Preoperative favourable characteristics in bladder cancer patients cannot substitute the necessity of extended lymphadenectomy during radical cystectomy: A sensitivity curve and a survival analysis

VARIANT HISTOLOGIC DIFFERENTIATION IN BLADDER CANCER TREATED WITH RADICAL CYSTECTOMY: INCIDENCE AND LONG TERM SURVIVAL IN A SINGLE INSTITUTION STUDY.

Prime liste faunistiche di Lepidotteri diurni in aree protette italiane

Nell’ambito del progetto Life+ 2008, Validation of risk management tools for genetically modified plants in protected and sensitive areas in Italy (MAN-GMP-ITA), sono stati condotti studi di caratterizzazione dell’entomofauna di alcune aree protette in Italia, da marzo a settembre di due anni consecutivi (2011-2012). Tali studi hanno condotto alla redazione di liste faunistiche di Lepidotteri diurni, Lepidotteri notturni e Coccinellidi per ciascun sito. I due gruppi di specie sono stati scelti in considerazione del loro possibile ruolo come specie “non-target” in studi di impatto ambientale. Le aree oggetto di studio sono state scelte in modo da essere rappresentative di diverse aree bio-ge…

Impact of stage migration on bladder cancer: A slow but steady improvement in the long term survival rates after radical cystectomy in the last 25 years

INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES: Bladder cancer (BCa) is a heterogeneous disease with up to 25% of incidental diagnoses reported to be found muscle invasive at first episode. Numerous markers and an increased awareness have been recorded in the recent years. We sought to evaluate if those considerat ions may determine a change in BCa clinical presentation at radical cystectomy (RC) over years in a single high volume tert iary referral center. MATERIAL & METHODS: The study relied on 2,003 consecutive BCa pat ients treated with RC and extended pelvic lymphadenectomy (PLND) at a single inst itution between January 1990 and December 2014. Pat ients were st ratified into tertiles according to …
