• A Rare Case of Post Radiation Urinary Bladder Necrosis in a Patient with Carcinoma Cervix

  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...

• Non-Muscle Invasive Micropapillary Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder: Variable Use of Initial Cystectomy versus Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin

  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...

• Roles of Renin-Angiotensin System in the Regulation of Prostate Cancer Bone Metastasis: A Critical Review

  Manh Tien Tran

  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...
