Ureteral orifice involvement by urothelial carcinoma: long term oncologic and functional outcomes

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (6), 2017
ABSTRACT Purpose: Bladder cancer (BC) may involve the ureteral orifice, and the resection of the orifice has oncological and functional consequences such as development of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), vesicoureteral reflux or ureteral stenosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the on...

Expression, purification and biological effect of a novel single chain Fv antibody and protamine fusion protein for the targeted delivery of siRNAs to FGFR3 positive cancer cells

Background: Gain-of-function of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) is involved in the pathogenesis of many tumors. More and more studies have focused on the potential usage of therapeutic single-chain Fv (ScFv) antibodies against FGFR3. RNA interference (RNAi) has been considered as a promising ...

Overexpression of UHRF1 gene correlates with the major clinicopathological parameters in urinary bladder cancer

Can neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio predict lamina propria invasion in patients with non muscle invasive bladder cancer?

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (1), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective Recent studies have demonstrated the role of systemic inflammation in the development and progression of cancer. In this study, we evaluated whether preoperatively measured neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can predict lamina propria invasion in patients with non-muscle-invasive b...
