    Current role of systematic biopsy in diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer in primary combined MRI-targeted biopsy: a high-volume single-center study

    Additive systematic biopsy (SB) contributes to prostate cancer (PCA) detection in MRI-targeted biopsy (TB). However, the reasons for this are not yet clear. We compared the performance of TB, SB and the combin...

    Prospective analysis of pain expectancy and experience during MR-fusion prostate biopsy: does reality match patients’ expectancy?

    Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging fusion targeted prostate biopsy (MR-TB) has emerged to the biopsy technique of choice for evaluation of patients with suspected prostate cancer (PCA). The study aimed...

    Mitochondrial PIWI-interacting RNAs are novel biomarkers for clear cell renal cell carcinoma

    PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) have been suggested to serve as biomarkers in cancer. In this study, we validated the expression profile of two piRNAs derived from mitochondria, piR-34536 and piR-51810, in tiss...

    Optimizing outcome reporting after radical cystectomy for organ-confined urothelial carcinoma of the bladder using oncological trifecta and pentafecta

    Radical cystectomy (RC) for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) is associated with heterogeneous functional and oncological outcomes. The aim of this study was to generate trifecta and pentafecta criter...
