Transurethral bladder resection with few biopsies was performed, histopathological examination revealed a pathological diagnosis of a leiomyoma of the urinary bladder.

In this report, we discuss a case of a 35-year-old man who presented with a perineal swelling, later turned into a non-healing ulcer, first diagnosed as PEH. Still, after clinical suspicion, a deeper biopsy was conducted, confirming the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma and directing treatment appropriately.\u0000Non-healing perineal lesions are not uncommon. Most of the lesions turn out to be Squamous Cell Carcinoma. But, if the histopathological picture suggests Pseudoepitheliomatous Hyperplasia, it is vital to consider the limitations of the biopsy, and a solid clinicopathological correlation is required to look aggressively for underlying Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Due to the benign nature of PEH, most cases are treated via excision biopsy, while grafts or flaps are occasionally required to restore severe tissue defects.\u0000It is therefore crucial to rule out and distinguish this condition from other benign and malignant conditions, as the treatment and prognosis differ widely. It is of utmost importance to sample the base of the lesion, analyze multiple sections, and consider clinical data to ensure an accurate diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":33190,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Urologic Oncology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43391710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the majority of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma, treatment fails to achieve a complete cure post-treatment. Efforts are needed to develop new therapeutics to improve the outcome of renal cell carcinoma. The \"immune checkpoint\" of T cells has attracted much attention in tumor immunotherapy. It is widely accepted that suppressor T cell immune checkpoints promote tumor immune escape through negative immune regulatory signals (cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen 4 [CTLA-4], programmed cell death 1 [PD-1], B7-H3, and B7-H4, among others). The current data suggest that the PD-1 and CTLA-4 receptors inhibit the T cell receptor and its proliferation. Blockade of the PD-I/PD-L1 and/or CTLA-4/CD 28 pathways has shown favorable tumor outcomes in clinical trials in advance-stage renal cancer. This article reviews the role of CTLA-4/CD 28 pathway in renal cell carcinoma.

Recent studies revealed the involvement of ferroptosis metabolism, lipid peroxidation, and System XC-GSH-GPX4 shafts as major mechanisms closely related to RCC progression. Nanoparticles in combination with small molecular ferroptosis induction agents have the advantages of solubility, targeted enhancement, low systemic toxicity, controllable drug control, and synergy advantage in emerging combination therapies.

In the present study, we identified the correlation of lncRNA inactivation escape 1 (INE1) with the characterization in prostate cancer patients, and detected the roles of INE1 in cell autophagy and apoptosis in prostate cancer cells. Our results showed that the lncRNA INE1 expression highly correlate with patients’ survival times, tumor stage, biochemical recurrence, disease recurrence and Gleason pattern. High expression of INE1 was detected in prostate cancer cells, and knockdown INE1 by siRNA resulted in significant inhibition of cell viability. In addition, silencing INE1 induced early autophagy and pro-apoptosis, which augments cisplatin (CDDP)-induced cell apoptosis. Moreover, INE1 played an anti-apoptotic role by targeting the serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 (SRSF2).","PeriodicalId":33190,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Urologic Oncology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41586571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
