Invasive urothelial carcinoma with chordoid features may be an ominous sign predicting sarcomatoid change: a case report of a bladder carcinoma
Invasive urothelial carcinoma with chordoid features has not been reported since being first documented in 2009. Here we report a further case of it, involving an 85-year-old man with a papillary tumor of the ...

Skeletal-related events and prognosis in urothelial cancer patients with bone metastasis
The aim of the present study was to elucidate the details of bone metastasis (BM) and the resulting skeletal-related events (SREs), and survival and prognostic factors, in urothelial cancer (UC) patients with BM.

Simulation study on penetration depth of light in the source–detector distance using a nine-layered skin tissue model in the visible wavelength range
We simulated the relationship between the diffuse reflectance and penetration depth of light in skin with respect to the source (S)–detector (D) distance using the nine-layered skin tissue model for three wave...
