Filter by:Hematuria is recognized as an important sigh of potential urinary tract malignancy. Therefore, understanding the disease processes and discovering the potential urothelial carcinoma (UC) underlying this important sign is critical. Cystoscopy, urine cytology and imaging are most reliable methods for UC diagnosis, but certain drawbacks exist for these methods, such as invasiveness or inaccuracy. Chromosomal instability (CIN) is a hallmark of human cancer, and it's related with tumor stage and grade. Previous research has proved that analyzing CIN of the DNA extracted from urothelial cells in urine samples seems a promising method for detecting UC. Here we intend to assess CIN's performance for hematuria evaluation.
Anlotinib is a novel oral multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor and primary targeted to VEGFR, FGFR, PDGFR and c-Kit. This study intends to assess the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with platinum/gemcitabine for first line treatment of advanced urothelial carcinoma.
In this study, the investigators aim at: 1. Evaluate the presence of vasculogenic mimicry in urothelial carcinomas by CD31-PAS double staining. 2. Correlate the presence of vasculogenic mimicry with the clinicopathologic features as age, sex, TNM stage, pathological grade, recurrence, carcinoma in situ, lymphovascular emboli, lymph node metastasis, necrosis, surgical margin, multifocality and tumor size in urothelial carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility and efficacy of a 12-week, home-based exercise program in bladder cancer patients undergoing curative intent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and RC.
This is a single-center, open-label，phase II study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab plus nab-paclitaxel with or without cisplatin as first-line treatment of unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma.Each enrolled Patient will receive Toripalimab plus nab-paclitaxel with or without cisplatin until progressive disease or intolerable toxicity occurs, then enter a survival follow-up period. Nab-paclitaxel with or without cisplatin will be administered for up to 6 cycles, and Toripalimab up to 2 years.
Recently, promising evidences that blocking PD-1 and PD-L1 is an efficacious way to treat advanced stage bladder cancer patients. Atezolimumab is the first PD-L1 inhibitor approved by US FDA for advanced UBC in June 2014. These novel agents will become the standard therapy for unhopeful UBC patients who fail to respond to cisplatin-based chemotherapy and finally, the first-line treatment would be changed from cisplatin-based chemotherapy to immune check point inhibitors for advanced UBC, particularly neoadjuvant setting. Additionally, along with enormous analysis of genomic landscape of bladder cancer, a consensus was reached regarding the existence of a group of Basal-Squamous-like tumors - designated BASQ - characterized the high expression of KRT5/6 and KRT14 and low/undetectable expression of FOXA1 and GATA3. This novel molecular classification can improve the identification of optimal patient population for different treatment modalities. Specifically, luminal type and basal type may have different treatment response and prognosis after initial definitive treatment, such as neoadjuvant treatments. However, there is no evidence for this topic, particularly the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant PD-L1 inhibitors according to the BASQ classification in patients with advanced urothelial bladder cancer.
Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is the most common cancer of urinary tract. Patients with metastatic UC are usually treated with systemic chemotherapy. There still existed 30% to 50% of advanced UC not responsive to cisplatin-based chemotherapy; the prognosis for patients with metastatic UC remains poor.
