BACKGROUND
Many phase 2 bladder-sparing programmes using transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) plus chemotherapy or radio-chemotherapy have been undertaken, but some controversies remain.

PURPOSE
miRNAs are noncoding RNAs that negatively regulate target mRNA gene expression. Aberrant miRNA expression is associated with prostate cancer pathogenesis. We identified miRNAs as potential… (More)
PURPOSE
We proved the feasibility of radical transurethral bladder tumor resection in selected patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer with a minimum followup of more than 15 years and… (More)
PURPOSE
We analyze the impact of a single mitomycin C instillation in patients with low risk superficial bladder cancer with short and long-term followup.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A total of 131… (More)
UNLABELLED
A retrospective study was performed to determine the prognostic value of Basement Membrane (BM) integrity, Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) and E-Cadherin expression in renal cell… (More)
OBJECTIVE
Coagulation is initiated by the interaction of tissue factor (TF) with plasma coagulation factors VII (FVII) and X (FX). TF is highly expressed in atherosclerotic lesions, but little is… (More)
In severe COPD patients, oxidative stress, which is involved in their peripheral muscle dysfunction, increases in response to exercise. In this study, muscle oxidative stress was explored after… (More)
The elements involved in mediating cell-specific and thyroid hormone stimulation of rat growth hormone gene expression have been defined by transfection studies and by nuclease footprinting.… (More)
OBJECTIVE
To establish the optimum time of radical cystectomy (RC) for patients with recurrent high-risk superficial bladder tumours after the failure of intravesical therapy.

PURPOSE
To perform a comparative study of 500 consecutive (125)I seeds implants for intracapsular prostate carcinoma with two techniques differing in terms of both strand implantation and planning.… (More)
