Expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator system in non-metastatic prostate cancer
To investigate the prognostic role of expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator system members, such as urokinase-type activator (uPA), uPA-receptor (uPAR), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-...

Performance of [68Ga] Ga-PSMA 11 PET for detecting prostate cancer in the lymph nodes before salvage lymph node dissection: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Salvage lymph node dissection (sLND) for nodal recurrence in prostate cancer (PCa) patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR) is still not recommended in current guidelines, because of the diagnostic inaccurac...

Open AccessProspective evaluation of the performance of [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT(MRI) for lymph node staging in patients undergoing superextended salvage lymph node dissection after radical prostatectomy
To assess the accuracy of [68Ga]-PSMA-11 PET/CT or [68Ga]-PSMA-11 PET/MRI (PSMA-11 PET/CT(MRI)) for lymph node (LN) staging using salvage LN dissection (SLND) in patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR) after r...

Development and external validation of a pathological nodal staging score for patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma
To develop and externally validate a model that quantifies the likelihood that a pathologically node-negative patient with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (cRCC) has, indeed, no lymph node metastasis (LNM).

Oncologic outcomes after robot-assisted versus open radical cystectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The efficacy of RARC in oncologic outcomes compared ORC is controversial. We assess potential differences in oncologic outcomes between robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and open radical cystectomy (ORC).

Is neutrophil-to-lymphocytes ratio a clinical relevant preoperative biomarker in upper tract urothelial carcinoma? A meta-analysis of 4385 patients
Preoperative blood-based inflammatory biomarkers have been suggested to improve staging and prognostication in patients with upper-tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is the...

Accuracy and prognostic value of variant histology and lymphovascular invasion at transurethral resection of bladder
To evaluate the concordance rate of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and variant histology (VH) of transurethral resection (TUR) with radical cystectomy (RC) specimens. Furthermore, to evaluate the value of LVI a...
