... to April 13, 2023. Data from studies were pooled to examine the association between PNI, CONUT, or GNRI and overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Results: Thirteen studies were included. Meta-analysis demonstrated significantly poor OS with low PNI versus high PNI in BC patients (hazard...

...) is a ligand that plays a role in proliferation and migration of cells. For several tumor entities, high levels of Gas 6 are associated with poorer survival. We examined the prognostic role of Gas 6 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), especially in papillary RCC (pRCC), which is still unclear. Methods: The patients...

... higher in high-grade type 1 tumors ( p = 0.019) and in type 2 patients with metastasis ( p = 0.002). Kaplan-Meier analysis disclosed significant differences in 5-year overall survival (OS) for patients with PD-L2− compared to PD-L2+ in pRCC type 1 of 88.4% compared to 73.6% ( p = 0.039) and type 2...

...Yannic Volz; Paulo L. Pfitzinger; Lennert Eismann; Benedikt Ebner; Friedrich Jokisch; Gerald Bastian Schulz; Alexander Buchner; Boris Schlenker; Christian G. Stief; Severin Rodler Introduction: Biomarkers are known predictors for survival after radical cystectomy (RC) and can improve patient...

...Pan Song; Mengxuan Shu; Luchen Yang; Xiaoyu Di; Peiwen Liu; Zhenghuan Liu; Jing Zhou; Qiang Dong Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival outcomes of radical prostatectomy (RP), external beam radiotherapy plus brachytherapy (EBRT + BT), and EBRT alone among elderly men (aged 70...

... survival based on data from the clinical cancer registry. Subjects and Methods: A total of 898 patients with tumours of the penis were diagnosed and analysed in the period from 2000 to 2018; they were documented in the 4 regional clinical cancer registries and summarized in the Command Office of these 4...

.... We evaluated if histopathological substaging (pT1a, pT1b, and pT1c) helps predict disease recurrence, progression, and overall survival following transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB). Methods: We included 239 consecutive patients diagnosed with pT1 UBC at TURB in a single institution since...

... radical cystectomy: macroscopically complete transurethral resection (complete) or macroscopically incomplete transurethral resection (incomplete). The primary end point was the recurrence-free survival (RFS). Secondary end points included cancer-specific survival (CSS) and rates of pT0 and downstaging...

...Susanne Bergius; Risto P. Roine; Kimmo Taari; Harri Sintonen Objective: To analyze the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and survival of real-world prostate cancer (PC) patients and to calculate quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) experienced under different treatment strategies. Materials...

... with better survival. However, we demonstrated that patients having more PLNs were associated with worse survival. Additionally, older age, unmarried patients, with Gleason’s score of 8–10, T4 and M1 stages and those who received chemotherapy and/or radiation but did not receive surgery were significantly...

... characteristics and oncological outcomes of such LR that developed 5 years after RC. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 570 patients who underwent RC and bilateral regional lymphadenectomy for UCB at our institution. Comparisons of post-recurrence disease-specific survival (DSS) according...

... cancer (BCa) patients treated with radical cystectomy (RC) at a single institution between 1990 and 2015 were studies. Cox regression analyses were used to stratify pT4ab according to the site of invasion and survival. Results: Overall, 176 (19.2%) and 40 (4.4%) patients harbored pT4a or pT4b disease...

... was to evaluate the effects of various factors including angiotensin-2 converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor blockers (ACEIs/ARBs) on recurrence-free survival (RFS)-related prognosis in patients with P-CIS. Materials and Methods: In our medical center, 5,945 patients were diagnosed with bladder...

... and clinical and histopathological endpoints was examined. Ordinal logistic regression models were applied to assess the influence of BMI on complication rate and survival. Results: Data of 671 patients were eligible for final analysis. Of these patients, 26% ( n = 175) showed obesity. No significant...

.... The preoperative PLR was assessed one day before surgery. Patients were categorized using a PLR cut-off value according to receiver-operating curve analysis. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Additionally, multivariate proportional Cox regression...

...Frances Burge; Roger Kockelbergh Introduction: Despite recent attention, there are no gender specific guidelines to address the disparity in bladder cancer survival between the sexes. The focus of this review was to identify areas of clinical practice that may influence bladder cancer outcomes...

... with urethral carcinoma at 10 referral centers between 1993 and 2012. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to investigate the impact of BC on survival, and Cox regression multivariable analysis was performed to identify predictors of recurrence. Results: Synchronous BC was diagnosed in 13 (12%) patients...
