Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer in Non-Curative Patients: A Study on Survival and Palliative Care Needs - Beyond the Abstract
We conducted an analysis of patients diagnosed with MIBC who were either unable or unwilling to undergo curative therapy. We evaluated overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) and ...

Comparison of outcomes between single-port and multi-port robotic radical nephrectomy.
Single-port (SP) robotic surgery is a novel technology, and although there is emerging data, it remains limited in assessing single-port (SP) robot-assisted surgery as an alternative to multi-port (MP ...

Targeting IRE1α reprograms the tumor microenvironment and enhances anti-tumor immunity in prostate cancer.
Unfolded protein response (UPR) is a central stress response pathway that is hijacked by tumor cells for their survival. Here, we find that IRE1α signaling, one of the canonical UPR arms, is increased ...

Adverse events after nivolumab and ipilimumab combined immunotherapy in advanced renal cell carcinoma: a multicentre experience in Poland.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been employed in the adjuvant and metastatic setting of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treatment. Among ICIs, combined immunotherapy has the highest risk for ...
