant pheochromocytomas constitute 10–25% of all cases. These are difficult to diagnose microscopically. Therefore, malignant pheochromocytomas are diagnosed by the presence of local invasion or metastatic disease. Case presentation We present a case of malignant Pheochromocytoma in a 20...

  Karthikesh Omkaram, Mallikarjuna Reddy Nalabolu ... Ayesha Galeti

  In contrast to proctitis, vaginitis and acute radiation cystitis, late urological complications after pelvic irradiation are rarer, more serious and irreversible. The main disadvantage of radiotherapy is the fact that it affects both cancer and healthy cells located in the tumour area. As a consequence, different complications develop. A large proportion of cancers treated with radiotherapy are lo...

  Adrenal myelolipoma is inevitably a benign neoplasm of the adrenal gland. It is the second most common primary adrenal incidentaloma after adrenocortical adenomas. Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, benign and non-functional neoplasm, composed of mature adipose and hematopoietic tissue which closely resembles bone marrow. Most of these lesions are small, unilateral and asymptomatic, discovered inciden...

  Karishma Gupta, Danly Omil-Lima ... Kyle Scarberry

  Micropapillary urothelial carcinoma (MPUC) is a rare and aggressive histologic variant of bladder cancer. Treatment guidelines recommend forgoing Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy in favor of early radical cystectomy for non-muscle invasive (NMI)-MPUC due to high rates of disease progression. We aimed to evaluate its management in patients with immediate cystectomy and BCG across various cen...

  Mestastatic prostate cancer cells (MPCCs) frequently metastasize to bone, which is a “favorite soil” for colonization and proliferation of MPCCs. Prostate cancer bone mestastasis is tightly associated with tumor-induced bone lesions, most commonly caused from (1) the etiological imbalance between osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic bone resorption and from (2) the anti-tumor immune respon...
